The requirements for automotive gear lubrication have changed over the years, yet vehicle owner awareness has not. Gear lubrication has been commonly considered elementary, but, in fact, it is a dynamic process that requires sophisticated technology. The differentials that house the gears are out of sight, out of mind. They are neglected. But differentials are just as important to the operation of a vehicle as the engine. An engine without a functioning differential will not move the vehicle. Gear lubrication needs to be taken more seriously than before. There are several forces driving the need for better gear lubrication. |
