Precise gear changes, reliable power transfer and a transmission that performs smoothly even during spirited riding – that's exactly what MAXIMA MTL-R 80WT was developed for. This high-quality, mineral-based transmission oil from the MTL Racing Formula series is specifically formulated to meet the demands of motorcycle manual transmissions with wet clutches. It combines a durable lubricating film with controlled clutch performance, providing the right foundation for demanding road and racing applications.
In motorcycles and classic manual scooters with wet clutches, transmission oil has two important jobs: reliably protecting the gears against wear while maintaining the friction characteristics required for proper clutch operation.
MAXIMA's special ClutchSaver™ formula is designed to support smooth clutch engagement, help prevent clutch slippage and reduce wear on clutch components. According to the manufacturer, the oil is suitable for both original equipment and aftermarket clutch friction plates.
Inside a manual transmission, the lubricant is exposed to high pressure and shear forces. The shear-stable formulation of MTL-R 80WT helps maintain consistent viscosity even under mechanical stress. Its durable lubricating film protects gear tooth surfaces and helps reduce wear, pitting and surface spalling.
With its 80WT viscosity rating, MTL-R sits between the lighter 75WT and the higher-viscosity 85WT versions in the three-grade MTL range. MAXIMA recommends this version for applications where a 10W-40 lubricant is specified. However, the vehicle or transmission manufacturer's requirements must always be followed.
MAXIMA MTL-R 80WT is designed for separate manual transmissions in 2-stroke and 4-stroke motorcycles. It can also be used in suitable manual scooter transmissions, provided the lubricant specifications required by the vehicle manufacturer are met.
This product is not a universal engine oil and should not be used in automatic transmissions, CVT drives or final drive gearboxes without checking the manufacturer's specifications. The 80WT viscosity designation must not be confused with an SAE 80W gear oil classification.
For riders looking for a lubricant specifically developed to meet the combined demands of a manual transmission and wet clutch, MAXIMA MTL-R 80WT offers a carefully formulated solution with a clear racing focus. Designed for smooth gear changes, reliable power transfer and effective protection of valuable transmission components.
