LIQUI MOLY SAE 75W-90 (1L) – Full Synthetic Differential & Transfer Box Oil (API GL-4+, VW 501 50 G50) – Service Part
LIQUI MOLY 75W-90 is a full-synthetic high-performance gear oil for manual, transaxle, transfer boxes and differentials where API GL-4+ / VW 501 50 (G50) is specified. It delivers precise friction behavior, excellent aging resistance, and smooth, easy shifting even under extreme loads and large temperature swings.
Popular in Volkswagen & Audi applications (cross-ref G 052 145 S2). This is a genuine service part suited for routine gearbox/diff servicing.
Capacity guide: most diffs take ~1.2–1.3 L; always check the workshop manual.
