Driveline Fluids

Driveline fluids encompass applications ranging from axle lubricants to manual transmission fluids to various automatic transmission fluids, including stepped automatic, continuously variable and dual clutch – for both light duty passenger vehicles and heavy duty commercial trucks. Driveline applications challenge lubricants to perform in all conditions ranging from start-up on the coldest winter mornings to surviving the intense heat of pulling a trailer across the desert in summer.

Lubrizol viscosity modifiers bring significant performance benefits to even the most challenging of driveline lubricant demands. Our viscosity modifiers utilize the most advanced polymer technology to provide the performance needed today and for the future. Lubrizol’s VM technologies for driveline applications deliver:

• Extreme shear stability for lower viscosity loss in extended service 
• High viscosity index (VI) for greater efficiency and high temperature protection 
• Excellent low-temperature fluidity for protection and efficiency during cold start-up 
• Optimized for Group III base oil formulations 
• Low traction or internal fluid friction under load for improved efficiency 
• Robust oxidation and cleanliness performance to protect friction surfaces and seals
