PETRONAS Gear Oils: Powering Your Progress

PETRONAS offers a range of gear oils tailored to various industrial needs, categorized by base oil type. Mineral gear oils are ideal for standard operating conditions, including PETRONAS Gear MEP, Gear FL, and Gear MEP IND Series. Synthetic gear oils include the PETRONAS Gear Syn PAO Series, which provides high wear resistance and energy efficiency, lasting up to three times longer than mineral oils; the PETRONAS Gear Syn PAG Series, known for its durability with up to five times the lifespan of mineral oils; the PETRONAS Gear Syn mPAO Series, designed for smooth operation and longevity in demanding conditions; and the PETRONAS Gear Syn Series, which offers excellent stability, sludge resistance, and extended oil change intervals. Open gear oils, such as the PETRONAS Gear Syn OG Series, are designed for heavy industrial gears, providing robust protection against scuffing and shock loads.

Synthetic gear oils, including the PETRONAS Gear Syn PAO, PAG, and mPAO Series, offer several advantages. They provide an extended service life, lasting up to five times longer than mineral oils, which leads to reduced maintenance costs. Enhanced wear protection is a key benefit, offering superior resistance against wear, micropitting, and scuffing, thus extending gear life. Additionally, synthetic oils perform well across a wide temperature range, maintaining lubrication from cold starts to high temperatures. They also contribute to energy efficiency through reduced friction and exhibit oxidation resistance that prevents sludge buildup, promoting cleaner gears and longer oil life.

Compatibility varies by product. The PETRONAS Gear Syn PAO Series is compatible with mineral oils, while the PETRONAS Gear Syn PAG Series should not be mixed with mineral or PAO-based oils. The PETRONAS Gear Syn Series is compatible with both mineral and PAO-based oils. It is advisable to consult product data sheets or PETRONAS technical support for specific compatibility guidance.
