Rudis Transmission Oils
Seamless Power.
Liberated Performance.
Transmissions are at the heart of heavy machinery – converting engine power into motion. The Rudis series transmission oils are designed to keep this heart beating reliably, day in and day out
Named after the Rudis – the wooden sword that symbolized a gladiator’s hard-won freedom – Rudis oils represent mastery over extreme conditions. In massive loaders, haul trucks, or any equipment with complex torque converters and wet clutches, Rudis ensures shifts stay smooth, heat stays in check, and components stay protected. It gives your machinery the freedom to perform at its peak without being shackled by breakdowns or inefficiencies.
Precision Where Power Transfers
Between the engine and the wheels, every component relies on one thing: flawless lubrication. Rudis protects transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials from the relentless forces of torque, friction, and heat — ensuring power flows smoothly, mile after mile. From manual gearboxes and heavy-duty axles to the latest automatic transmissions, Rudis oils are engineered to deliver the strength, stability, and control your drivetrain demands.
Manual Transmissions & Differentials
For vehicles that depend on direct, mechanical connection, Rudis fluids provide the film strength and thermal stability needed under heavy loads and high torque.
Available in standard, limited-slip, and fully synthetic formulations, these lubricants protect gears, bearings, and synchronisers against wear, pitting, and corrosion — ensuring effortless shifts and long service life across light and heavy vehicles alike.
Typical Applications:
- Manual transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials
- Light commercial vehicles, 4WDs, heavy-duty trucks
- Off-road and fleet equipment operating under shock load or temperature extremes
Automatic Transmissions (ATF)
Modern automatic and multi-speed transmissions demand precise viscosity control and friction stability. Rudis ATF formulations deliver smooth shifting, stable film strength, and thermal resistance across a wide range of OEM specifications.
Whether you’re maintaining a classic hydraulic transmission or a late-model multi-vehicle fleet, Rudis ATFs ensure quiet operation, low wear, and consistent performance across service intervals.
Available Fluids:
- Rudis ATF DEX III – Mineral-based, for legacy Dexron III/Mercon systems
- Rudis X ATF Multi-Vehicle – Synthetic, suitable for most modern Asian, European, and US vehicles
- Rudis X ATF 668 – Premium synthetic fluid for heavy-duty and extended-drain automatic transmissions (TES 668 compliant)
Heavy-Duty Manual Transmission Fluids
Rudis X MTF and extended-drain synthetics are purpose-built for severe-duty transmissions such as Eaton Roadranger, Meritor, and ZF Freedomline units. They resist shear, oxidation, and thermal degradation over long service intervals — maintaining viscosity and film integrity where conventional oils break down.
Typical Applications:
- Line-haul trucks, buses, mining and construction equipment
- Extended-drain manual transmissions (Eaton, Spicer, Meritor, ZF)
- High-load drive axles and synchronised gearboxes
Limited-Slip Differentials
Rudis LS oils incorporate friction modifiers that prevent chatter and ensure smooth, progressive engagement in limited-slip and locking differentials. They provide the same wear and corrosion protection as conventional gear oils while maintaining ideal clutch-plate friction characteristics.
Typical Applications:
- 4WDs and SUVs with limited-slip or locking differentials
- Agricultural and construction machinery using wet-clutch differentials
- Performance vehicles requiring controlled traction response
The Rudis range is designed to simplify maintenance without compromise. Each formulation is tested against global specifications — from API GL-5 and MIL-PRF-2105E to modern OEM standards such as Dexron VI and Eaton PS-164.
Whether mineral or full-synthetic, every Rudis product represents precision protection in the most demanding driveline environments.
