Hughes Performance, a nationally-recognized and renowned builder of racing transmissions and torque converters, has joined the fluid game. After all, who knows what it takes to keep a transmission in top-flight condition than those who build and maintain them day in and day out? What that means is Hughes can not only provide you with the transmission you need for your drag car, the company can also provide you with Hughes Performance transmission fluid, as well.

Hughes Performance is more known for transmissions and torque converter, but now you can get your transmission’s fluid from the company, as well. The Xtreme Type F fluid is aimed at heavy-duty applications, such as our drag cars.

Hughes has been testing its new line of transmission fluids for a couple of years, and it’s now ready to launch the Hughes Performance Xtreme Series line of high-performance lubricants. The Street Strip Type F transmission fluid is a clean-sheet formula designed to deliver ideal lubricity, increased grip for the bands and clutches, significantly improved viscosity over a wide range of operating temperatures, and improved torque converter efficiency.

Hughes has historically steered its customers away from synthetic fluid. The wrong synthetic fluid has been proven to reduce transmission life so the company has recommended conventional transmission fluid. However, with Hughes’ extensive research and development time, the company has concluded the right synthetic fluid can, in fact, be ideal for its transmissions. And that’s exactly the direction that they’ve gone.

Hughes says its Street Strip Synthetic Type F fluid actually improves shift quality, provides increased durability, less converter slippage, and reduced service intervals. From heavy-duty diesel applications to drag cars producing thousands of horsepower, Hughes Performance’s Xtreme Type F is ready to do work.
