- Valvoline offers two types of heavy-duty GL-4 gear oil:
- Heavy Duty Gear Oil PRO GL-4 are officially OEM approved and designed for use by true professionals to ensure high performance and protection in modern, in-warranty, gearboxes of heavy-duty equipment.
- Conventional Heavy Duty Gear Oils, GL-4-compatible, are best recommended for use in multi-vehicle/multi-brand operations when heavy-duty gearboxes have run out of warranty and no longer require an officially approved (and more expensive) gear oil.
