Delivery and Shipping

UK delivery — parts we hold in stock

Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.

Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Collection from Arlesey

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

International

3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

Febi Bilstein 75W-85 GL-5 axle drive gear oil (part 48785) is a high-performance, low-viscosity lubricant engineered for differentials, manual gearboxes and axle drive assemblies. Its advanced base-oil matrix with shear-loss resistance protects against wear, corrosion and silt build-up, extending the service life of drivetrain components. Suitable for applications specifying API GL-5, including ZF, MB and VW specifications.

What is 75W-85 GL-5 gear oil used for?

75W-85 GL-5 is used in differentials, rear-axle drives and some manual gearboxes where a low-viscosity, high-pressure lubricant is required. The GL-5 rating indicates extreme-pressure additive performance for hypoid gears.

How often should axle drive oil be changed?

Interval varies by vehicle and application — typically every 60,000–100,000 km or per the vehicle manufacturer's schedule. Always follow the OEM recommendation.

Is this oil compatible with my ZF differential?

This oil meets ZF TE-ML 18 specification. Check your ZF unit's service requirement against the approvals list above to confirm compatibility.

Can 75W-85 replace 75W-90 in my gearbox?

Only if the manufacturer specifically approves a 75W-85 GL-5 fluid. Never substitute a lower viscosity without checking the OEM specification first.
