A new TOTAL Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) range has been launched globally and it replaces the existing TOTAL MTF products. The new TOTAL MTF range involves new product names while maintaining the same formulation for most products and rationalisation of some products.
Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) is an essentially lubricant for the manual transmission of a vehicle which can be a passenger car or a heavy duty vehicle. The manual transmission consists of the gearbox and the axle.
For the TOTAL MTF range, TOTAL’s MTF for the gearbox meets the API GL-4 levels and TOTAL’s MTF for the axles meets the API GL-5 levels.
In addition to API specifications, most TOTAL MTF products have official direct OEM specifications approvals from the likes of Mercedes Benz, MAN, Scania, Volvo, ZF etc. after officially meeting the technical requirements set by these OEMs.

Hierarchy
The numbers in the product name represents performance levels so therefore the higher the number the better the performance. Therefore Gear 9 offers a higher performance level than Gear 7.
