Two new, premium synthetic transmission fluids designed specifically for the heavy-duty manual transmission market have been introduced by Chevron Products Company. They meet the newly released Eaton Fuller PS-164 Rev 7 specification. Available as Chevron Delo Synthetic Transmission Fluid SAE 50 and Texaco Syn-Star TL SAE 50, these products meet and exceed the major OEM’s performance requirements for extended drain and warranty. In addition, Chevron says, both offer reduced component wear and potential fuel-economy improvements to truck operators.

Both the Chevron and Texaco lubes are specially formulated high-viscosity and low-pour-point synthetic lubricants that provide year-round erformance under severe climate and operating conditions. During cold weather shifting, the all-season properties of this formulation lubricate transmission parts quickly, resulting in less gear wear and drag.
