“An Essential Additive for Differential Gears

  in Harsh Environments”

Maintaining engine oil and transmission oil is crucial, but neglecting the differential gear can lead to significant power loss. Power losses from engine horsepower to wheel horsepower can range from 8% to 32%, depending on the vehicle manufacturer.

This variation is more influenced by the transmission's drive force and the differential's power transmission than by the engine's power.

If differential oil is not properly managed, it can weaken lubricity, cooling, and hydraulic power. This can cause gear wear, hardening of rubber seals, and an increased coefficient of friction between metals, resulting in poor driving performance, higher fuel consumption, noise, and transmission shock.

To enhance the performance of differential gears, it is vital that the gear oil minimizes the friction coefficient of the gears, prevents the agglomeration of foreign substances and oil sludge, and maintains optimal performance through oxidation stability, even at high temperatures. Differential gear oil additives are designed to meet these requirements, helping to prevent transmission and engine overload.
