Retaining Lasting Power: Kunlun Gear Oil Helps Heavy Trucks Stay in Top Shape in Winter

As temperatures continue to drop, many vehicles, especially heavy trucks operating under overload, experience discomfort and declining stamina just like people do. To keep a heavy truck's lasting, super-strong power going through the winter, maintenance of its key components is indispensable. The newly launched Tianhong new-formulation gear oil, thanks to its excellent oxidation resistance and extreme pressure anti-wear performance, can create good lubrication conditions for key power transmission components. It not only brings lasting, super-strong power to heavy trucks but also once again embodies Kunlun's value of care. Resisting the cold winter and safeguarding super-strong power. After a year of overload operation, many heavy trucks are already overburdened by winter. If gear oil degradation in the transmission mechanism and oil film detachment caused by falling temperatures are added on top, the truck's power will face a severe test. That is why, every winter, many experts advise heavy truck drivers to change to a suitable gear oil to maintain the truck and keep its power from dropping. Because they add a unique salicylate, the Tianhong new-formulation GL-5 and GL-5+ gear oil series offer excellent high-temperature stability, outstanding extreme pressure anti-wear and anti-corrosion performance, suitable viscosity, rust and corrosion protection, and shear resistance, making them particularly suited to the gear lubrication of heavy and extra-heavy trucks on long-haul trips and harsh roads. The Tianhong new-formulation GL-5 and GL-5+ gear oils can, in the shortest time, increase the torque transmitted from the drive shaft or transmission through the final drive gears, change the direction of the torque and distribute the power reasonably to the left and right drive wheels. By splashing oil onto the gears, shafts and bearings as the driven gears rotate, they ensure reliable lubrication of the tapered roller bearing at the front end of the drive gear shaft and, under centrifugal force, provide cooling and rust protection, ensuring the proper operation of the transmission equipment and preventing the truck's power from dropping because of the cold winter climate. In addition, the good low-temperature fluidity of the Tianhong new-formulation GL-5 and GL-5+ gear oil series helps heavy trucks fully lubricate their gears during cold starts, minimizes the friction coefficient and protects transmission components from damage. They are especially suited to the cold climate of northern winters and are the first choice for heavy truck gear oil in winter. Coping with complex road conditions and providing lasting power. In winter, snow and ice make road conditions more complex. As a core component ensuring a vehicle's power and handling, the drive axle constantly faces the harshest working environment, often under overload, causing component wear and undermining the vehicle's power performance. At present, although GL-5 lubricant on the market aims to reduce wear and ensure the normal operation of the gears in each part of the drive axle, it cannot fully meet current vehicle requirements for extreme pressure anti-wear, anti-corrosion and thermal oxidation stability. The Tianhong new-formulation gear oil is precisely the insight into and fulfillment of this task. Tianhong gear oil GL-5 and its upgraded product GL-5+, adding additives with independent intellectual property rights, not only achieve a higher viscosity index but also greatly improve extreme pressure anti-wear performance, anti-corrosion performance and thermal oxidation performance, ensuring the proper operation of vehicle drivetrains under heavy and extra-heavy load conditions and providing heavy trucks with super-strong, sustained surging power. It is reported that, because of its excellent application performance, Kunlun's new additive formulation technology has obtained 7 national patents and a 2009 second prize of the National Technology Invention Award, the only National Technology Invention Award in China's lubricant industry so far. It was also selected as the dedicated oil product for the machinery and equipment of the grand military parade marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, playing a special mission among the reviewed machinery. In addition to outstanding performance, the Tianhong new-formulation gear oil also has a strong advantage in use cost, saving heavy truck owners a great deal in maintenance costs through a longer oil drain interval, making it a product with the best cost-performance ratio. Relevant road tests prove that using Kunlun Tianhong GL-5+ heavy-duty rear axle gear oil passed Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle's 100,000-kilometer road test without an oil change. Using Kunlun Tianhong GL-5+ heavy-duty rear axle gear oil, road tests of more than 100,000 kilometers at maximum were conducted on four CA1281P2K2L3T1 type 6x4 cab-over diesel trucks of FAW Group. The launch of the new Tianhong series products not only greatly expanded Kunlun's product line and provided domestic consumers with more suitable lubricant products, but also marked another step by Kunlun toward becoming a high-end brand.
