1. |
LONGER GEAR
LIFE - from using the finest, selected high VI paraffinic
base oils, a robust additive treatment, a special metal
adhesion additive and ALMASOL®. |
| |
2. |
REDUCED
FRICTION AND OPERATING TEMPERATURES - are achieved with
ALMASOL®. Users often observe a drop in differential
operating temperatures from 10 to 50 deg F. and more.
ALMASOL® reduces friction and can withstand contact
temperatures up to 1900 deg F. Less frictional drag also
means less energy required to operate the equipment. |
| |
3. |
NON-FOAMING IN
ACTION - because a potent antifoaming additive is used and
breaks up entrapped air bubbles, operating temperatures are
kept low. |
| |
4. |
REDUCED WEAR -
is realized because a microscopic layer of ALMASOL® creates
a film on contacting metal surfaces, thus preventing
destructive metal-to-metal contact. |
|
5. |
CLINGABILITY -
is achieved with these lubricants because of the excellent
cohesive qualities and the ability to cling tenaciously to
metal surfaces. |
|
6. |
EXTENDED DRAIN
INTERVALS - friction reduction, oxidation resistance and
cooler operation prolong effective oil life to provide
extended drain intervals. |
|
7. |
OXIDATION
RESISTANCE - is assured by the natural high oxidation
resistance of the selected paraffinic base oils coupled with
oxidation inhibitors. |
|
8. |
SEPARATES
READELY FROM WATER - to provide effective lubrication when
moisture is present. Ordinarily gear oils will emulsify and
foam, causing increased frictional heat and poor lubrication |
|
9. |
SEALS - does
not affect seals |
|
10. |
IN SERVICE -
it will not drain off quickly like ordinary oils. |

Drain oil
presently in the differential as completely as possible
while the truck is still warm. This also helps remove
contaminants and oxidized oil which can impair performance
of LE gear lubricants. If contaminated oil remains in the
differential, foaming can occur. |
|
2. |
Do not use a
volatile, chlorinated solvent or solvent-type flushing
compound to wash out the differential. Any solvent trapped
in the voids of the reservoir will cause corrosion. Also the
presence of even a very little amount of solvent-type
flushing compound will reduce the viscosity of a gear oil.
Further, without a coating of oil for even a short time,
rusting of internal parts of the differential can take
place. |
|
3. |
To properly
flush the differential, use a light viscosity turbine oil or
non-detergent engine oil (SAE 10 or 20). Jack up your truck
(no-load condition) and run in gear for 15 minutes and
drain. Note that some units can be so badly oxidized that
physical removal from the inner surfaces may be required. |
|
4. |
If new gears
are installed make sure that the new gears that come with a
rust preventative are cleaned off. This insures that any
rust preventative, debris, metal chips and core sand is
removed before installation. |
