o Enhanced performance in a wide range of operating temperatures

The Dana SHAES 256 Specification

The SHAES 256 Rev C specification resulted from a need for a gear lubricant that can handle greater power densities at lower operating temperatures.

About Texaco Syn-Star GL Oils

Texaco Syn-Star GL oils are heavy duty, extreme pressure, multigrade automotive gear lubricants. They are manufactured from synthesized hydrocarbon base fluids that have excellent thermal and oxidation stability, a high viscosity index, and a low pour point. The low pour point of Texaco Syn-Star GL oils impart excellent lubrication during startup at subzero temperatures, while the outstanding viscosity temperature characteristics provide dependable lubrication at high temperatures. Lower frictional losses in the lubricant film and reduced churning losses due to lower bulk oil viscosity lead to reduced operating temperatures when compared to conventional gear lubricants.

Availability

Texaco Syn-Star GL SAE 75W-90 is available in pail and drum sizes.
