Performance & benefits

  • Low power loss - improved efficiencySpecial frictional properties and high fluidity combine to give lower power loss, lower operating temperature and higher mechanical efficiency. Long additive life and excellent viscosity control maintains performance over the oil’s lifetime and provides smooth shifting under all conditions.
  • Longer oil drain capabilityLong life additives ensure long-term protection of the gears and high oxidation resistance so providing extended drain capability.
  • Longer transmission lifeOutstanding pitting, scoring and wear protection. Excellent synchromesh compatibility - exceeds requirements of leading OEMs.
