Transmission lubricants introduced Phillips 66 has added Triton Synthetic MTF and Kendall SHP Synthetic MTF to its commercial heavy-duty synthetic manual transmission lubricants lineup. The fuel-effi cient fl uids offer a lower viscosity profi le and are approved under the Eaton PS-386 specifi cation for extended drains — up to 500,000 miles in line-haul service, the company says. Both are formulated for added shear stability and anti-wear properties to help protect synchro- nizers, reduce component wear and gear micro-pitting and promote longer transmission life. OE private label brand grows Alliance Truck Parts has added grilles to its crash parts product line, becoming the fi rst OE private label brand to offer an all-makes grilles program. The grilles are manufactured with chromed compos- ite and are designed for most all makes and all models of heavy-duty trucks, including options for Freightliner, Inter- national, Mack and Volvo. Extended wheel end warranty Meritor has introduced its Meritor Aftermarket Wheel End Ex- tended Warranty, which the company says will offer increased coverage to customers that purchase and install Meritor wheel- end products together. Meritor says two extended-coverage options are available. The fi rst option offers coverage for three years or 300,000 miles when the customer purchases and installs Meritor hub- caps and Premium Meritor Wheel Seals as well as Temper-Loc spindle nuts. For even greater coverage, customers receive a fi ve-year, unlimited-mile warranty when purchasing and in- stalling the same three wheel-end products along with Meritor PlatinumShield II-coated brake shoes. LED stop/turn/tail lamps Optronics International announces another expansion of its GloLight product line with the introduction of its new STL112 6-in. oval and STL113 4-in. round LED stop, tail, turn lamps and its E-rated STL175 oval mid-ship turn and intermediate marker lamp. The new stop, tail, turn lamps have been de- signed with distinctive mirrored refl ectors that give the core of the lamps a visual snap while optimizing their light output, the company says. The mid-ship lamp is SAE E-compliant and meets all California requirements for mid-ship turn signals on vehicles measuring 30 ft. or longer, Optronics says.
