Solution

Eurol Specialty Racing 75W-140 can be used in all described systems and offers excellent wear protection and an extreme reduction in friction. Temperatures of the hub reductions were around 180°C when using a highly advanced PAG-based gear oil and dropped to 138°C by switching from to the Racing 75W-140. A massive 42°C of friction was removed from the gearbox.

Mario Kress, CEO, MKR Technology: “Gears were as new, amount of wear was negligible, not even visible. Also the oil was in very good condition after the complete Dakar Rally.”
