| This
product was specially formulated to meet the stringent
requirements for Spicer and Fuller transmissions. Both
manufacturers require a high quality lubricant which
must perform several functions without coking or
sludging up the unit. The transmission is where the
horsepower goes to work. The correct transmission is
extremely important in the efficient operation of
trucks, tractors, and industrial machinery subjected to
varying conditions of road and load. This is why so many
equipment owners prefer Spicer and Fuller transmissions
--- the leaders of the heavy-duty transmission industry.
For lubrication Texas Refinery Corp. is the leader of
the heavy-duty transmission lubricant industry. |
Starts
With Quality Base Oils
Texas
Refinery Corp.'s starting point for this product is the crude
oil. It has to be of low sulphur or sweet type paraffin-based
mid-continent quality. Then the base oils are put through a
solvent extraction process which removes undesirable
characteristics that might lead to sludge, gum, or varnish under
heat. The oils then go through another step called
hydro-treating which improves the oxidation characteristics of
the oil and improves the oil's response to the high quality
additives used by Texas Refinery Corp. The oils also go through
a dewaxing process to make them suitable for cold temperatures.
The finest paraffin-base stocks with a 95 viscosity index are
used because they are less susceptible to attack from oxygen and
various acids. They allow for greater thermal oxidation
stability and can be used over a wide temperature range.
Contains
Anti-Wear Additives
999 S &
F GEAR OIL contains anti-wear
additives which provide a protective film on all moving parts.
In operation, transmissions have many heavily-loaded parts such
as gear teeth and bearings. A protective film must be provided
to prevent metal-to-metal contact between these parts and
therefore prevent scoring, scuffing, and seizure. If the
protection is not provided, expensive repair and downtime are
the end results.
Acts As A
Coolant
Transmissions generate heat when in operation --- especially
under heavily-loaded conditions. Heat must be kept minimal for
proper operation. 999 S & F GEAR
OIL acts as a coolant to dissipate
heat so maximum efficiency may be maintained. It is formulated
to remain stable under extreme conditions.
Resists
Oxidation
999 S &
F GEAR OIL resists oxidation two
ways. First, only the highest quality base stocks are used.
Second, oxidation inhibitors are added to provide greater
stability at elevated temperatures and prevent corrosion and
sludge from forming. No foreign materials such as sediment or
water are present.
Resists
Foaming
Many
transmission lubricants on the market may begin to foam during
operation, causing extensive problems. If foam is present, the
level of gear oil drops and proper lubrication is not achieved.
Remember, foam is mostly air; therefore, if foam is excessive,
the oil film is lost resulting in metal-to-metal contact and
wear. The metal-to-metal contact also increases heat and the
foam helps trap the heat. This causes much higher than normal
operating temperatures. The higher operating temperature helps
to oxidize the lubricant which can lead to sludge and gum
deposits. Fortunately, all this can be avoided by using
999 S & F GEAR OIL
because it contains excellent foam
inhibitors to resist this serious problem.
Provides
Proper Viscosity
999 S &
F GEAR OIL was formulated to
provide the proper viscosity. It is an SAE 90 gear oil equal to
the SAE 50 motor oil classification. Proper viscosity is
required for film strength and proper flow to the various
transmission components. |
