Valvoline Global Operations, a worldwide leader in automotive and industrial solutions, announced another innovative addition to its product portfolio: Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil. The brand’s first-ever super premium full synthetic gear oil to hit the market, the new product is proven to maximize differential life offering four times better gear wear protection when compared to Valvoline Daily Protection Gear Oil.
Valvoline said its Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil was developed to assist passenger car and light-duty truck owners in protecting vehicle gear surfaces against extreme shock loading and high-temperature conditions which can negatively impact oil life.
The company added that Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil offers consumers several benefits, proven through L-42 standard testing, including:
- Protection against extreme temperature breakdown, shock-loading and high-torque impacts provided by innovative formulation featuring performance-enhancing additives.
- Anti-foam agents which quickly break down to provide better lubrication, faster.
- Friction modifiers to ensure optimum limited slip clutch performance.
The new formulation is available for purchase in Valvoline’s patented FLEXFILL bag, a package designed to make gear oil changes easier. Its flexible construction makes it ideal for use in compact spaces while releasing two times more fluid with less effort as compared to traditional gear oil packaging, the company said.
“We developed our new Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil in direct response to customer feedback looking for a premium gear oil in an easy-to-use package,” said Jean-Claude Duho, technical original equipment manager, Valvoline Global. “This new solution is innovative from its packaging to its formulation. It is designed to deliver outstanding protection in the most demanding conditions while optimizing gear performance and extending the life of gear components.”
Available in SAE 75W-90 and SAE 75W-140, Valvoline Extended Protection Full Synthetic Gear Oil is available at select retailers nationwide and online at ValvolineGlobal.com.
