Alef Grup Astrol Gear Oil 90
The smooth and quiet operation of a vehicle depends not only on the engine but also on the health of its transmission, differential, and drivetrain components. Since these systems are exposed to high pressure, metal-to-metal contact, and heavy loads, the durability of the lubricant used is critically important. Astrol Gear Oil 90 is a high-performance, mineral-based gear oil specifically developed for manual transmissions and differentials. With strong wear protection, high heat resistance, and a long service life, it provides drivers with dependable performance.
What Is Astrol Gear Oil 90?
Gear Oil 90 is a monograde gear oil. The “90” refers to the oil’s viscosity at high temperatures, indicating a thick, durable lubricant capable of maintaining protection even under heavy loads. Oils of this type are particularly preferred for:
-
Heavy-duty operating conditions
-
High torque transmission
-
Gearboxes and differentials carrying substantial loads
Alef Grup Astrol Gear Oil 90 is formulated to meet these demanding requirements.
Key Features of Astrol Gear Oil 90
1. Enhanced Protection with Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives
Gears within transmissions and differentials are in constant contact, increasing the risk of wear over time. Thanks to its EP additive technology, Astrol Gear Oil 90 protects metal surfaces even under heavy loads and helps prevent surface fatigue such as gear pitting.
2. High Thermal Stability
Transmission oils are exposed to elevated temperatures during prolonged operation. The oil’s strong oxidation resistance helps prevent thickening, foaming, and sludge formation. As a result:
-
Stability is maintained at higher temperatures
-
The lubrication film remains intact
-
Internal system cleanliness is supported
3. Reduced Friction Between Gears
Its viscous structure forms a durable oil film between gears, reducing friction and delivering:
-
Quieter operation
-
Less vibration
-
Reduced power loss
4. Long Service Life
Although mineral-based, its high-quality additives provide extended operational life, helping lower maintenance costs.
5. Effective Protection Against Corrosion and Rust
Metal surfaces may deteriorate when exposed to moisture and chemical residues. Astrol Gear Oil 90 contains anti-corrosion additives that:
-
Help prevent rust
-
Protect metal surfaces from chemical damage
Recommended Applications
Due to its high viscosity, Astrol Gear Oil 90 is particularly suitable for:
Manual Transmissions
