A car’s manual transmission, differential, transaxle, and transfer case all use gear oil as a lubricant. Read on to learn more about gear oils. 

ITR Gear oil is made up of a refined mineral base oil and additives that work well under high pressure. The ITR gear oil is perfect for manual transmissions and best suited for commercial vehicles and machinery. It is made from selected base stocks and contains special additives to provide extreme pressure and anti-rust corrosion characteristics. It is also made to reduce scuffing and scoring of gear surfaces under high speed, high torque, and shock load operation, giving you the perfect manual shifting experience.

ITR Lubricants offers high-quality gear oils that aid in better vehicle operations. ITR Lubricants is an ISO-certified company with over 50 years of experience in the production of quality gear oils made using Italian production technology. ITR Lubricants has 57 distributors that ensure you get the best gear oil as rapidly as possible.

FAQs

Since viscosity is a measure of fluid’s resistance to flow; it is one of the most important properties of lubricating oil.Viscosity is also useful for the identification of grades of oil and for following the performance of oils in service. An increase in the oil’s viscosity during use usually indicates that the oil has deteriorated to some extent; a decrease normally indicates dilution with fuel.

Gear oil can be costly depending on its workload and functionality. Some with significant roles tend to be higher in cost than those with one specific function.

Gear oil is a lubricant made specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials in automobiles, trucks, and other machinery. It is of high viscosity. GL-4 and GL-5 are the current standards for standard gearboxes. GL-4 provides lubrication for transmissions operating at lower speeds and loads. GL-5 applies to transmissions that vary in speed and torque.

A gear box is also known as a transmission. Gear boxes are simply a set of gears and their housing, which are most commonly found in automobiles. Since most car engines have high operating and idling speeds, transmissions help machinery work well and help slow down and shut down machinery. 

In general, low-speed, heavily loaded gears with a rough surface work best with lubricants that have a high viscosity. Greater viscosity results in a thicker film, greater resistance to wear, and less deformation of the gears over time. Low viscosity oils, on the other hand, are optimal for high-speed systems with a light load.

Understanding the different kinds of gear oils is important if you want to choose the right one. Each type serves a distinct purpose based on its specifications. There are three major types of gear oils that are distinctively used. 

  • Rust Preventive oils
  • Extreme pressure gear oils
  • Synthetic gear oils 

Rust Preventive Oils 

Extreme pressure gear lubricants, like ITR Gear HP5, are made to work in a wide range of temperatures and with bearings that are under a lot of stress. They have high-quality additives that make them lubricate and protect better and make sure they work perfectly.

Extreme Pressure Gear Oils 

Extreme pressure gear lubricants, such as ITR Gear HP5, are formulated to withstand varying temperatures, high-load bearings, and shock loads. They are enriched with high-quality additives that provide superior lubrication and protection and ensure flawless performance.

Synthetic Oils

Synthetic gear oils, such as ITR EP Gear Oil, are refined, purified, distilled, and broken down by chemical engineering to increase their purity. They are typically composed of ester oils or polyglycol.
