Test Outcome:

Fail

Technical Conclusion:

In summary, FEBI BILSTEIN 75W-90 GL-5 may not meet the necessary performance standards for high-load and cold-temperature applications expected of API GL-5 gear oils. The low weld load, noted at 315 kg, falls below the typical minimum of 350 kg for API GL-5 oils, indicating insufficient load-carrying capacity. This shortfall suggests that the oil may be less effective under high-pressure conditions, leading to increased wear and reduced component durability. Given these deficiencies, it is likely that this oil is more similar in performance to a GL-4 grade oil, making it potentially unsuitable for the demanding conditions commonly found in gear systems that require full GL-5 protection.

Technical Conclusion:

The FEBI BLISTIEN 75W-90 GL-5 transmission oil fails to meet the expected performance standards for a full GL-5 gear oil, particularly in terms of:

  • Cold-Temperature Performance: The pour point of -36°C is too high for a 75W-90 oil, indicating it may struggle in colder climates.
  • Load-Carrying Capacity: The weld load of 315 kg is below the required 350 kg for API GL-5 oils, signaling that it has insufficient capacity to handle high-pressure, high-load conditions effectively.
