Formulated with Group II mineral base oils and selected additives, this lubricant ensures superior performance in terms of wear resistance and extreme pressure capability (EP). It is specifically designed to effectively protect even hypoid gears, preventing damage from scoring, scuffing, pitting, and abrasion thanks to its ability to avoid direct metal-to-metal contact between gear teeth.
One of the key features of Universal Gear EP LS SAE 80W-90 is the inclusion of Limited Slip additives (LS), which are essential for the proper functioning of limited-slip differentials and oil-bath brake/clutch systems. These additives modify the friction coefficient, reducing vibration and stick-slip phenomena, thus ensuring smooth, quiet, and reliable transmission even under heavy loads.
The lubricant also offers excellent thermal and oxidative stability, preventing the formation of sludge, varnish, and deposits that could compromise system efficiency. Other notable properties include anti-corrosion, anti-foam, and anti-rust capabilities, as well as high shear stability, which maintains consistent viscosity performance even after extended use.
