A heavy-duty lubricant designed specifically to handle the requirements of the internal gear and mechanisms. It is located within the differential case.
a petroleum-based derivative that is used to aid in the lubrication of gears and bearings in a fishing reel.
For automobiles, a long-life oil of relatively high viscosity for the lubrication of rear axles and some manual transmissions. In industrial applications, a high quality oil with good oxidation stability, rust protection, and resistance to foaming, for service in gear housings and enclosed chain drives.
A thick lubricant, generally with an SAE number of 80 or above, used in standard transmissions or differentials. These often contain additives, such as an EP additive, to guard against being squeezed out from between gear teeth.
A heavy oil, rated at 80 to 100 weight viscosity that is used in enclosed units containing gears. Gear oil rarely needs changing.
A heavy oil which is rated at 80 to 100 weight viscosity used in enclosed units containing gears. This oil infrequently or rarely needs changing.
Gear oil is a motor oil made specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials in automobiles, trucks, and other machinery. It is of a higher viscosity to better protect the gears and usually is associated with a strong sulfur smell. The high viscosity ensures transfer of lubricant throughout the gear train.
