Kunlun Tianwei GL-5+ Gear Oil: Tailor-Made for Heavy Trucks Driving on Chinese Roads

In recent years the number of heavy trucks in China has kept increasing, and the problem of overloading is severe. China's complex road and vehicle conditions impose extremely strict requirements on drive axle lubricants for heavy trucks, and there is an urgent need for a higher-grade, long-life, long-mileage gear oil for extra-heavy-load vehicles. Facing this reality, Kunlun Lubricants has created products tailor-made for heavy trucks driving on Chinese roads, launching the unique upgraded GL-5+ high-grade gear oil for heavy-load and extra-heavy-load vehicles, whose super anti-wear capability keeps vehicles powerfully driven even under heavy and extra-heavy loads.
Research shows that the wear of vehicle running components increases with the vehicle's total weight and the deterioration of the roads. Especially under extra-heavy loads, if the gear oil's anti-wear performance and high-temperature oxidation resistance are inadequate, parts will wear abnormally, the oil will corrode and break down, the gear oil will smoke, and symptoms such as poor shifting, gear jamming or being forced to stop will appear, causing serious equipment damage and cost losses. Kunlun Lubricants understands consumer needs well and launched the newly formulated upgraded GL-5+ high-grade gear oil.
Compared with ordinary GL-5, Kunlun Tianwei GL-5+ is fortified with a Kunlun independently developed additive that won a National Technology Invention Award, giving it excellent extreme-pressure anti-wear performance, anti-corrosion performance and thermal oxidation performance. It can well ensure the normal operation of a vehicle's transmission system under heavy-load and extra-heavy-load conditions and provides heavy trucks with super, sustained surging power. GL-5+ is comprehensively upgraded in technology, standards and performance; under relatively harsh working conditions the recommended oil change interval is 50,000 kilometers, more than twice that of ordinary GL-5, and under normal roads and normal loads the interval can be extended to 70,000–80,000 kilometers according to actual conditions. The cost of one replacement is far less than the cost of more than two replacements with ordinary GL-5, and it can significantly extend the time between drive axle maintenance and overhauls, save vehicle owners money and increase vehicle operating efficiency.
It is reported that in 2009 Kunlun's “Gear Oil Anti-Wear Additive and Compound Preparation Technology and Industrial Application,” developed with salicylate formulation technology, won a National Technology Invention Award — the only such award in China's lubricant industry — breaking the foreign monopoly on lubricant additives and winning the favor of institutional users such as Sany Heavy Industry, Dongfeng Motor, FAW, China National Heavy Duty Truck and Foton Motor. At present, the excellent overall performance of Kunlun Tianwei GL-5+ oil has passed 100,000-kilometer road evaluation tests with FAW and Dongfeng Motor Corporation, breaking through the 50,000-kilometer oil change interval of ordinary GL-5 oil and raising the oil change interval to 100,000 kilometers, reducing environmental pollution from waste oil discharge and lowering users' maintenance costs.
Kunlun Lubricants has always based itself on leading technological advantages and continuous attention to the local market, meeting consumers' lubrication needs while continuously pursuing technological innovation and driving the upgrading of lubricant products and the ongoing development of the lubricant industry. The continuously upgraded Kunlun Tianwei GL-5+ high-grade gear oil will escort extra-heavy-load vehicles driving in China and provide lasting power.
