Automotive Lubricants

Forward thinking and fuel efficient

Dow's automotive lubricant fluids and additives help lubricant manufacturers develop better oils. Fuel efficiency, engine operating temperature, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), corrosion, and deposits are all critical to a vehicle's life cycle cost. Expertly formulated automotive lubricants are the solution, reducing friction, extending vehicle lifespan, and reducing costs.

That’s why our R&D team is constantly working on pioneering new fluids and additives that enhance key performance aspects of automotive lubricants. We work closely with lubricant and equipment manufacturers to develop solutions for a range of product applications.

Get in touch to learn how we can help you improve your oil and vehicle performance with solutions like engine oil and fuels, axle gear lubricants, transmission fluids, viscosity modifiers and more.
