LubeMax GearLube 80W-90, API GL-5

GZ Industrial Supplies is the distributor and supplier of lubemax products in Nigeria. LubeMax GearLube 80W-90 is a multipurpose, API GL-5 automotive gear lubricant specifically designed for use in passenger car and truck axles with hypoid gear sets. It also is recommended for use in some heavy-duty manual transmissions in trucks and buses.

Our Gear Lube is formulated to provide long service life and extended gear life in automotive differentials operating under varying conditions of speed, load, temperature and torque. The
carefully balanced formulation is designed to minimize oxidative sludge and varnish formation, reduce wear, prevent scoring damage, and protect against metal fatigue and spalling damage
under shock-load conditions.

Application of LubeMax Gear Lube 80W-90, API GL-5

• Service fi ll of conventional differentials in passenger cars and trucks
• Top-off only of limited-slip differentials in passenger cars and light trucks(1)
• Service fi ll of differentials, final drives and transfer cases in some off-highway equipment
• Non-synchronized manual transmissions in trucks, buses and heavy equipment where the manufacturer specifies an API GL-5 or MT-1 gear oil.

Features and Benefits of LubeMax GearLube 80W-90, API GL-5

LubeMax GearLube are produced exclusively from premium base oils and advanced additive
technology to deliver anti-wear and extreme pressure protection in sustained, long-life applications. These oils have excellent thermal and oxidation stability allowing them to resist thickening produced by sustained, high temperature operation. Industrial EP Gear Lubricants are  non-corrosive to gear and bearing materials such as steel, copper, bronze, Babbitt, and cadmium-nickel. These oils provide superior foam resistance, water separation, temperature fluidity allowing their use in gears and bearings exposed to a wide range of climatic conditions.

LubeMax GearLube tenaciously hold a strong film of lubricant on metal surfaces. Along with foam control, this lubricant film maximizes gear protection and ensures extended service life in the most arduous applications.
LubeMax Industrial EP Gear Lubricants provide value through the following benefits:

•  Long service life — extended drain intervals can result in significant cost savings.
•  Excellent thermal and oxidation stability — premium base oil ensures outstanding product stability even in the presence of high loads and high temperatures.

• Corrosion protection — maximum corrosion protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
•  Water separation — water/oil emulsions are prevented, which minimizes corrosive damage.
•  Low foam – maintains protective lubricant film in all operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions.

1. What is gear lube?

Gear lube, also known as gear oil, is a specialised lubricant designed to provide effective lubrication and protection for gears and gearboxes in various industrial and automotive applications.

2. Why is gear lube important? 

Gear lube is important because it ensures the smooth and efficient operation of the gear systems. Without proper lubrication, the gears can experience increased friction, wear, noise, vibration, and temperature, which can lead to premature failure, reduced performance, and increased maintenance costs.

3. Can gear lube be mixed with other oils?

It's generally not advisable to mix gear lube with other oils unless they are labelled as compatible. Mixing incompatible oils can lead to poor performance and potential damage.
