Liqui Moly Gear-Oil Additive 20g – MoS2 Boost for Smoother Shifting
Ever fancy giving your gearbox and differentials a bit of extra TLC to fend off wear and overheating? That’s exactly where Liqui Moly’s 1040 Gear-Oil Additive comes into its own. This wee 20-gram bottle is packed with a concentrated dose of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), which lays down a tough, slippery film on the moving parts inside your gearbox. The upshot? Less friction, reduced wear, and a much quieter, smoother drive overall.
How does it benefit your motor?
When your gearbox or diff is put through its paces—think heavy loads or hot conditions—the metal components can end up grinding against each other. That’s not ideal. This additive steps in like a pro, forming a solid lubrication layer that cuts down on all that rubbing. The result is smoother gear changes, less racket, and a transmission that runs cooler than usual. Plus, it helps spread heat more evenly, so your gearbox isn’t working overtime.
When and where should you use it?
This one’s made for manual gearboxes, driveshafts, and differentials without built-in wet diff locks, as well as mechanical steering setups. It’s especially handy if you’re regularly hauling heavy loads or if your vehicle faces high thermal strain. One bottle treats up to a litre of gearbox oil—nice and simple. Just a heads-up, though: it’s not suitable for motorcycles with wet clutches, so best give it a miss there.
What’s inside the bottle?
The magic ingredient is MoS2, a bit of a legend in the automotive world for cutting wear and taming friction. This additive helps the gearbox teeth mesh more smoothly, knocking down the usual clatter and making your drive a more enjoyable experience.
