Automotive Gear Oils
Engineered for load, pressure and durability.
VORTEX Automotive Gear Oils are formulated to provide dependable protection for manual transmissions, drive axles, differentials and final-drive systems operating under demanding combinations of load, speed and temperature. Manufactured using carefully selected base oils and advanced extreme-pressure additive technology, the range supports strong film strength, smooth gear operation, thermal stability and reliable protection against wear, scuffing, pitting and deposit formation.
Automotive gear systems vary significantly in design, metallurgy and frictional requirements. VORTEX therefore provides application-specific formulations for synchronized manual transmissions, hypoid axles, heavy-duty drivetrains and selected limited-slip differentials, helping maintain component protection and consistent performance throughout the recommended service interval.
