Velvet Drive Gear Oil Full-Synthetic Quart #4008244C02-1
$68.30
$81.95
Velvet Drive 4008244C02-1 Oil & Lubricants
Velvet Drive's Full Synthetic Gear Oil (part #4008244C02-1) is the factory-specified lubricant for Velvet Drive marine transmission gear sets. Packaged in a 1-quart (32 fl oz) bottle, this fluid is formulated specifically for the gear and bearing surfaces inside Velvet Drive inboard marine transmissions, where conventional gear oils simply don't hold up to the heat and load cycles of on-water use.
The full synthetic base stock delivers consistent viscosity across a broad temperature range, from cold morning starts to extended high-load operation. It provides strong film strength to protect gear teeth and bearings under the kind of sustained torque loads that inboard applications regularly produce, particularly in vessels running higher HP engines or operating in warm water conditions where fluid temps climb faster.
This gear oil is distinct from ATF-based transmission fluids. It is designed for the gear section of Velvet Drive units rather than the hydraulic clutch circuit, so using the correct fluid in the correct location matters. Refer to your transmission's service manual to confirm which fluid goes where, as some Velvet Drive models use different fluids in different cavities.
Full synthetic formulation also means better oxidation resistance and a longer service interval compared to conventional gear oils, which is a practical advantage for boats that see regular seasonal use. One quart is typically sufficient for a gear section top-off; a full drain-and-fill may require additional quantity depending on the specific transmission model.

Velvet Drive Transmission ATF Full-Synthetic Quart #4028244C01-1
$20.32
$24.25
Velvet Drive 4028244C01-1 Oil & Lubricants
Velvet Drive's ATF Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid (part #4028244C01-1) is the factory-recommended fluid for Velvet Drive marine transmissions. Sold in a 1-quart (32 fl oz) bottle, this fluid is purpose-built for the demands of inboard marine applications where heat, load, and continuous operation put real stress on transmission components.
Full synthetic formulation provides superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance compared to conventional ATF, helping maintain consistent viscosity across a wide operating temperature range. It is compatible with Velvet Drive 71C, 72C, and 5000 series transmissions commonly found on gasoline and diesel inboard engines ranging from small single-engine setups to twin-engine vessels running 300+ HP per side.
Key characteristics of this fluid include excellent anti-wear protection for clutch packs and gear sets, low foaming properties critical in marine environments, and resistance to moisture contamination. The full synthetic base stock also extends fluid service life, reducing the frequency of fluid changes compared to conventional alternatives.
Using the correct ATF specification matters. Velvet Drive transmissions are precision-engineered units, and running the wrong fluid can cause clutch slippage, overheating, and premature wear. This fluid meets the ATF requirements specified in Velvet Drive service documentation.
One quart is the standard service quantity for a fluid top-off. Full fluid changes on most Velvet Drive units require 1 to 2 quarts depending on the model and whether the cooler lines are flushed. Always verify capacity with your specific transmission's service manual.
