Common types of lubricants
Each lubricant needs to perform different functions and is blended to specifications designed to protect and enhance different systems.
Transmission/Hydraulic Fluids lubricate, protect, transfer heat and serve as a power transmission medium for hydraulic and transmission systems. Typical anti-wear (AW) hydraulic oils are designed to meet industrial hydraulic applications in indoor (temperature and humidity controlled) environments. They are not transmission fluids.
Engine Oils lubricate, cool, help clean and provide corrosion protection for engines. Typical oils are designed for use in cars and trucks.
Other lubricating products
Lubrication for special applications due to specific engineering design includes products such as: transaxle fluid, crawler brake oil, HTO additive, limited slip additive, brake rebuild additive, FBS, AG lube and steering gear lube. Each lubricant needs to perform different functions and is blended to specifications designed to protect and enhance different systems.
