SHP® SYNGEAR FE

Premium Synthetic, Fuel-Efficient Automotive Gear Lubricant

Kendall® SHP Syngear FE is a synthetic, fuel-efficient (FE) API GL-5 automotive gear lubricant designed for use in passenger car and truck axles with hypoid gear sets that operate under demanding driving conditions or extreme temperatures. The full-synthetic formulation provides enhanced oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures and better low-temperature properties than conventional mineral oil-based automotive gear oils, resulting in longer service intervals and better performance over a wider temperature range. In fact, in standard industry and commercial fleet tests, SHP Syngear FE has shown a fuel savings of 1.0-1.5% compared to typical synthetic SAE 75W-90 gear oils.

SHP Syngear FE has a carefully balanced formulation designed to minimize oxidative sludge and varnish formation, reduce wear, prevent scoring damage, and protect against metal fatigue and spalling damage under shock-load conditions.

SHP Syngear FE is fully approved for 500,000-mile drain intervals in drive axles in linehaul service under Dana® and Eaton Roadranger® extended warranties.

Features & Benefits

  • Extended drain, all-season performance
  • Outstanding oxidation resistance and thermal stability to minimize sludge and varnish formation
  • Excellent thermal durability and extreme-pressure properties for extended gear life
  • High load-carrying capacity for protection against scuffing and wear
  • High shear stability
  • Outstanding low-temperature properties
  • Protects against rust and corrosion
  • Good foam resistance
  • Higher fuel efficiency compared to typical conventional SAE 80W-90 and synthetic SAE 75W-90 gear oils

Applications

  • Service fill of conventional differentials in passenger cars and trucks
  • Top-off only of limited-slip differentials in passenger cars and light trucks(1)
  • Service fill of differentials, final drives and transfer cases in some off-highway equipment
  • Non-synchronized manual transmissions in trucks, buses and heavy equipment where the manufacturer specifies an API GL-5 or MT-1 gear oil

    (1)Note: For complete drain and refill, many limited-slip differentials may require the manufacturer’s specified gear lubricant or supplemental additive. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific requirements.
