Low-Viscosity Lubricants

When used in a line-haul truck, synthetic engine and drive train lubricants can improve fuel economy by three percent, saving nearly 500 gallons of fuel and cutting five metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

• Low-viscosity synthetic or semi-synthetic lubricants flow more easily and withstand the extreme pressure of engine, transmission, and drive train systems better than conventional mineral oil blends.

• The operator of a typical line-haul truck can save up to $500 annually by switching to low-viscosity lubricants, with additional savings possible due to reduced wear and maintenance of truck systems.
