New Spicer® XFE 75W-90 Drive Axle Lubricant Offers Further Improvements
Today at the Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2015 Annual Meeting, Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) announced the launch of Spicer® XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant, an all-new synthetic gear oil to further improve fuel economy in high-efficiency drivetrain solutions while qualifying for an initial 500,000-mile drive axle lubrication change interval.
Spicer XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant is specifically formulated to improve drive axle efficiency in a variety of on-highway applications. Dana engineers have validated numerous performance benefits of Spicer XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant, including reduced friction and spin loss, a lower stabilization temperature, and more stable viscosity during operation. Vehicle tests indicate that the use of this lubricant could enable additional fuel savings to result in a payback of typical purchase cost within six months when compared with currently approved synthetic axle lubricants.
Spicer XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant passed meticulous testing specified by SAE International and Dana’s Materials Engineering Department. It met requirements to SAE J2360 and was qualified to meet Dana SHAES256 Rev C specifications. Spicer XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant can improve vehicle efficiency and reduce fleet operating costs when used in combination with the latest efficient, robust, and lightweight drive axles from Dana, such as the Spicer® AdvanTEK® 40 and Spicer® Pro-40™ tandem axles for 6×4 configurations as well as the Spicer® EconoTrek™ 6×2 tandem axle.
