Roadranger Synthetic Lubricants

Roadranger Marketing has released the results of recent fuel economy tests revealing fuel savings of more than one percent with use of the newest generation of Roadranger Synthetic Lubricants for transmissions and axles. The tests, which compared Roadranger Synthetic Lubricants to traditional synthetic blends and semi-synthetic blends, included those that were performed with two major U.S. fleets, and a third that was conducted at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. With the fleet tests, both linehaul carriers realized an average fuel economy savings of 1.029 percent. The Southwest Research test generated a fuel savings of 1.112 percent. Each test adhered to established TMC and SAE protocols, one the SAE Type III 1526 test, the second the TMC/SAE J1321 test, and the third a modified J1376 test.
