Liqui Moly Gear Oil GL4 SAE 85W-90

Liqui Moly Gear Oil (GL4) SAE 85W-90 is a mineral-based transmission oil formulated for stable performance across changing temperatures and high torque loads. It supports smooth gear engagement, accurate shifting, and a durable lubricating film for wear protection in compatible manual transmission and differential applications.

  • Mineral-based GL4 gear oil for manual transmission and differential service
  • SAE 85W-90 viscosity for year-round use in approved applications
  • Helps maintain consistent lubrication under high torque conditions
  • Supports easy shifting and smooth gear engagement
  • Part number 20016 for application matching and service lookup

Product Line Details

Liqui Moly’s Gear Oil (GL4) line is built for driveline components that require GL4 performance rather than heavier-duty GL5 chemistry. This formulation is intended for vehicles and service points where accurate synchronizer operation and dependable film strength matter, including select Honda, Acura, Land Rover, Nissan, Infiniti, and Suzuki applications.

  • Maintains lubrication performance in year-round driving conditions
  • Supports service fill and first-change maintenance on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies GL4 SAE 85W-90 gear oil. Verify the service location, capacity, and temperature requirements before filling, especially on Acura, Honda, Land Rover, Nissan, INFINITI, and Suzuki applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Liqui Moly formulates this gear oil to deliver consistent viscosity and dependable lubrication performance for approved driveline service. Part number 20016 is identified for application matching across the listed fitments.
