Depending on vehicle and application, Volvo I-Shift transmission fluid is approved for drain intervals up to 500,000 miles, which helps reduce operating costs. Volvo I-Shift Transmission Fluid SAE 75W-80 is the preferred transmission fluid for the Volvo I-Shift, which is now standard on all Volvo-powered trucks built for the North American market.
“Volvo I-Shift transmission fluid is designed to help the I-Shift maintain its peak operating efficiency,” said Chris Stadler, Volvo Trucks product manager. “It has been developed to deliver the correct frictional responses, material compatibility and unique viscosity grade needed for optimized fuel economy and fluid durability demanded by the I-Shift.”
Volvo I-Shift transmission fluid’s 75W-80 viscosity grade helps it maintain its fuel efficiency benefits through reduced viscous churn, smoother gear meshing and easier pumping and filtering. The 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
Stable, optimized friction properties ensure smooth and rapid gear shifting, reducing stress on the driveline and tires
With its exceptional shear stability and load carrying capacity, Volvo I-Shift Transmission Fluid SAE 75W-80 maintains effective viscosity and film strength for better wear protection under all operating conditions, even severe, throughout the life of the transmission.
The transmission fluid offers outstanding thermal durability and oxidation resistance, which helps protect against deposit formation and contributes to long seal life and extended oil drain and service intervals.
