XADO EX120 Manual Gearbox, Transmission and Differential Additive with Wear Protection (XA 10030)
Keeping your manual gearbox, transfer case, or differential in tip-top shape can be a bit of a faff, especially when wear and tear starts to creep in. That’s where the XADO EX120 gear oil additive comes into its own – it’s designed to give your transmission parts a new lease of life and keep them ticking over more smoothly for longer. But this isn’t just any old additive; it actually forms a ceramic-metal layer on the surfaces of gears, shafts, bearings, and synchronisers, helping to restore the original shape of worn components. Clever stuff, right?
How Does It Work?
Once you’ve added it to your warmed-up gearbox or differential oil, the EX120 gets stuck in during your everyday driving. Over roughly 50 hours or about 1,500 km, it can slash those irritating noises and vibrations by up to tenfold, sharpen up gear changes, and even help synchronisers engage more smoothly. It’s a bit like giving your gearbox a proper spa day.
Why Bother?
If you’ve noticed scratching, pitting, or a bit of roughness when you switch gears, this treatment could be just the ticket. It optimises how the gear teeth mesh together, cutting down wear and tear and possibly boosting your fuel efficiency—great news if you’re running an all-wheel-drive motor. Plus, if you happen to lose oil unexpectedly, it can keep your transmission running safely for up to 1,000 km. That’s a handy safety net.
How to Use It
Adding the additive is dead simple – just pour the recommended amount straight into the oil filler neck of your gearbox or differential once the oil’s warm. Then, crack on with your usual driving. If you start to notice the noise dropping pretty quickly, that’s a good sign the revitalisation is kicking in. If things aren’t looking up after 100-200 km, it might be worth double-checking the problem or trying the suggested dosage tweak.
Compatibility and Care
The best bit? EX120 plays nicely with all kinds of manual transmission oils without mucking about with their properties or viscosity. No messing about with special blends or oils. It’s suitable for manual, robotised, sequential, and Direct Shift gearboxes, as well as transfer cases and axles.
