- Superior Viscosity Of Synthetic Gear Oil
By: Vincent Peter Platania | - The viscosity of a fluid can be defined as a measure of it's resistance to flowing and commonly known as it's thickness or stickiness. Gear oils tend to be thicker or more viscous than other oils, such as motor oil, because they need to stick to gears during their rotation and protect gear teeth from wear while engaging. If gear oils are too thin, they will not protect the faces of gear teeth from metal on metal wear. If gear oils are too thick, they will create viscous drag, energy inefficie ...

- The Superiority Of Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
By: Vincent Platania | - An automobile's automatic transmission, much like it's engine, uses a fluid or lubricant to protect it's intricate, metal parts from wearing during use. Like an engine, the automatic transmission is subject to high temperatures from the friction of these parts. These extreme conditions tend to break down the strength and viscosity of it's fluid over time. The automatic transmission also uses it's own fluid as a means of cooling where an automobile engine has a separate fluid, coolant or anti- ...
