A RELIABILITY THAT DEVOURS THE MILES

From the Dakar desert to European highways, the challenges change. But the standard remains the same: moving forward, without compromise. It is in this spirit that KENNOL develops its Heavy-Duty lubricants. Technologies designed to support trucks in all conditions, from extreme environments to everyday roads.

▌EXTREME CONDITIONS AS A LABORATORY

January 2025, Saudi Arabian desert. High temperatures, omnipresent dust, endless dunes…
The Dakar Rally is considered one of the most demanding mechanical challenges in the world. Every year, perfectly prepared vehicles withdraw due to the harsh conditions: overheating, mechanical failure, accelerated wear. During the 2025 edition, more than 32% of the entrants did not cross the finish line.

Yet within the Boucou Compétition team, the result speaks for itself: 100% of the trucks entered, lubricated by KENNOL, completed the rally.

This technical achievement perfectly illustrates a simple reality: in the most extreme conditions, reliability is never a matter of chance. It relies on every detail of the mechanical system. And especially on the quality of the lubricants.

The trucks of Boucou Compétition were supported by KENNOL lubricants and fluids, developed to withstand extreme temperature, load and pressure constraints.
The Dakar is not just a race.
It is a full-scale laboratory for lubrication technologies.
The solutions proven in this environment then become references for professional applications.

It is within this demanding philosophy that KENNOL develops its Heavy-Duty range, lubricants and fluids designed to support professional vehicles in the most extreme conditions.
Because true performance is measured over time.
And sometimes in the most unforgiving environments.

Since its origins, KENNOL has been developing high-performance lubricants built on experience from motorsport. This expertise now drives the development of lubricants dedicated to heavy-duty vehicles. The objective is simple: to offer transport professionals protection capable of withstanding intensive operating conditions over hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

▌FLEETS CAREFULLY PROTECTED

In a truck, the engine is far more than a simple mechanical unit. It is the heart of performance. It must deliver power, torque and endurance day after day, often under heavy loads and over long distances. KENNOL Heavy-Duty engine oils are designed to meet this requirement.

Their advanced formulation makes it possible to:
• reduce internal engine friction (fuel consumption)
• provide long-lasting protection against mechanical wear
• maintain engine cleanliness thanks to detergent additives
• ensure high thermal stability, even under heavy load

The range includes several references adapted to different generations of diesel engines:
TRUCKING 5W-30 MT
TRUCKING 5W-30 MT+ FE
TRUCKING 10W-30 MT
TRUCKING 10W-40 MT4
TRUCKING 10W-40 MT6
TRUCKING 10W-40 MT9
TRUCKING 15W-40 MT3
TRUCKING 20W-50 MV3
SAE 50 CF/SF

These oils are compatible with modern emission control technologies, including diesel particulate filters (DPF) and SCR systems, now present on the majority of heavy-duty engines.

A truck may carry several dozen tons. All this mechanical energy must be efficiently transmitted to the wheels. Gearboxes and axles operate under extreme loads. Without proper lubrication, wear can quickly compromise the reliability of the entire system. KENNOL transmission oils have been developed to meet these challenges.

Among the references in the range:
AUTOMATIC DEXRON III
AUTOMATIC+ DEXRON IIIH
TRANSMISSION SAE 10 TO4

TRUCKTRANS 75W-80
TRUCKTRANS 85W-140
EASYSHIFT 75W-90
EASYTRANS 80W-90
LS 80W-90
ULTIMA 75W-140

These lubricants provide enhanced protection against extreme pressures applied to gears and help maintain optimal mechanical efficiency.
The result: smoother, more reliable and more durable transmission performance.

Temperature is one of the main enemies of mechanical systems. To maintain engine performance over time, KENNOL also offers a range of coolants dedicated to industrial vehicles:
COOLTRUCK X-OAT –25°C
COOLTRUCK X-OAT –37°C
COOLTRUCK OAT –37°C
COOLTRUCK Si-OAT –37°C
LR UNIVERSAL-25
LR TYPE D-25

These formulations effectively protect cooling systems against corrosion, deposits and cavitation while maintaining optimal thermal regulation.
The same applies to fifth-wheel greasing, hydraulic circuits, and more.

For a transporter or fleet manager, every immobilized vehicle represents a loss of productivity. The KENNOL Heavy-Duty range has therefore been developed to meet a clear priority: operational reliability.
