Gear Oil Vs Engine Oil - High-quality gear oil must lubricate, cool and protect geared systems while carrying damaging wear debris away from contact zones and muffling the sound of gear operation. In this post, we’ll look at the differences between gear oil vs. engine oil.
Differentials, manual transmissions and industrial machinery gears often require protection under extreme temperatures and pressures to prevent wear, scuffing and other damage that results in equipment failure. Protection against oxidation, thermal degradation, rust, copper corrosion and foam is also important.
