Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because the MIL L 2105D specification is indeed equivalent to the API GL-5 specification, which is commonly used for heavy-duty differential gear oils. Technician B is also correct because API GL-3 and GL-4 lubricants are generally not approved for use in current heavy truck differential carriers due to their lower levels of extreme pressure (EP) additives compared to API GL-5, which is required for the higher load conditions experienced in these applications.
