Freightliner Trucks has announced Roadranger Fuel Efficient (FE) 75w-90 synthetic axle lubricant is now available as a factory-installed option on its Cascadia, Coronado, Columbia and Century Class trucks.

According to the company, independent research confirmed the lubricant can reduce fuel consumption by more than 1%. It also extends vehicle life by improving operation in extremely low and high temperatures and provides better protection against gear-wear in high-horsepower, high-torque, high-speed, heavy-load and severe applications, Freightliner added.

Manufactured by Cognis Corp., the lubricant also includes resistance to oxidation at high operating and peak drivetrain temperatures; advance seal conditioning base additives for extended life, and is non-corrosive to copper and other yellow metals.
