Krytox™ Performance Lubricants in Automotive

High-Performance Lubricants: Accelerating Power and Cabin Comfort

Modern cars draw more power and performance from smaller engines, while ensuring passengers experience a quieter ride. Soon, vehicle service time will extend over years, and warranties on critical engine and structural parts will last even longer.

This places new demands on lubricants used for under-the-hood engine parts or slightly noisy, vibrating components. They must withstand higher operating temperatures and exposure to fumes and fuels, while also reducing nuanced noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) and buzz/squeak/rattle (BSR).

Krytox™ performance lubricants assist with vehicle power, cabin comfort, and longevity by offering:

High performance: Able to work in extreme environments
Durability: No caking or cracking over time
High lubricity: Small amounts required for effective use
Chemically inert: No oxidization or reaction with water, vapors, fuels, fumes
Material compatibility: No damage or discoloration to new and different materials used in cars

Lubricant Durability Is Essential for Hard-to-Reach Components

Changes in car designs mean components are now placed in hard-to-reach or sealed areas (e.g., the steering column in self-driving cars), and replacing these parts can be time-consuming and expensive for manufacturers and vehicle owners alike. Different grades of Krytox™ oils and greases help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) find options that can endure the toughest challenges.

Automotive elements and parts that benefit from Krytox™ oils and greases include:
