SPECIAL LIMITED-SLIP GEAR LUBRICANT
Friction-Modified Automotive Gear Lubricant
Kendall® Special Limited-Slip Gear Lubricant is an extreme-pressure, API GL-5, SAE 80W-90 automotive gear oil formulated to lubricate most limited-slip rear axles found in passenger cars and light trucks. With a friction-modified formulation, this limited-slip gear oil helps eliminate chatter in limited-slip differentials while turning corners.
With a carefully balanced formulation, Special Limited-Slip Gear Lubricant provides extended gear life no matter the operating conditions because it minimizes oxidative sludge and varnish formation, reducing wear and preventing scoring damage to protect against metal fatigue and wear.
