Customer Benefits

Reduced maintenance costs

pecial dispersant in the “clean gear” technology additive package suspends sludges and carbonaceous deposits in the gear oil, preventing their deposition on gear components and oil seals, thus avoiding the need for premature overhaul due to deposit-induced seal wear or leakage. Outstanding thermal stability minimizes the total amount of deposits that the dispersant has to deal with.

Extended gear equipment life

High performance, sulfur-phosphorus EP additive system provides excellent load carrying capacity to protect gear equipment against surface distress (i.e., spalling, pitting, scoring and wear) under heavily loaded conditions. The special inhibitor system resists corrosion of copper alloys and ferrous metals.

Prolonged oil service life

Highly refined base oil and special inhibitor system provides excellent oxidation stability to resist oil degradation and thickening during long periods of severe high temperature operation.

Features

High performance, multipurpose, thermally stable, EP automotive gear lubricant formulated with “clean gear” technology for applications where API GL-5 and/or API MT-1 performance is required.

Applications

  • Automotive hypoid gear differentials operating under high speed and/or low speed, high torque conditions where API GL-5 performance gear oils are required or permitted.
  • Heavy-duty, non-synchronized manual transmissions where API MT-1 performance gear oils are specified.
  • Automotive steering gears where API GL-5 performance gear oils are permitted. Not recommended for manual transmissions other than as mentioned above except where the manufacturer explicitly allows the use of API GL-5 performance oils.

Always confirm that the product selected is consistent with the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendation for the equipment operating conditions and customer’s maintenance practices.
