Reduce Wear and Increase Transmission and Axle Life with Valvoline Gear Oils
Routine maintenance is vital to keep our vehicles in peak operating condition. When it’s time to drain and refill your vehicle’s transmission or axles, reach for Valvoline Gear Oil. These premium gear oils include anti-wear additives to increase durability and dispersants to reduce sludge and carbon varnish buildup on gears and bearings.
High Performance Gear Oil
Formulated from premium-quality base stocks, Valvoline High Performance Gear Oils is a sulfur-phosphorus, extreme pressure gear lubricant recommended for conventional drive axles, differentials, non-synchronized transmissions, industrial gear boxes, and power take-off (PTO) units requiring an oil designed for high speed, high load, high torque, and/or high horsepower applications. Valvoline High Performance Gear Oil meets or exceeds API GL-4 and GL-5 requirements. Features include:
- Outstanding thermal stability for cleanliness and longer service life
- Anti-wear additives protect gear teeth against pitting, spalling, and scouring
- Special additives reduce chattering and minimize shock load wear
- Protection from rust and corrosion
- Excellent load carrying capacity
- High anti-foam and demulsibility performance
DuraBlend Synthetic Blend Gear Oils
Valvoline’s DuraBlend Gear Oil is formulated from premium synthetic and conventional base oils to deliver enhanced performance in both low- and high-temperature operating conditions. Valvoline recommends DuraBlend Gear Oil for everyday use applications like passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, vans, and heavy-duty trucks where an API GL-4 or GL-5 oil is specified, and temperature and humidity ranges vary widely between service intervals. Available in 80W90 and 85W140 viscosities.
SynPower Full Synthetic Gear Oils with Limited Slip Additive
At the top of the Valvoline Gear Oil mountain is SynPower Full Synthetic Gear Oil. This extreme pressure, extreme wear gear oil offers the greatest level of protection in conventional and high performance applications. Special additives assist in protecting gear teeth and substantially reducing wear, and allow the oil to meet or exceed the service requirements for API GL-4/GL-5/MT-1, MIL-PRF-2105E, SAE J2360, and Mack GO-J fluids.
Moreover, SynPower is also Valvoline’s only gear oil to contain friction modifiers that eliminate chattering in GM, Ford, and Chrysler limited slip differentials, eliminating the need to buy expensive supplemental additives. Valvoline SynPower Gear Oil meets manufacturer requirements for factory-fill or drain-and-fill requirements for these applications:
- SynPower Full Synthetic 75W90 Gear Oil is suitable for use where GM 16445 Dexron 75W90 gear oil is specified
- SynPower Full Synthetic 75W140 Gear Oil is suitable for use where Ford M2C-192A, GM 12346140, Chrysler MS-8985, or GL-5 75W140 gear oil is specified
