Mack Trucks has introduced the Bulldog mDRIVE transmission fluid SAE 75W-80, a new transmission fluid for its mDRIVE automated manual transmission.

Engineered specifically to complement the performance and productivity of the mDRIVE, the transmission fluid is a fully synthetic, heavy-duty transmission lubricant.

This transmission fluid delivers lubrication, component protection, and fuel economy demanded by the mDRIVE and is formulated to meet the Transmission Fluid 97318 specification. Key benefits include:

•75W-80 viscosity grade—Maintains fuel economy benefits of the mDRIVE through reduced viscous churn, smoother gear meshing, and easier pumping and filtering •High viscosity index—Allows for outstanding low-temperature fluidity for quicker starts, easy shifts, and reduced wear during cold start-ups while providing strong lubricating films at higher temperatures •Shear stability—Maintains effective viscosity and film strength for better wear protection during severe operation •Load-carrying capability—Helps protect against wear under all operating conditions throughout the life of the transmission •Outstanding thermal durability and oxidation resistance—Protects against deposit formation, and contributes to long seal life and extended oil drain and service intervals •Stable, optimized friction properties—Allows for smooth and rapid gear shifting •Extended drain capability—Approved for up to 500,000-mile oil drain intervals, helping to reduce operating costs Bulldog mDRIVE Transmission Fluid SAE 75W-80 is available in both five-gallon pails (P/N 9853-120550) and four, one-gallon jugs (P/N 9853-120551).
