Comline Auto Parts has complemented its range of motor oils and lubricants with the addition of gear oils, transmission fluids and brake fluids.

Refined and blended in Europe, this entire range of new lubricants comes in a distinctive new silver and yellow packaging, differentiating it from the renowned blue and yellow livery of Comline motor oil and at the same time providing enhanced on-shelf appeal. In addition, each Comline gear oil, transmission fluid and brake fluid type features a unique colour accent to help customers distinguish between the grades and easily find the product they are looking for. The company says that as with all of its products these high-specification lubricants cover a comprehensive array of popular European, Japanese and Korean engine types.

The new range features three different gear oils, each of which are available in 1-litre bottles: 80W90 GL4 and 80W90 GL5 are both mineral options, with 75W90 GL5 a synthetic offering. 75W90 GL5 and 80W90 GL4 are prescribed for manual gearboxes and final drives, whilst 80W90 GL5 is formulated for use with hypoid gears and hub reductions. All deliver a reliable performance thanks in part to special additives included in the blend. This special formulation is designed to reduce wear, corrosion and foam building whilst protecting the oil against thermal oxidation at high temperatures.

Comline’s four-strong range of transmission fluids, also offered as 1-litre options, feature a low pour point that ensures the fluids lubricate and protect at low temperatures. This feature is most prevalent during cold start-up when a lubricant is subjected to the lowest possible operating temperatures. Comline offers ATF1100 and ATF3H fully-synthetic, ATF3G semi-synthetic and ATF2 mineral transmission fluids. The four options means the range offers coverage for a wide range of automatic transmissions types as well as power steering systems, hydraulic systems, torque convertors and fluid clutches.

Comline says its brake fluids allow motorists to safeguard the performance of their braking system and drive with total confidence. Comline has launched its brake fluid range with two popular variants: DOT4 and DOT5.1. Available in a 1-litre or 500ml bottle, Comline DOT4 is a premium specification that provides maximum protection against corrosion within the hydraulic system and is developed specifically for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, mopeds, scooters, forklift trucks and motorcycles. Comline DOT5.1, available in 250ml, is fully-synthetic and recommended for ABS and ASR brake systems. The low viscosity of this brake fluid, in comparison to DOT3 and DOT4, delivers superior performance in such systems. Both Comline DOT4 and DOT5.1 brake fluids feature a high ‘wet boiling point’, which protects against the dangers of vapour lock within the braking system.
