Maxima MTL-XL X-Light 75W Gear Oil 1 Litre

Engineered by Maxima Racing Oils, MTL-XL X-Light 75W is a high-performance, mineral-based transmission lubricant optimized specifically for the extreme demands of bike-engined Autograss race cars. Running high-revving motorcycle engines (both 2-stroke and 4-stroke architectures) in lightweight Class 7 or Class 8 chassis subjects the internal wet clutch and gearbox to brutal, high-frequency shock loading. This advanced formula maintains exceptional film thickness and viscosity stability across extreme operating temperatures to keep your drivetrain fully protected.

Featuring Maxima's proprietary ClutchSaver™ technology, this oil delivers precise, predictable clutch hookup off the start line, completely eliminating slip while protecting clutch plates under rapid, high-RPM sequential gear changes. The shear-stable formula actively cushions gear teeth against severe pitting, spalling, and shock wear under heavy roost traction transitions.

Key Technical Features:

• Bike-Engined Autograss Optimization: Designed specifically to handle the elevated thermal loads and extreme input speeds of motorcycle gearboxes adapted for racing chassis.

• ClutchSaver™ Technology: Ensures maximum static and dynamic friction coefficient performance, preventing clutch slippage and lowering wear on aggressive clutch launches.

• Shear-Stable Mineral Base: Prevents viscosity breakdown under violent mechanical shearing, maintaining a robust boundary layer on gear faces.

• Universal Plate Compatibility: Safe for use with all OEM motorcycle clutch packs and heavy-duty aftermarket racing friction plates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why should I run a motorcycle-specific gear oil in my bike-engined Autograss car?

A: Standard automotive gear oils contain friction modifiers that will cause motorcycle wet clutches to slip instantly. Maxima MTL-XL is formulated specifically to lubricate high-load gears while simultaneously providing the exact friction balance required for high-performance wet clutches.

Q: Does this oil meet international motorcycle racing specifications?

A: Yes. Maxima MTL-XL X-Light exceeds the rigorous requirements of the JASO MA2 standard, which is the highest global index rating for wet clutch compatibility and high-torque operation.

Q: How often should I change this transmission fluid when racing Autograss?

A: Due to high-RPM operation and the constant threat of dirt and moisture contamination on short-circuit tracks, the gearbox fluid should be inspected after every meeting and changed regularly to preserve internal bearing life.
