What Does It Do?

This hypoid gear oil lubricates gears, bearings and moving components within compatible transmissions and axle drives, protecting against friction, wear and high mechanical loads.

Why Does Gear Oil Deteriorate?

Common causes include:

• High operating temperatures
• Heavy mechanical loading
• Contamination from component wear
• Moisture ingress Extended service intervals

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace according to the manufacturer's recommended service schedule or if the oil becomes contaminated or degraded.

Unusual differential noise or excessive metallic particles in drained oil should also be investigated.
