Acura HGO-1 GL-5 75W-85 Gear Oil — Genuine OEM 08200-9014A for Manual Transmissions, Wear Protection

Acura Genuine HGO-1 GL-5 75W-85 is a manufacturer-specified hypoid gear oil formulated for Acura manual transmissions and final drives, delivering matched viscosity and friction properties for reliable shifting and wear protection.

This Acura-labeled HGO-1 fluid (part number 08200-9014A) is the original-equipment gear lubricant designed to meet the specifications and operating demands of select Acura transmissions and differentials. Choosing the factory-recommended fluid helps preserve gearset durability, predictable shift feel and long-term component life compared with off-the-shelf alternatives that may not meet the same performance matrix.

What applications is this 75W-85 gear oil intended for?

The HGO-1 GL-5 75W-85 is intended for manual transmissions, hypoid differentials and other gearsets that require a GL-5-rated hypoid lubricant with 75W-85 viscosity. It is commonly used in Acura models that specify HGO-1 in the owner's manual or service documentation.

• Manual transmissions where Acura HGO-1 is listed
• Hypoid final drives and rear differentials requiring GL-5
• Cold-start protection with 75W low-temperature flow
• High-pressure gear tooth protection from GL-5 additives

How does this fluid affect shifting and component longevity?

Using the factory-specified gear oil helps maintain the transmission's designed shift characteristics and synchronizer performance. The blend of base oils and additives provides boundary lubrication and extreme-pressure protection that reduce wear and help components last longer under normal driving conditions.

• Optimized friction to support smooth, consistent shifts
• Anti-wear and extreme-pressure additives for gear life
• Viscosity stability across a broad temperature range
• Helps prevent scoring and pitting of hypoid gears

How should I use and store Acura HGO-1 75W-85?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s fill and change recommendations. Use clean funnels and strainers during service to avoid contamination, and store unopened containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve additive integrity.

• Replace fluid per Acura’s service intervals
• Use correct fill volumes listed in the service manual
• Keep container sealed until use to avoid moisture ingress
• Dispose of used oil responsibly at approved facilities

Is this the exact part my Acura requires?

Confirm by checking your vehicle’s owner manual, service guide or OEM parts listing to match part number 08200-9014A. If your model calls for HGO-1 or lists that part number, this is the genuine OEM fluid intended for that application.

• OEM part number: 08200-9014A for direct compatibility
• Verify model-year and transmission type before purchase
• Contact an authorized Acura dealer for application confirmation
• Using wrong fluid can affect gear performance and warranty
