Customer reviews
Soft grafts even at −5°C
Fitted to a FIAT manual transmission: smoother shifts when cold, no noise. Excellent on mountain roads.
— Marco R., verified purchase
Silence and precision
On a manual VW Golf, it has reduced the harshness between 2nd and 3rd gear. Quieter transmission, no foam after 5,000 km.
— Alessio P., verified purchase
Good value for money
Used on a Ford Focus: quicker gear changes and slightly better fuel economy in urban driving. Recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use GL‑4 instead of GL‑5?
No, only if the manufacturer allows it. GL-5 has different additives and may not be suitable for bronze/brass synchronizers. Always follow the manual specifications.
How often should you change transmission oil?
Depends on the vehicle and its use (urban, loads, climate). Average life: 80–120,000 km or according to the owner's manual. More frequent replacements improve smoothness.
Is it suitable for dual clutch transmissions (DCT)?
It is suitable for applications requiring Renault DC4 DW5 (6DCT250 dry DCT) . For other DCTs check the exact manufacturer specification.
