DuraDrive™ Synthetic 668

The factory fill for every Allison Transmission factory worldwide

Most refuse trucks on the road run an Allison automatic. When Allison builds those transmissions, DuraDrive Synthetic 668 from Petro-Canada is the fluid they fill them with. Using the same fluid in your shop keeps your packers protected the way the factory intended, through every stop, start, and shift on the route.

  • Meets Allison TES-668, TES-468, and TES-295
  • Full synthetic for extended drain intervals
  • Stable shift quality under heavy stop-and-go loads
  • Excellent protection at high operating temperatures

Featured Product

Hydrex™ MV 32

High viscosity index hydraulic oil for balers and compactors

Balers like the Harris run hard all day, and their hydraulic oil gets hotter as the shift goes on. Normal oil thins out as it heats up, which can make the system sluggish and wear the pump. Hydrex MV 32 contains viscosity modifiers, which are long-chain polymers that stay coiled up when the oil is cool and stretch out as it warms. As the base oil thins with heat, those expanding polymers thicken it back up. That gives the oil a high viscosity index, so it keeps a steady thickness from a cold morning start to a hot afternoon.

  • Viscosity modifiers keep oil thickness steady as temperatures rise
  • Consistent response in balers, compactors, and packer bodies
  • Fast cold starts with less pump wear at operating temperature
  • Works year-round, from winter mornings to summer afternoons
