Valvoline VV982 75W140 Full Synthetic Gear Oil 1 Qt

Product Description

The VALVOLINE OIL COMPANY VV982 is a full synthetic gear oil formulated in a 75W140 viscosity grade for drivetrain lubrication in demanding operating conditions. This thermally stable, extreme-pressure lubricant is engineered to maintain performance across a wide temperature range, from cold-start low-temperature conditions to sustained high-temperature operation under load. It is used by automotive technicians and fleet service professionals servicing differentials, axles, and transfer cases that require full synthetic gear protection. The 75W140 weight provides film strength suited for heavy-duty applications where conventional gear oils fall short.

The VV982 is specifically recommended for limited slip hypoid differentials, where the lubricant must manage both the extreme-pressure demands of hypoid gear geometry and the friction characteristics required by limited slip clutch packs. It is packaged in a single quart container and sold in cases of 12 units. The product is compatible with conventional gear lubricants, which can simplify top-off situations in mixed-fluid service environments. Typical install scenarios include rear axle differentials, front differentials, and transfer cases in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and medium-duty commercial vehicles.

• Available in a 12-unit case pack for shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement gear lubricant for limited slip hypoid differentials and is compatible with conventional gear lubricants as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Gear oil service is typically performed by automotive or fleet technicians. Before draining or filling a differential, ensure the vehicle is safely supported and the drivetrain is cool enough to handle safely. Always confirm the correct fluid specification in the vehicle service manual before adding or replacing gear lubricant, as using the wrong viscosity or additive package can damage limited slip clutch packs. Use appropriate drain and fill plugs, and verify fill level at the fill plug hole before reinstalling the plug.
