ZF PowerFluid Gear LS — axle protection with limited-slip control
ZF PowerFluid Gear LS is designed for driveline systems where gear protection and controlled limited-slip behavior must work together. In demanding axle and final-drive applications, it helps reduce wear, protect loaded contact surfaces and maintain the friction behavior required for stable traction and durable operation.

Compactor, Motor Grader, Grader Axle Wheel Head, MT-C 3035, MT-C 3065, MT-C 3075
Specialized high-drain transmission fluid with integrated limited-slip performance enhancements matching class 16E/19 series layout requirements under approval registration ZF008414. Approval code ZF008414.
Why Choose Original ZF PowerFluid Gear LS
ZF PowerFluid Gear LS combines axle protection with limited-slip behavior, helping the driveline transmit torque without chatter, excessive slip or premature wear.
- It is made for applications where friction control is part of the axle’s function, not an optional extra.
- The correct LS chemistry protects gears and bearings while supporting the controlled friction behavior required by limited-slip systems.
- For machines working under traction demand, the right fluid keeps torque delivery more predictable.

FAQ
Why choose original ZF PowerFluid Gear LS?
Because limited-slip systems require a specific friction behavior. A normal gear oil may protect gears but fail to control slip correctly.
What happens if non-LS oil is used?
It can cause chatter, poor torque transfer, excessive slip or accelerated wear depending on the axle design and operating conditions.
Can LS additives be added separately?
Aftermarket modifiers can make oil behavior unpredictable. The safest approach is using the correct approved LS fluid from the start.
What to Send for Fast Compatibility Check
- Photo of the ZF axle / drive nameplate or exact unit model.
- Vehicle or machine model and the exact application family.
- Mileage or operating hours, ambient conditions and duty profile.
- Previous oil type and recent service history if known.
