Synthetic Gear lubrication
AMSOIL® has added SAE 190 and SAE 250 Severe Gear Synthetic Gear Lubes to its line of Amsoil Severe Gear Extreme Pressure Synthetic Gear Lubes.
“These lubricants are specifically engineered for high horsepower, high torque conditions where centrifugal gear lube sling-off is encountered. Their tenacious formulations cling to gears and bearings for the best possible protection during shock loading, high G-forces and where pinion gears are installed at steep angles,” said Laurie Hyland of Amsoil distributor, Enginecare Systems Australasia Pty Ltd.
“The two new gear lube viscosities were specially formulated for off-road truck racing, rock racing, rock crawling, tractor pulling, funny car racing and dragster racing applications that require heavier viscosity gear lubricants.
“They’re made from an exclusive blend of high viscosity, shear stable synthetic base oils and an extra treatment of high-performance additives. In addition, they are engineered to protect gears better than conventional gear oils, resisting acid, carbon and varnish formation and oxidative breakdown.
“They are recommended for use in hypoid gear differentials and other applications requiring a high viscosity, API GL-5 gear lube,” Laurie said.
