How to Select Synthetic Gear Oil for Construction Equipment
Synthetic gear oils are used whenever mineral gear oils have reached their performance limit and can no longer meet the application requirements
October 4, 2016
Because of their special molecular structure, synthetic lubricating oils based on poly-alphaolefins (a type of SHC) and polyglycols ensure that tooth-related friction is considerably lower than with mineral oils. It may be up to 30% lower than if a regular mineral gear oil with EP additives was used.
