Valvoline Releases Heavyduty Gear Oil for Industrial Use

May 6, 2026

Imagine rugged mountain roads where heavy-duty trucks, laden with cargo, navigate challenging terrain. The roar of engines blends with the steady hum of transmissions, the critical hub of power transfer in these vehicles. Under immense pressure and friction, gear oil serves as a steadfast guardian, ensuring smooth operation and longevity for these mechanical workhorses.

Valvoline™ Global has introduced its Daily Protection Gear Oil SAE 85W-140 , engineered to deliver exceptional protection for gear systems across a wide range of vehicles. Specifically formulated for demanding conditions, this product is ideal for heavy-load applications and high-torque scenarios.

Technical Specifications and Performance

The SAE 85W-140 designation reflects its multi-grade properties: the "85W" indicates low-temperature fluidity, ensuring rapid lubrication in cold climates, while the "140" denotes high-temperature viscosity, maintaining a robust oil film under extreme heat and pressure to prevent gear wear.

Key advantages of Valvoline™'s formulation include superior anti-wear performance. Advanced additive technology creates a durable protective layer on gear surfaces, minimizing direct metal-to-metal contact and significantly reducing wear. The oil also demonstrates excellent oxidation resistance and anti-corrosion properties, preventing oil degradation and metal corrosion to maintain gear system cleanliness and stability.

Applications and Availability

Compatible with diverse vehicle types, the product is currently available for commercial procurement. Valvoline™, one of America's oldest lubricant brands, continues its tradition of innovation with this release, reinforcing its commitment to addressing customer needs in the lubrication sector.

For heavy-duty applications where reliability is paramount, this gear oil offers a proven solution to protect critical drivetrain components under the most challenging operating conditions.
