ep90 substitute

NiallRussell · Aug 16, 2015

on the road to kazakhstan and trying to find some ep90 for axles and T Box. im not good with knowing oil numbers and meanings. cant find ep90 anywhere. would it go by another name? if i cant find it what else is usable.

sorry for not searching. limited internet.

many thanks.

I also know it as a Hypoid gear oil .. the 90 is a 'weight' or effectively a viscosity/thickness of the oil, so any number close would probably do as a 'get you by' substitute ..

80 will do the trick too. Might simply be called gear oil. Best of luck!

remember multigrade is fine too 75w/90

found some 75w90. thats in the axles now. got some gl4 for the trans box. cant find mtf94 for the gbox so will use atf 2. (is atf 3 not good?). what about engine. everything here is 5w30. seems too cold for me.

cheers for your help!

LOL, 5w 30 will have to do then!!!

At least you have some oil ... get it while you can I'd say .. but you wouldn't imagine Oman to be short of the stuff!

ATF Dextron 3 is better over MTF94 anyway,

5w30 means it will leak out faster,

80x90 is prefered on diffs and transferboxes anyway, if they leak then go to ep90
