German term or phrase: Friktionswert
"HpA Keramik 130G (G=Getriebe) ist auf die Anforderungen in Industrie- und Fahrzeuggetrieben abgestimmt. Verschleißschutz und Wirkungsgradoptimierung stehen hier im Vordergrund. Nicht zu verwenden in Automatikgetrieben, da für deren einwandfreie Funktion ein genau definierter Friktionswert des Öles erforderlich ist, welcher durch die Zugabe von HpA Keramik 130G weit unterschritten würde."

This is a small footnote in a brochure about windmills.

friction value
Explanation:
The literal translation seems to fit here.

http://www.nie-mehr-oelwechsel.de/html/getriebe_eines_windra... (is this your text?) leads me to believe that HpA Keramik 130G is a lubricant. Is this assumption correct?

Examples for "friction value(s)":

http://www.metalforming-inc.com/Publications/Papers/ref188/r...
"Quantitative determination of the ***friction values*** m requires a higher investment in tooling and it consumes more time for experimental data acquisition."

http://www.a-sp.org/database/viewsec.asp?sec=2
"The DBS ***friction value*** obtained with this test procedure only represents one test condition; sheet metal pulled through draw beads. The same material, lubricant, and die combination could result in a different ***friction value*** under other conditions."

Please wait for peer comments as I am not entirely sure.

friction coefficient, coefficient of friction


Explanation:
I think this would be the standard translation.

agree  Marcelo Silveyra: Yes, although the "oil" part might need some reworking, as we normally talk about oil reducing the coefficient of friction more than having one itself.

viscosity (index)


Explanation:
is the solution I'd offer; the word "Friktionswert" is IMO very ill-chosen for oil in any event - and there are only 32 google hits for it into the bargain, so maybe this is the guy who invented the word?
I certainly think "Viskosität" would have been a happier choice for the German text - and so does google, I fancy.

disagree  Yvonne Becker: Sorry to disagree, but the viscosity index is a measure for the "change of kinematic viscosity with temperature"
