Inside wagner® oe^x and wagner oe^x car brake pads

Product Spotlight

Meet Wagner^® OE^X and Wagner^® OE^X Car, premium brake pads for trucks, SUVs and CUVs and cars. With a design that’s customized based on the demands of the vehicle, both Wagner OE^X and Wagner OE^X Car brake pads deliver optimal life and premium level braking performance. Read on to learn what makes the OE^X line of brake pads unique.

Proprietary Zero-Copper Formulation

With the implementation of tougher federal low-copper standards for brake pads, Wagner needed an innovative solution that didn’t compromise the effectiveness of the pad. Wagner engineers went to work and developed a proprietary friction formulation for OE^X brake pads that meets the zero-copper standard that goes into effect in 2025 while delivering premium braking performance.

The Right Design

Each car, truck, SUV & CUV model has unique braking demands. The Wagner OE^X family of brake pads deliver customized braking performance with application-specific designs to ensure that each brake pad is matched to the braking needs of the vehicle.

• Wagner OE^X brake pads specifically designed for trucks, SUVs and CUVs, feature an innovative, patented shape and slot design that is customized for different vehicle types and weight. Wagner engineers discovered that adding waves and troughs to the surface created turbulent airflow for improved heat dissipation resulting in a cooler pad, improved stopping power and longer life The asymmetrical pad shape ensures optimal NVH and quieter operation.
• Wagner OE^X Car brake pads, specifically designed for passenger cars, feature a slot design that is customized for different vehicle types and weight. The design optimizes debris escape opportunities for longer life.

In addition, OE^X and OE^X Car brake pads feature enhanced corrosion resistance with galvanized steel plates and quiet operation with a multi-layer shim.
