PHILSYN® MEP-EL

SYNTHETIC PAO-BASED EXTREME-PRESSURE GEAR LUBRICANT FOR GEARS & BEARINGS

PHILSYN® MEP-EL Gear Oil is a premium quality, full synthetic, extreme-pressure (EP) gear lubricant with advanced micropitting protection. PHILSYIN MEP-EL Gear Oil is specifically formulated for outstanding oxidation resistance and superior protection of the heavily loaded gears and rolling-element bearings in modern industrial gearboxes and motorized off-highway wheel-drive gearboxes found on mining haul trucks.

PHILSYN® MEP-EL

Features & Benefits

  • Outstanding protection against micropitting
  • Outstanding oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures
  • Outstanding low-temperature properties
  • High load-carrying capacity
  • Protects against scuffing and wear
  • Protects against rust and corrosion
  • Suitable for year-round use
  • Extended service intervals compared to conventional mineral oil-based gear oils

Applications

  • Motorized wheel gearboxes found on mining haul trucks
  • Enclosed industrial gear drives operating at extreme ambient temperatures, or operating continuously at higher-than-normal operating temperatures
  • Heavily loaded plain and rolling-element bearings operating at extreme temperatures
  • Applications where the equipment manufacturer recommends a gear oil with micropitting protection
