Benefits

GD-420 Moly Treatment for SAE 80W-90 imparts the benefits of moly into plain gear oil. Moly is a solid film lubricant with a low coefficient of friction and an affinity for steel and other metals. The moly decreases friction of the two counter-moving sliding surfaces of gear teeth by filling in microscopic pores of the metal surfaces and plating out over the surfaces, thus helping to keep the two surfaces separated during operation. Also, moly remains on the surface during stationary periods; this prevents "dry" starts (metal against metal) of the gear teeth when operations begins. GD-420 lessens metal-to-metal contact to reduce friction and wear.

Specifications

GD-420 is a proprietary blend of molybdenum compounds and other chemicals in an SAE 80W-90 weight gear oil. Particle size range of the moly is 0.1-1.0 microns (median 0.8).
