Mercedes-Benz SL450 Drivetrains

National® has built a reputation as one of the most respected names in the industry. We have offered premium sealing solutions for more than 75 years. Our design team keeps pace with the industry and provides advanced solutions for today’s vehicles.

Product Features:

• Designed to repair damaged, grooved or worn shafts
• Durable stainless steel construction for corrosion-free sealing surface that surpasses most original shaft specifications
• Ideal for a shaft where indications of seal wear, such as tracks or grooves have developed
• Ultra-thin construction (0.01/0.25mm wall thickness) allows original seal size to be used with minimal additional lip loading
• Easy to install with removable flange and installation tool
• Installation tool reduces sleeve distortion and allows for installation without removal from the shaft

Boot kits protect a joint in the car that would be destroyed by dirt, sand and other particles if left exposed, even under normal conditions so it’s important that they be properly maintained and in good condition. Rein Automotive provides application specific driveshaft boot kits that come guaranteed to fit the first time.

Valvoline SAE 75W-140 Full Synthetic Gear Oil provides the ultimate gear protection in hypoid rear differentials and non-synchronized manual transmissions. Engineered to outperform, our formulation provides exceptional high and low temperature protection and excellent thermal stability, especially in demanding driving situations such as towing and off-roading. It contains an extreme pressure additive for better load carrying capacity and wear resistance, a limited slip additive for optimal clutch pack performance, and an anti-foaming agent for better lubrication and service life. It’s recommended for conventional rear axles and transmissions requiring EP gear lubes under high speed, high load, high torque and high horsepower conditions.

Product Features:

• EXCEPTIONAL HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION ranging from -22F to 390F degrees
• REDUCES CHATTERING AND PROTECTS GEAR TEETH from oxidation, rust, and wear
• FIGHTS CORROSION AND RUST with emulsifying agents and safeguards against impurities, oxidation and thermal breakdown
• MEETS THE DEMANDS OF CONVENTIONAL AND LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFFERENTIALS where API GL-5 is specified, as well as non-synchronized manual transmissions that require API GL-4
• MEETS OR EXCEEDS PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS for Ford M2C-192A, GM 12346140, Chrysler MS-8985 and API GL-5

Max Gear is recommended for truck and automotive differentials, outboard motor lower units or in rear axles or manual transmissions requiring an API fluid. Max Gear is a high performance automotive gear oil designed to provide maximum protection to heavily loaded gears while increasing power throughput through the drive train. Max Gear virtually eliminates both gear and bearing wear-even under severe squeeze film conditions caused by extremely high loads, sudden shock loads or low RPMs. Slippery, synthetic molecules not only reduce wear and friction but significantly increase Max Gear’s cold weather fluidity and lubricity, making it the ideal choice for vehicles operating in cold climates. Gears run smoother, quieter, cooler and longer without overhauls. It is noncorrosive to both ferrous and nonferrous metals.

Product Features:

• Maximizes horsepower
• Extends gear and bearing life
• Reduces operating temperature
• Lower coefficient of friction
• Superior corrosion protection
• Separates rapidly from water
• For use with open, limited-slip and locking differential
• Contains limited-slip friction modifier
• Made in USA

We’ve squeezed innovation into every ounce of Valvoline FlexFill SAE 75W-140 Full Synthetic Gear Oil, the ultimate gear protection in hypoid rear differentials and non-synchronized manual transmissions. Our unique new flexible pouch makes getting into the tightest places to lubricate gears easier than ever and with less waste. The superior detergent package-based formulation contains fully synthetic basestocks and special additives that help protect parts from rust and corrosion while providing exceptional high and low temperature protection and excellent thermal stability, especially in demanding driving situations such as towing and off-roading. It contains an extreme pressure additive for better load carrying capacity, wear resistance additives that assist in protecting gear teeth, a limited slip additive for optimal clutch pack performance, and an anti-foaming agent for better lubrication and service life. Valvoline FlexFill SAE 75W-140 Full Synthetic Gear Oil is recommended for use in axle applications requiring factory-fill or drain-and-fill levels for limited slip performance.

Product Features:

• FLEXIBLE POUCH FOR EASIER USE WITH LESS WASTE in tight, hard to reach undercarriage situations
• EXCEPTIONAL HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION ranging from -30F to 300F degrees for dependable coverage year-round
• REDUCES CHATTERING AND PROTECTS GEAR TEETH from oxidation, rust, and wear
• MEETS THE DEMANDS OF CONVENTIONAL AND LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFFERENTIALS where API GL-5 is specified, as well as non-synchronized manual transmissions that require API GL-4
• MEETS OR EXCEEDS PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS for Ford M2C-192A, GM 12346140, Chrysler MS-8985 and API GL-5
