PETRONAS Tutela Axle 300 LS 80W-90 is a high-quality axle fluid delivering optimized load-carrying performance, friction coefficient and component durability for today's limited-slip axles, differentials and final drives over their standard service life. It is recommended in transmissions requiring API GL-5, with or without LS, and meets the requirements of ZF and other OEMs' limited-slip axles. The fluid protects business profits and vehicle availability while reducing operating costs through longer axle life, driven by anti-wear, extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-pitting resistance, good thermal and oxidation stability, and good anti-rust and corrosion protection. It also provides an excellent driving experience through good low-temperature fluid flow, an optimal friction coefficient that ensures smooth limited-slip differential operation even under severe conditions while preventing stick-slip, noise and vibrations, and significantly reduced axle noise. Tutela Axle 300 LS 80W-90 meets API GL-5, with approvals including ZF TE-ML 05C/21C and ZF TE-ML 12C performance level. Typical properties include a density of 0.900 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 13.8 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 100, a Brookfield viscosity of 127,000 cP at -26°C, a pour point of -30°C and a flash point of 198°C.
