Get Liqui Moly Hypoid Gear Oil LS SAE 85W-90 in Kenya
When it comes to vehicle performance, most people think about engine oil and fuel additives โ but if you really want your 4×4, truck, or performance car to run smoothly and reliably, thereโs one critical area you shouldnโt ignore: the differential.
Specifically designed for high-load, high-stress applications, Liqui Moly Hypoid Gear Oil LS SAE 85W-90 is a premium mineral-based gear oil formulated to provide exceptional protection and performance, even under the toughest conditions. If your vehicle has a limited slip differential (LSD) or heavy-duty drivetrain, this oil is your perfect match. ๐ช๐
๐ง What is Hypoid Gear Oil LS?
Letโs break it down:
-
Hypoid gear oil is made for gear sets where the gears slide across each other at an angle โ typical in differentials, especially in trucks and rear-wheel drive vehicles.
-
LS (Limited Slip) indicates it’s formulated with friction modifiers that are safe for clutch-type limited slip differentials โ preventing chatter and ensuring smooth torque transfer.
In short: Liqui Moly Hypoid Gear Oil LS SAE 85W-90 is engineered to protect your differential gears, reduce wear, and ensure optimal traction in all driving conditions โ from smooth highways to rocky trails. ๐โฐ๏ธ

๐ ๏ธ How to Use
-
Check your ownerโs manual for the correct gear oil spec. Look for SAE 85W-90 GL-5 LS or similar.
-
Drain old oil from the differential or axle housing.
-
Clean magnetic drain plugs (they catch metal debris).
-
Fill with Liqui Moly 85W-90 LS until it reaches the fill plug level.
-
Tighten and test drive. After driving a short distance, check for leaks and listen for unusual noises.
๐จ Tip: Always make sure your diff is compatible with LS gear oil. While LS oil is backwards compatible with standard diffs, the additives are specifically made for LSD units.
