WHITE PAPER :
“ A STUDY OF AUTOMOTIVE GEAR LUBES “
Fourteen of the most popular brands of gear lube were tested at an
independent laboratory in areas such as pour point, 4-ball EP weld
point, 4-ball EP load-wear index, Falex extreme pressure and many other
tests used in meeting API GL-5 performance requirements and SAE J306
viscosity requirements.
The purpose of the new Gear Oil White Paper is to inform consumers
about the increasingly severe conditions under which differentials
operate and to provide data reflecting the quality and cost differences
of many popular synthetic and petroleum gear lubes. With this
information, consumers are better prepared to make informed decisions
when purchasing gear lubricants. All performance testing was conducted
by an independent laboratory. Physical-property testing (viscosity,
viscosity index, pour point and foaming after oxidation) was conducted
in-house. Gear lube pricing was obtained from the manufacturers or
distributors.
This no-frills study is designed to help consumers make informed
decisions when selecting gear oils. There is no hype and no sales pitch
-- just facts. Never before has so much information on gear oils been
delivered in one easy to understand source.
