This SAE Information Report was prepared by the SAE Fuels and Lubricants Technical Committee for two purposes: (a) to assist the users of automotive equipment in the selection of axle1 and manual transmission lubricants for field use, and (b) to promote a uniform practice for use by marketers of lubricants and by equipment builders in identifying and recommending these lubricants by a service designation.
Rationale:
This SAE Information Report describes the overall performance characteristics of axle lubricants and heavy-duty transmission fluids. It will be a useful tool for those new to this industry. The document has been updated to reflect the latest trends and specifications in the industry.
