INTO YOUR AXLES!
OWD-HH-5164909-TS-319Eaton has been supplying key drivetrain
components to the truck industry for over 100
years all over the globe and knows a thing or two
about transmissions and axles. So, in promoting
component reliability and longevity, proper
lubrication is the key to a sound and effective
maintenance program. Without effective lubricants
at proper levels and temperatures, the remaining
maintenance procedures will not keep components
functional.
Synthetic lubricants have been proven to
be superior to petroleum mineral products.
Eaton’s genuine synthetic transmission and axle
lubricants are tested tough to provide superior
protection at high and low temperatures and
improve fuel economy. Engineered to promote
superior maintenance and bottom line operating
performance allowing you to protect the
investment you’ve made in your driveline.
To ensure component service life and reliability, it
is also critical to perform daily pre-trip inspection
of drivetrain components for lubricant leaks. Leaks
should be brought to the attention of maintenance
and immediate corrective action should be taken.
Without the correct levels of synthetic lubricants
in your components – it will not be able to protect
your driveline.
Synthetic lubricants also allow extended drain
intervals compared to mineral. They offer superior
thermal and oxidative stability for extended
product performance and reliability. The superior
performance characteristics of these lubricants
enable component manufacturers to offer extendeddrain intervals and extended warranties. Thus,
reducing downtime and oil replacement intervals.
However, it is important to use the lubricants
that are approved for the current specifications set
forth by each component manufacturer. Approved
lubricants must meet rigorous test criteria set
by the component manufacturer to ensure
performance and long life. Approved lubricants
are designed to work with the specific component.
When improper or unapproved lubricant is used,
several problems can occur. Always look for the
appropriate approval code on the container and
verify against Eaton’s or other manufacturers
lubricant requirement manuals.Benefits of using approved lubricants:
- Oil formulation is tested per component
manufacturer’s specifications - Reduced wear on components such as gears and
bearings - Longer life by reducing operating temperatures
- Prevention of corrosion, especially when copper
coolers are used - Excellent cold temperature performance
- Maintain extended warranty coverage
Risks from not using approved lubricants are:
- Shortenedbearinglife
- Seal leakage
- Reduced fuel economy
- Shortened copper cooler life
- Loss of warranty coverage
