Transmission oil TAD-17 is designed to protect the metal surfaces of parts and assemblies located in automotive transmissions - mechanical gearboxes, drive axles, transfer cases. Lubricating fluid prevents deformation of structural elements, increasing their wear resistance. In the post-Soviet space, no other similar product can be compared with this lubricant in popularity.
Grease description
Transmission devices consist of many moving and rubbing together parts. As in an internal combustion engine, transmission components require protection. Parts rotate at high speed, are exposed to circulation and thermal loads. For the protection of this device, a lubricant TAD-17 was developed.
The molecular structure of the transmission fluid is constructed in such a way that it forms a very strong and reliable oil film on all metal surfaces. Parts are protected from negative friction processes and excess heat is removed. Sometimes the working temperature can reach 120 ° C, so the oil has a high resistance to foaming, while maintaining the consistency of the consistency.
Product properties
The lubricant TAD-17 stands for transmission (T), automotive (A), distillate (D). It follows that the product is used in the field of auto service, but subject to certain specifications it can be used in other equipment.
The product increases the mechanical resistance of the friction clutch and prevents negative manifestations of deformations. In this case, referring to the recesses that appeared during the oxidation of metals. Because of them, failures occur in the stable operation of the transmission - jamming, jamming or the appearance of destructive vibration.
TAD-17 is a good thermal conductor. The heat generated during operation is absorbed by the lubricant and discharged into the external environment to the device body. The product reduces the noise level of a functioning apparatus. In the internal environment it does not allow sediment to form, supporting it in a moving state.
The oil has universal characteristics of use. It is applicable in operation from cylindrical to helical bevel gears. Such technological modes can be used in agricultural equipment, industrial and, as already mentioned, in vehicles.
Technical details
TAD-17 liquid is characterized by all-season application under any climatic conditions. The interval for replacing the lubricating component is defined in 60-80 thousand km of the vehicle. This result is achieved thanks to the base obtained from distillates. Plus, there is a package of extreme pressure additives in the composition.
Product Technical Parameters:
- in terms of viscosity, the grease is similar to SAE and meets the marking 80W 90;
- sulfate ash - 0.3%;
- the presence of sulfur - not more than 2.3%;
- temperature stability TAD-17 - 200 ° C;
- critical minus temperature - 25 ° .
The transmission substance is in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute specification, the international classification of which is determined by the GL5 group.
Anti-foaming capabilities are achieved by distillation of fuel oil into fractions. The additives included also add versatility to the oil.
Reviews
Reviews of oil TAD-17 have many positive ratings. The product has been on the automotive market in Russia and the CIS countries for decades. All this time he reliably protects transmission devices from various destructive factors, being an indispensable assistant in this field of service.
Many car owners report a long lubrication interval. At the same time, the product does not lose its technical characteristics for a minute.
Of the negative reviews there are comments about work in the winter season. For normal use of this grease in any device, it must be preheated, as in the cold it is very thick. And the heating process is not always achieved in simple ways.
