Review: Top-Tier Gear Oil That Delivers Smooth, Quiet Performance - I recently used Liqui Moly Gear Oil for a rear differential fluid change, and I’m seriously impressed with the results. From the moment I opened the container, I could tell this was a high-quality product. It has that signature Liqui Moly consistency—clean, thick, and formulated to do the job right. After changing out the old fluid and replacing it with this, I immediately noticed a difference. The gears run quieter, and shifting feels smoother—especially under load or when the vehicle’s cold. I’ve driven about 1,000 miles since the change, and performance has remained consistent, even in varying temperatures. One thing I really appreciate is the built-in additive package. Liqui Moly’s reputation for advanced formulas holds true here—it protects against wear, resists foaming, and keeps the differential cool, even during long hauls or heavy towing. Pouring it was simple with the well-designed bottle and spout—no mess, no waste. And yes, it's a bit more expensive than generic gear oil, but the peace of mind and improved performance are absolutely worth it. If you’re serious about maintenance and want long-lasting protection for your transmission or differential, Liqui Moly Gear Oil is a no-brainer. It’s German-engineered excellence in a bottle
Review: This Is True GL-4 Gear Oil - I used this for the gear oil in my Pinzgauer, and it is working beautifully. It's true GL-4, which is hard to come by these days. Most of the time bottles will say GL-4 / GL-5 which is NOT GL-4. You have to use GL-4 oil on gearboxes that have yellow metal (like brass) or the components will degrade over time. In a Pinzgauer, be sure to use this oil in the transfer case and the transmission. The differentials and portal boxes can take GL-5.

## Features

- For transmissions (particularly manual transmissions) and axle drives with normal to high loading for which an API GL 4 gear oil is required
- Mineral transmission oil for vehicles with tried and tested transmission technology
- Provides a stable lubricating film
- Minimizes wear
- Provides extremely good lubrication properties and outstanding corrosion protection
- During selection, keep to the viscosity class stipulated by the transmission manufacturer. Miscible with all branded gear oils. Fully effective only when used alone

**Q: How does this shift when cold?**
A: My car has 277,920 miles on the original transmission and engine. When it get down in the lower 20s outside it starts going in slower and you can feel it going through the synchronizer and then into gear. As far as I’m concerned it does really well even when it’s cold
