Translube LD
Mild Extreme Pressure Heavy Duty, Manual Transmission Fluid

- Manual transmissions, both synchromesh and constant mesh, and other components of Mercedes-Benz, MAN and other European heavy-duty vehicles.
- Other light-duty and heavy-duty manual transmissions, transaxles, which specifically require mild EP gear oils meeting API GL-4
- Spiral bevel drive axles, planetary hubs and other automotive gear units for which mild EP gear oils meeting API GL-4 are required or are acceptable.
Extended oil drain intervals
Special frictional properties significantly lower transmission running temperatures for cooler operation and less heat stress on the oil. Thermally stable EP system provides improved protection against pitting and wear, enabling extended drain capability compared with more conventional technology oils.
Long transmission life
Thermally stable EP system limits corrosion of copper-containing bearings and bushings and provides improved steel pitting protection under severe conditions. The EP system also provides very good anti- wear protection for transmission gear components.
Enhanced synchronizer performance
Special frictional characteristics provide optimum transmission synchronizer performance and shift feel in European vehicles.
Low environmental impact
Very low chlorine content reduces the environmental impact of ultimate disposal. Extended drain capability potentially lessens quantity of used oil requiring disposal.
