GEAR OIL
Introduction L-37 Wear Parameters Meets Exceeds
Petro-Canada’s TRAXON 80W-90 is a multi- (Pinion Side) Spec Spec
grade gear oil formulated to provide excellent Wear ✔
long-lasting wear protection to extend Scoring ✔
equipment life and reduce downtime and
Rippling ✔
maintenance costs.
Ridging ✔
TRAXON starts with the patented HT purity
Pitting/Spalling ✔
process to produce a 99.9% pure, crystal
clear base oil. By removing the impurities
that can hinder the performance of The L-37 (ASTM D6121) test is used by
competitive conventional oils, and blending individual OEMs, the Military, and Federal
in specialty additives, TRAXON gear oil Government, to measure five parameters that
delivers maximum performance. are the result of distress on gears. TRAXON
80W-90 meets or exceeds specs on each
wear parameter, thereby passing this stringent
Features and Benefits wear test.

The values quoted above are typical of normal production. They do not constitute a specification.
* The figure of 150,000 cP maximum Brookfield viscosity is issued in MIL-PRF-2105E and SAE J2360 to define low temperature properties. This value was
selected as the result of a series of tests in a specific rear axle design which showed that pinion bearing failure can occur at viscosities higher than 150,000 cP.
This technique defines the minimum temperature at which each viscosity grade can be safely used.
