09.01.2019 - 09:47

With the introduction of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, Mercedes-Benz has set new standards in terms of driving dynamics and efficiency. The new transmission offers low shifting times giving maximum comfort due to smooth gearshifts and higher efficiency. 

The topic of CO2 savings has taken on an important meaning in the transmission sector as well. This is accompanied by a constant increase in efficiency achieved with a lubricant with lowered viscosity. At the same time, wear protection and friction characteristics have not been ignored.

In addition, requirements such as higher oxidation stability also play a key role. All these requirements were set out by Mercedes Benz in the specification MB 236.22. FUCHS PENTOSIN FFL-10 is based on FUCHS Lubricants’ unique XTL® technology, specially optimised for the requirements of this gearbox, it is approved accordingly to the MB 236.22 specifications.
