Petro-Canada Lubricants gets Allison Transmission global factory fill contract
Petro-Canada Lubricants, a HollyFrontier business, has signed a supply agreement to become the only worldwide first-fill supplier of TES 668TM automatic transmission fluid for Allison Transmission, the premier global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty commercial automatic transmissions.
Using its leading-edge lubricant technology, Petro-Canada Lubricants meets the requirements of the Allison Transmission TES 668TM specification with the formulation of DuraDriveTM HD Synthetic 668.
