If you’re servicing the water-cooled electric drive systems of
EVs—especially Tesla models or other pure electric vehicles—this 1L
pale yellow EVF (Electric Vehicle Fluid) motor oil (matching part
1031106-00-A) is the specialized solution to protect critical drive
components and maintain long-term performance. Unlike traditional
gasoline-engine oils, it’s engineered exclusively for water-cooled
EV motors, inverters, and gear sets, ensuring seamless
compatibility with EV-specific hardware and operating conditions.
Its core advantage lies in EV-optimized protection: Water-cooled EV drive systems operate at lower temperatures but
higher rotational speeds (vs. internal combustion engines),
requiring oil that balances low viscosity (for minimal energy loss)
and strong lubrication. This EVF oil delivers exactly that—its
tailored formula reduces friction between motor bearings and gear
teeth, cutting parasitic power loss (which supports EV range) while
forming a durable protective film to prevent wear, even during
high-load use (e.g., rapid acceleration or hill climbing).
The pale yellow hue serves two key purposes: it lets you easily
distinguish EVF oil from other fluids (e.g., thermal management
fluid or brake fluid) to avoid misfilling, and it allows quick
visual checks for contamination (darkening or cloudiness signals
the need for replacement). Additionally, the oil is formulated to
work seamlessly with water-cooled systems—resisting emulsification
(mixing with coolant, a common risk in water-cooled setups) and
containing anti-corrosion additives that shield aluminum motor
housings, copper windings, and gear surfaces from rust or
oxidation.
Durability is built for EV lifecycles: It resists thermal breakdown
and oxidation, maintaining performance for up to 60,000km (or 4
years, per typical EV maintenance schedules)—far longer than
generic oils that degrade quickly in EV drive systems. The 1L
volume is perfect for routine top-ups or partial fluid changes
(e.g., after drive system repairs), fitting most EV water-cooled
motor reservoirs without waste.
Note: Not for use in gasoline/diesel engines or air-cooled EV
motors. Do not mix with non-specialized EVF oils (they disrupt
lubrication and risk component damage). Store in a sealed container
away from moisture to preserve additives. Whether you’re performing
scheduled maintenance or restoring drive system health, this EVF
motor oil ensures your EV’s water-cooled components stay protected,
efficient, and reliable.
