They accomplish hard work with extreme precision: Modern commercial vehicle transmissions must be reliable, very long-lasting, and provide the driver with maximum shifting comfort. Transmission oil plays an important role here, as it has a significant impact on the transmission components. ZF Services experts explain the advantages of high-quality oil: “Cheap oils often cannot meet high requirements; the perceived savings made when buying it are often paid for over the years due to heavier wear. The higher price of fully synthetic oil pays for itself within twelve to eighteen months”. Clear advantages ZF Services therefore offers its own oils and aspires towards a synchronized development of transmissions and lubricant. ZF-Ecofluid M, which is especially designed for commercial vehicles, increases the length required between oil change intervals: A change is only required every three years, as opposed to annual changes with standard mineral oils. This is not only good for your bank account but also for the environment. The reduced need for repairs and high protection against wear, for example during interlocking, storage, and synchronization, also reduce downtime. Compared to mineral and semi-synthetic transmission oils, ZF-Ecofluid M increases transmission efficiency. This cuts fuel consumption by up to one percent; an annual operating cost saving in the 3-digit euro range. ZF Services offers ZF-Ecofluid A Life for the special requirements of line service, city, and intercity buses, as well as for special and rail vehicles. This cuts consumption and ensures effective utilization of the engine output while providing reliable protection to the transmission and transmission parts from premature wear.
