What does Ford friction modifier do?

Friction modifiers are deployed to prevent wear on metal surfaces. Mostly used in transmission fluids and engine oils, these additives help slow down wear and increase fuel economy.

Does synthetic gear oil have friction modifier?

AMSOIL synthetic gear lubes are limited-slip capable and do not typically require an additional friction-modifier additive. However, depending on the differential’s friction material and degree of clutch wear, chatter can still sometimes occur.

Do I need to add friction modifier?

The purpose of a lubricant is to reduce the amount of friction between two surfaces. In some cases, the base oil in the oil or grease may not have enough lubricity to perform this function sufficiently. In this instance, friction modifiers are required to smooth the transition from one speed to another.

Does synthetic gear oil need friction modifier?
