Description of problem

The transmission oils have to protect all lubricated parts during the complete Dakar Rally with minimal friction and wear. The previously used products were acceptable but wear was still higher than desirable.

Solution

Eurol Specialty Racing 75W-140 transmission oil offers very good wear protection and lowers friction. This results in much less wear metal in the oil that was analysed and compared with the previously used Elf HTX 755 transmission oil. In the Eurol Specialty Racing 75W-140 samples, 3 times less wear metals were found, which is a spectacular result.

Customer testimonial

Glyn Hall, general manager, Toyota GAZOO Racing: “This is definitely what we want to see. We are constantly improving the cars and reliability is extremely important. This new transmission oil helps us to create a better car.”
