RAVENOL USVO® Racing Gear Oil is an extremely high performance, fully synthetic, PAO (poly-alpha-olefin) based 75W-140 racing gear oil with USVO® Technology and special additives and inhibitors to ensure maximum performance and protection in the most extreme of conditions. It was developed in co-operation with Drexler Motorsport GmbH, and is approved and recommended by them.
The USVO® technology offers high performance, improved gear protection and optimized gear cleanliness for your vehicle. The unique additive package offers perfect limited slip properties, a high load carrying capacity, stable viscosity, optimum wear protection, low foaming, proper lubrication and reduces the temperature of the transmission. This dramatically reduces problems caused by foaming at high temperatures.

Application:
RAVENOL USVO Racing Gear Oil is specifically designed for use in highly stressed transmissions used at the highest levels of professional motorsport. It can be used in all applications which require this grade of oil, and is especially suited for use in differentials which have a Limited Slip capability in both racing and rallying applications. Not suitable for use in synchromesh gearboxes.
Characteristics:
RAVENOL Racing Gear Oil offers:
- A stable high-pressure lubricating oil film even at high temperatures and under high stress.
- Excellent shear stability and excellent thermal stability.
- A very good viscosity-temperature behaviour.
- An excellent aging resistance and high oxidation resistance.
- A very good wear protection, excellent EP characteristics.
- A low foaming even at high speeds.
- Good compatibility with non-ferrous metals and sealing materials.
- Good circuit behaviour at low temperatures, low pour point.
- Extended oil change intervals, thanks to excellent shear stability.
- Reduced noise transmission through low vibration even in hot oil through the oil film with good adhesion and excellent LS additive.

Ravenol has made it their mission to master the technological challenges of the future of lubricants and have therefore developed the ultimate in automotive lubrication technology......USVO®
What is USVO® technology?
Lubricant requirements for modern vehicles are becoming increasingly demanding, with unwanted changes in viscosity quickly causing serious problems. To counter this, Ravenol has developed the USVO® lubricant technology to provide a very high viscosity stability at both high and low temperatures. To achieve this only the highest quality fully synthetic base oils and additives are used. USVO® stands for Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil.
THANKS TO THE IDEAL COMBINATION OF COMPONENTS, RAVENOL HAS CREATED FORMULATIONS WITH THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
• EXCELLENT HIGH TEMPERATURE VISCOSITY (HTHS AT 150 °C)Barely any viscosity loss during operation, which means that the lubricant film is permanently maintained during operation.
• EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AT LOW TEMPERATURES (CCS AT -30 °C)The lubricant is always flows freely so that direct engine lubrication is guaranteed even for cold starts.
• VERY GOOD OXIDATION STABILITYOxidation stable lubricants have increased resistance against reacting with oxygen and temperatures. This increases the lubricant service life, which permanently prevents deposits (sludge) and maintains the lubrication properties.
• VERY LOW LOSSES DUE TO EVAPORATIONOnly a few components of the oil evaporate at the high operating temperatures. As a result, the engine oil level drops only slightly and the environment is not additionally polluted by the gases.
• HIGH VISCOSITY INDEXA high viscosity index illustrates a reduced temperature-dependent viscosity change compared to a low viscosity index.
• VERY LOW POUR POINTThe pour point is the lowest temperature above which an oil is liquid. As a result, lubrication is guaranteed, even at the lowest temperatures. Even if we never get temperatures this low in the UK, the lower the pour point, the better the quality of the lubricant.
• LESS FRICTION
A dramatic reduction in friction compared to conventional oils releases more power from your engine
| Properties of the RAVENOL-USVO® qualities
Thanks to their technical properties, RAVENOL USVO® lubricants optimise engine performance and noticeably reduce fuel consumption at the same time. This benefits the environment, as lower fuel consumption leads to reduced CO2 emissions.
CCS = Low temperature viscosity PP = Temperature of loss of fluidity MRV = Low temperature viscosity when pumping through SSI = Mechanical shear strength
