Gear Lube Information
Gear Lube is one of the ignored lubrications in most equipment used today yet
it is one of the most vital to the overall performance and longevity of the
equipment. Gear Lube is not like motor oil there are special additives
in gear lube designed to keep two moving surfaces apart reducing friction between
them, improving efficiency and reducing wear.
Differentials
are just as important to the operation of a vehicle as the engine, without a
functioning differential you will not go anywhere. Gear lubrication needs to
be taken more seriously than before if you want years of trouble free operation.
As technology increases there are more demands being placed on the gear lubes
being used requiring more sophisticated gear lubes to performing at higher standards.
Most vehicles operate under severe service as defined by automotive manufacturers,
but the majority of vehicle owners are unaware of this or simply do not pay
attention to the facts. Severe service applications include towing, hauling,
plowing, off-road use, frequent stop-and-go driving, steep-hill driving and
temperature extremes. Severe service applications are on the rise, have you
ever drove through Seattle WA in rush hour?
Look at the Diesel trucks today, they put out a huge amount of torque which
means the Extreme Pressure additives in the gear lube have to perform better
than in the past to keep metal of metal.

gear lubes by vehicle manufacturers, gear manufacturers and most high-performance
