Differential gearbox – perfection lies in balance

Differential gears are most commonly used as axle differentials in automobiles. They ensure for example the different speed of wheels and their balanced performance in different speed situations. Differential transmissions are used for rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel vehicles. It is lubricated by approx. 1-1.5 liters of differential gear oil. With regard to the change, a "Lifetime" property of the oil is often attested. Accordingly, the differential gear oil would be usable over the entire service life of the vehicle. However, you should not blindly trust this identifier. The automotive manufacturers usually refer to the handbooks themselves that a change after 80.000 or 120.000 kilometers is necessary, despite Lifetime property. The "Lifetime" thus quickly turns out to be a marketing tool. If the differential gear oil has already turned black when changing, the oil change proves to be long overdue.

Distributor oil for the driving force balance

The transfer case ensures the equal distribution of the drive force on several axes. This ensures that all four wheels are operated simultaneously. Automotive manufacturers such as VW and BMW have special spare parts numbers for the suitable distributor oil. As in the case of differential gear oil, a smaller liter quantity is required for the transfer case oil.







Ravenol is a trademark of Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH, located in Werther. High quality lubricants are produced in Germany and sold in the domestic as well as worldwide. After the founding in 1946 Ravenol developed and produced only single-grade engine oils and various cleaning agents. In 1964, after the company's expansion, multigrade oils of SAE classes 10W-30 and 20W-50 have been added to the product range. In the 90s, began the global orientation of the brand Ravenol and the products "Made in Germany" have been distributed internationally. The high product quality is thereby certified by 3 certifications. This is, the ISO / TS 16949 certificate, which includes DIN EN ISO 9001. The ultra-modern Laboratium of Ravenol is certified by DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025. With this high quality standard there are multiple approvals by various OEMs such as Daimler, Chrysler, VW, BMW, Porsche, MAN, Volvo, MTU, Deutz, ZF, Steyr Motors, Cummins, and many other. Furthermore the products of Ravenol are listed in NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) and API (American Petroleum Institute).

A special feature of Ravenol is the CleanSynto formulation. For this purpose, synthetic base oils are blended with premium additives of CleanSynto technology so soot and dirt deposits are reduced. The oils of Ravenol extend the oil change intervals and engine life while reducing operating costs. In addition, the company from East Westphalia has been able to land another technological coup in recent years. With the unique USVO technology the quality of some engine oils could be raised to an even higher level. USVO stands for Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil. Primarily the new technology achieves an extreme stability of the viscosity, which protects the engine even more. This is particularly interesting for high power peaks and longer operation.
