Solution

With Eurol Specialty Racing 75W-140 in the gearbox, during another 12h endurance race, the sump temperature did not exceed 110°C, while the outside temperature had increased to 32°C. This is a direct result of lower friction in the gearbox. Used oil analysis indicated a wear reduction of 55% over a race weekend.
