Selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity is critical in optimising performance.

Selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity is a key factor in selecting the best synthetic gear oil. In the previous article we’ve looked the benefits of selecting the correct synthetic gear oil for the application; however this would be meaningless if we didn’t explain the importance of selecting the correct synthetic gear oil viscosity.

Why you need to use the best the best synthetic gear oil in industrial gearboxes.

As the world changes consumers are beginning to understand the value of using the best synthetic gear oil. There are several reasons for using the best synthetic gear oil in your industrial transmission system.

As manufacturers continue to push the limits of machine performance to increase productivity, reduce downtime and energy costs, suppliers need to offer increasingly creative solutions. Interestingly, one of the most effective ways to achieve these performance levels is also one most frequently overlooked: proper lubrication.

Can you use synthetic motor oil in an older VW engines?

It seems as if everyone is asking: “can I use synthetic motor oil in an older VW”? The real question actually applies to any older vehicle that’s grown old on a diet of regular engine oil.

Do downsized turbo engines use more motor oil?

Whilst manufacturers strive to meet stricter emissions regulations and higher customer expectations the resultant downsized turbo engines use more motor oil. Maybe it’s not quite true to say the downsizing results in higher consumption – it’s more the higher cylinder BMEP’s and thinner ring packs that create the problem.

These are the downsides to turbocharged engines.
