2 valvoline i DRIVELINE LUBRICANTS Together, stronger! First brand - First in innovation Dr. John Ellis created the petroleum industry s first brand in To free the jammed valves of a large V-shaped steam engine he used his own cylinder oil. He soon registered the name VALVOLINE as the world s first trademarked lubricant brand. Today, Valvoline lubricants, chemicals and car care products are manufactured, marketed and sold in more than 100 countries by Ashland Consumer Markets, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc. The innovative edge Ashland operates a worldwide network of laboratories that develop and test Valvoline products. These high-quality products go beyond industry specifications, giving users the confidence that their vehicles will operate at peak performance. Over a century of quality With nearly 140 years of success, the Valvoline brand is recognized as a leader in product and service quality, with millions of loyal customers around the world. 2 Quality that endures Dr. Ellis introduced a brand that represents innovation and quality. The industry has changed a lot since, but the passion and the drive to deliver groundbreaking engine solutions lives on in today s high-performance Valvoline products. The oldest trademark in the industry 1873

3 INTRODUCTION TO DRIVELINE LUBRICANTS Today s gearboxes and transmissions are designed to produce higher levels of performance than before. This in turn requires that high quality and increasingly complex gear lubricants are used. For years Valvoline has manufactured and marketed a high quality range of gear oils which are a result of extensive field experience and R & D facilities / initiatives. valvoline i DRIVELINE LUBRICANTS There are a number of transmission types with different applications and advantages. Manual Automated Manual Automatic DCT CVT Shift Time (ms) not applicable Fuel Consumption Savings Baseline + 2-4% % + 3-5% + 3-5% Weight Baseline + 5-6% Up to 50% % % Cost (Euro) CO 2 Reduction Baseline 3-5% - 10% 4-8% Up to 10% Key OEMs GM, PSA, Fiat, Renault-Nissan Fiat, PSA, GM BMW, Daimler, VW VW, Ford, Fiat, PSA VW (Audi), Mercedes, Asian Customer Acceptance Low cost, High fuel efficiency, Ease of maintenance Poor shift quality, Good fuel efficiency Expensive, High comfort levels, Not sporty enough Best shift quality, Expensive, Excellent fuel efficiency Expensive, Limited potential, Complicated maintenance 3 This makes the world of driveline lubricants complicated. Many passenger car manufacturers apply their own driveline technology and use lubricants that last the entire life cycle of transmissions. To reduce this complexity Valvoline has developed a multi-vehicle driveline range that meet specifications of most main passenger car models. With commercial vehicle manufacturers the use Meritor axles or in-house manufactured axles is common. The most often used transmissions are manufactured by ZF or Eaton and in some cases in-house developed and produced transmissions. The chart below shows the detailed information for the main commercial vehicles manufacturers. The Valvoline driveline range has the latest OEM approvals for commercial vehicles Meritor Axles ZF & Iveco transmissions Volvo, ZF & Eaton transmissions ZF & Eaton transmissions ZF & Eaton transmissions ZF & Eaton transmissions Mercedes MAN IVECO DAF Volvo Scania Renault Others

4 valvoline i DRIVELINE LUBRICANTS WHAT MAKES A GOOD DRIVELINE OIL? Optimum viscosity The transmission oil s resistance to flow is a key characteristic and has a major effect on how the transmissions perform. If the fluid is thicker, it will flow through the system less easily and may affect operating efficiencies. If the fluid is too thin it will flow more easily which could result in better fuel economy, but could also fail to sufficiently lubricate and protect your system. Thermal stability As time goes by, anti-wear additives in systems break down naturally, a process that can be accelerated by high temperatures. As a result, slough and varnish form, which can clog and reduce flow and interrupt system operation. Acids that are also formed can corrode some components. To reduce these problems, Valvoline transmission oils are thermally stable, long lasting and protect the whole power train. 4 Anti-wear and corrosion agents Transmissions are vulnerable to water and condensation that can mix, causing corrosion of parts. Water can also react with additives to form compounds that degrade components. Valvoline transmission oils contain anti-corrosion agents that protect system parts. Compatibility with seals Most transmissions incorporate seals made of elastomers and contact with transmission oils can cause seals to harden, swell or crack, particularly at high temperatures. Valvoline transmission oils are compatible with seals under a wide range of conditions.

8 8 DID YOU KNOW? API specifications are commonly used for gear oil classification The American Petroleum Institute (API) created a classification system for gear oils based on application conditions and the type of gears most commonly used. The presence of frictional systems such as clutches or synchromesh rings in gearboxes as well as sealing material compatibility or component wear are not included. API gear oil classifications are now internationally recognized and used. The performance requirements for automotive gear lubricants depend on their intended use. API Category GL-4 designates the type of service characteristic for spiral-bevel and hypoid gears in automotive axles operating under moderate speeds and loads. These oils may be used in selected manual transmission and transaxle applications. API Category GL-5 designates the type of service characteristic for gears - particularly hypoids in automotive axles operating under high-speed and/or low-speed, high-torque conditions. API Category MT-1 designates lubricants intended for non-synchronized manual transmissions used in buses and heavy-duty trucks. Lubricants meeting API MT-1 provide protection against the combination of thermal degradation, component wear, and oil seal deterioration.
