Critical Advice for Filling Gearboxes
|

|
Underfilling a gearbox sump obviously can result in a lack of lubrication, but overfilling may be equally destructive. It can cause the oil to overheat, foam and air entrainment to be produced, and the fluid to overflow. Eventually higher temperatures and increased exposure to air can cause the oil to oxidize, which leads to sludge, varnish and corrosive byproducts.

There's a reason your oil container has an expiration date. Particles and dirt compromise an oil's benefits, but so does age. Additives separate within oil, viscosity changes, etc. Learn the facts in Oil Analysis II.

Nitration is an undesirable condition that indicates the oil is becoming saturated with soluble or insoluble nitrogen-oxide compounds. In order to identify the source of this type of oil degradation, you must understand several factors that affect the nitration rate.
