The right oil for BMW rear axles

LIQUI MOLY launches fully-synthetic hypoid gear oil in the U.S.

BMW cars need special oil for their rear axle. The German company LIQUI MOLY has now launched its fully-synthetic GL 5 SAE 75W-140 LS hypoid gear oil in the U.S.

“You cannot use common gear oil for the BMW rear axle,” Gary Boyd, sales manager at LIQUI MOLY, explained. “Due to its design, the gear in BMW rear axles is quite prone to wear, which is why BMW recommends regular gear oil changes.” LIQUI MOLY has developed the GL 5 SAE 75W-140 LS to give rear axles the best protection.

It has three major features. First, it is a combination of fully-synthetic base oil with extreme pressure additives. Second, the developed additives make the oil capable of altering the frictional coefficient between the clutch plates in such a way as to prevent stick-slip and its consequential judder. Third, the unusually high viscosity of 140 provides the gear with extra protection and ensures proper lubrication even under extreme conditions.

This oil performance allows even longer oil change intervals. Furthermore, running noise is reduced and the gear is better protected from rust and corrosion. LIQUI MOLY GL 5 SAE 75W-140 LS meets all BMW specifications precisely. “It is the right German-made gear oil for cars made in Germany,” said Gary Boyd. “By using it you get the best performance and protection for the car.”

LIQUI MOLY is available at Worldpac, IMC, NAPA, Bavarian Autosport, Northside Imports and SSF.
