Comprehensive Study on Outboard Gear Oil Industry

Comprehensive Study on Outboard Gear Oil Industry

Gear oil is a lubricant specially made for gears, transfer cases and differentials in automobiles, trucks and other machines. It is highly viscous and usually contains organosulfur compounds. Some modern automatic transmissions (integrated transmission and differential) do not use heavy fuel oil at all, but instead lubricate with the lower viscosity hydraulic fluid that is available under pressure in the automatic transmission. Gear oils make up about 20% of the lubricants market.

Most gearbox and differential lubricants contain high pressure additives (EP) and anti-wear additives to deal with the sliding action of hypoid bevel gears. Typical additives include dithiocarbamate derivatives and sulfur-treated organic compounds ("sulfur-containing hydrocarbons").

Gear oil is added to the final reduction gears in a roller. EP additives containing phosphorus / sulfur compounds are corrosive to yellow metals such as copper and / or brass used in bushings and synchronizers. The gear oils of the GL-1 class contain no EP additives and are therefore used in applications that contain parts made of yellow metals.
