Kenworth will introduce its new Cognis EMGARD(R) FE 75W-90 full synthetic axle lube into production at plants in Chillicothe, Ohio, Renton, Wash., and Ste. Therese, Que. Major advantages over conventional gear lubricants include better operating performance, increased gear life, extended drain and all-season lubrication, and reduced maintenance and downtime. Kenworth estimates a 1% fuel economy advantage when the product becomes a standard on its Class 5-8 models in the United States and Canada starting this summer.



Cognis EMGARD SAE 50 full synthetic transmission fluid is also standard fill on Kenworth Class 5-8 models and contributes to fuel economy and optimum component protection. Both the axle lube and transmission fluid are available at Kenworth dealers.
