| Texas Refinery Corp.'s L
S ENERGY SAVER GEAR OIL is a multi-purpose gear lubricant designed
for today's advanced equipment. Field testing of L
S ENERGY SAVER GEAR OIL has shown excellent performance. |

Base Oils
L S ENERGY SAVER
GEAR OIL is formulated with paraffin base oils having a 95 VI or
better. The base oils have been put through several refining steps to remove
undesirable characteristics as well as to improve the oil's oxidation resistance
and improve the oil's response to additives. The base oils will not contribute
to the formation of sludge, varnish, and other undesirable by-products
as seen in so many gear lubricants.

Additives
L S ENERGY SAVER
GEAR OIL has incorporated in it a proven extreme pressure gear additive
package and a friction modifier system. L S ENERGY
SAVER GEAR OIL is formulated to offer enhanced lubricity and limited
slip performance. In fact the L S in the name of the product stands for
"Limited Slip."
L S ENERGY SAVER
GEAR OIL is red colored but is not to be confused with automatic
transmission fluids like DEXRON® III MERCON®
or TYPE F. It is NOT for use in automatic transmissions or torque converters.

Slip Performance
The additive system has gone through
considerable testing. For example the General Motors Limited Slip Axle
Test uses different sized rear tires to obtain a 10-15 difference in wheel
revolution per mile. The Volvo Anti-spin Axle test it similar to the General
Motors Test in that it uses two different sized rear wheels. This test
is geared up to have 50-55 differences in wheel revolution per mile. The
L-37 test has the gear oil placed in a differential and subjected to conditions
of high-speed, low torque and to low-speed, high torque operations. The
L-42 test covers a procedure where the gear oil is placed in a differential
and subjected to conditions of high speed and shock loading.

Axle Running Temperatures
In testing the additive system in the
modified Mack Power Divider Snap Test, temperatures were taken in the rear
axles. Conventional GO-G gear additive systems were used for comparison.
In this comparison the L S ENERGY SAVER GEAR OIL
additive
system showed 7°F. to 11°F. cooler operating temperatures indicating
less friction. The cooler operation temperatures also mean the life of
the oil will be longer. Each 18°F. drop in temperature will double
the life of the gear oil.

Fuel Economy
In order to see if L
S ENERGY SAVER GEAR OIL would give any fuel economy, a steady state
test was run using a loaded pick-up on a Chassis Dynamometer using the
additive package. This was done to control the many variables that generate
when trying to run economy testing. In this test, L
S ENERGY SAVER GEAR OIL showed between a 0.9% and 2.8% benefit in
fuel savings when compared to a standard 80W/90 factory fill gear oil.

GEAR OIL Wide
Variety of Uses
L S ENERGY SAVER
GEAR OIL not only is capable of handling Limited Slip differentials
in automobiles and light trucks, but it also can be used in the differentials
of heavy mobile equipment such as trucks, buses, and various on-highway
vehicles. It also gives outstanding performance in off-road heavy equipment
such as farm, construction, and mining equipment where extreme pressure
gear lubricants are needed. In addition to mobile equipment, both on the
highway and off-road, the product is capable of handling a wide variety
of industrial uses and enclosed gear cases. These applications may include
but not necessarily be limited to, the following: Power Dividers, Auxiliary
Units, Gear Heads, Speed Reducers and Gear Boxes. |
