Lubricants and Greases
Lubricants and greases for commercial vehicles come in a wide variety, but all are designed to help keep equipment operating at optimal performance levels by reducing friction. Products come in both synthetic and conventional petroleum forms. Here is a sampling of what is available.
Castrol engine oils
Castrol Assuron are high-performance, straight-grade, heavy-duty engine oils that couple selected base stocks with a balanced additive package to enhance engine performance and protect engine parts for extended life and reduced maintenance costs.
Extremely resistant to the formation of high-temperature deposits, the oils have a higher dispersant package that also works to keep the cooler areas of the engine from sludge and other harmful deposits.

CITGO multipurpose gear lubricants
CITGO Premium Gear Oils are multipurpose gear lubricants that use a sulfur-phosphorus additive system to impart extreme pressure properties.
The additives specifically impart anti-weld, anti-scuff, and anti-wear properties necessary in heavy-duty service gear lubricants.

Delo transmission fluids
Delo Trans Fluid ESI is a premium grade, heavy-duty truck manual transmission fluid engineered to minimize friction and operate at lower temperatures to improve thermal and oxidation stability for longer transmission and lubricant life.
It is the only non-synthetic transmission fluid approved for Eaton's 750,000 mile extended warranty.
