Imagine a heavy-duty truck struggling to climb a steep slope in harsh mining conditions, carrying tons of ore. The transmission system endures tremendous pressure and shock loads. With inadequate gear oil performance, this could lead to gear wear, overheating, or even failure, resulting in costly downtime. The solution for reliable operation and extended transmission system lifespan in extreme conditions may lie in Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140.
Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 is a fully synthetic heavy-duty axle lubricant specifically designed to meet demanding drain intervals and warranty requirements. Engineered for applications requiring exceptional load-carrying capacity and frequently subjected to extreme pressure and shock loads, this gear oil utilizes synthetic base stocks and advanced additive technology to deliver superior performance compared to conventional gear oils.
The exceptional performance of Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 stems from its unique formulation and advanced technology, delivering outstanding results in several key areas:
Gear oils are prone to oxidation and degradation at high temperatures, leading to viscosity changes, deposit formation, and reduced lubrication effectiveness. Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 utilizes premium synthetic base oils and antioxidant additives to effectively inhibit oxidation, maintain stable performance, extend drain intervals, and minimize deposit formation—thereby prolonging gear and bearing service life.
Under heavy loads, gears endure significant pressure and shock loads, making them susceptible to low-speed/high-torque wear and high-speed scuffing. Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 contains advanced extreme pressure additives that form durable protective films on gear surfaces, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear and scuffing while enhancing load-carrying capacity.
Gear oils can experience viscosity breakdown under high shear stress, leading to reduced oil film thickness and lubrication effectiveness. Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 maintains excellent viscosity and film strength under severe operating conditions, preventing wear and ensuring reliable lubrication.
The advanced additive package in Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 provides effective protection against rust, contamination, and corrosion, extending component service life.
The friction-reducing technology in Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 lowers the coefficient of friction, improving transmission efficiency and fuel economy while reducing operating costs.
Maintaining proper fluidity in cold environments, this gear oil ensures quick starts and effective lubrication even in extreme winter conditions, minimizing wear.
The formulation is compatible with typical automotive seals and gaskets, minimizing leaks and contamination while maintaining transmission system cleanliness and reliability.
Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 has earned numerous OEM approvals and meets or exceeds the following specifications:
It is also recommended for applications requiring:
The product meets or exceeds API GL-5 and API MT-1 service requirements.
Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 is not suitable for applications requiring API GL-4 performance or where engine oil or automatic transmission fluid is specified for automatic, manual, or semi-automatic transmissions.
Mobil Delvac 1™ Gear Oil 80W-140 represents a premium synthetic solution for heavy-duty driveline applications, delivering comprehensive protection and performance enhancement. Its advanced formulation addresses the challenges of extreme operating conditions while optimizing equipment longevity and operational efficiency. For equipment operators facing demanding environments, this gear oil provides a reliable solution to maximize uptime and minimize total cost of ownership.
