Cost savings
Material savings
Reduction in wear: 66%
Description of situation
The original ZF automatic transmission fluid was not developed for racing conditions. The protection at high temperatures is not optimal. In addition, the wear was relatively high and the viscosity increased significantly during the Dakar Rally.
Specifications
| Market | Race & Rally |
| Lubrication Point | Automatic transmission |
| Product | Eurol Specialty Racing ATF |
| Article Number | S099005-4L |
| Product Usage | Transmission oil |
Solution
The use of Eurol Specialty Racing ATF resulted in almost 4 times less wear and the fluid itself was as good as new after the full Dakar Rally.
Customer testimonial
Mario Kress, CEO, MKR Technology: “This Racing ATF definitely offers us a lot of extra reliability. Just by looking at the used fluids, you can already clearly see the difference.”
