Valvoline Global Releases First Premium Full Synthetic Gear Oil Product

Valvoline Global Operations has released what it’s calling its first-ever super premium full synthetic gear oil, according to a press release.

The new product, Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil, is advertised to offer four times as much gear wear protection as Valvoline Daily Protection Gear Oil.

Intended for passenger cars and light duty trucks and put through L-42 standard testing, the oil is made up of performance-enhancing additives to combat extreme temperature breakdown, shock-loading, and high-torque impacts.

Anti-foam agents are also included in the product for better lubrication, as well as friction modifiers to improve limited slip clutch performance.

Available in SAE 75W-90 and SAE 75W-140, the gear oil is being offered in Valvoline’s FLEXFILL bag, which the company has designed to release two times more fluid while being compact enough for tight spaces, compared to typical gear oil packaging.

“This new solution is innovative from its packaging to its formulation,” said Jean-Claude Duho, technical original equipment manager for Valvoline Global. “It is designed to deliver outstanding protection in the most demanding conditions while optimizing gear performance and extending the life of gear components.”
