SUPER THREE STAR®

Synthetic Extended-Drain Automotive Gear Lubricant

Kendall® Super Three Star Synthetic Gear Lubricant is a synthetic API GL-5 automotive gear lubricant specially designed for long-drain service and extended warranty protection in passenger car and truck axles with hypoid gear sets.

Super Three Star Synthetic Gear Lubricant is formulated to provide long service life and extended gear life in automotive differentials operating under varying speed, load, temperature, and torque conditions. It combines excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures with outstanding low-temperature properties to ensure excellent performance over a wide temperature range. Because this gear oil has excellent water-separating properties, it helps prevent the formation of emulsions and retains its lubricating properties in the presence of water. Super Three Star Synthetic Gear Lubricant is approved for 500,000-mile drain intervals in drive axles under Meritor extended warranties.

Features & Benefits

  • Extended drain/extended warranty protection
  • 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
  • Excellent water-separating properties
  • Protects against rust and corrosion
  • Good foam resistance
  • Compatible with synthetic and conventional automotive 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.
