Features and Benefits
The performance capabilities of today’s heavy duty on- and off-highway equipment
have vastly improved in terms of load, torque, speed, and reliability through
innovative power train designs. These designs have
increased demands on axle
lubricants, requiring them to deliver higher levels of performance. For heavy
duty axles, friction control, wear protection, thermal stability, shear stability,
rust and corrosion prevention, and seal protection are features that must be
balanced to provide extended gear and seal life, smooth operation, improved
fuel economy and high load, high torque capability over a wide range of
applications.

Applications
- Heavy duty manual transmissions, axles and final drives
requiring API GL-5 and MT-1 performance
- On-highway light and heavy duty trucks, busses and vans
- Off-highway industries including construction, mining,
quarrying, and agriculture
- Other heavy-duty industrial gear drives including hypoid
and worm gears operating under conditions where high
speed/shock load, high speed/low torque, and/or low speed/high
torque conditions prevail
- Recommended for equipment such as winch reduction gears and
crawler vehicle propulsion gear drives that are exposed to
severe low temperatures
- Recommended where extended service intervals and warranties are required
