Kenworth to add new axle lube

A full synthetic axle lube that will become standard on Kenworth Class 5 to 8 models starting this summer can save customers up to 1% on fuel economy, parent company Paccar said.

Produced by Cognis, the Emgard FE 75W-90 will be available in the U.S. and Canadian markets. It improves upon conventional gear lubricants in operating performance, gear life, extended drain and all-season lubrication while reducing downtime, Paccar said.
