Test Outcome:

Fail

Technical Conclusion:

In summary, Comma Gear Oil SX75W-90 GL-5 may not meet the necessary performance standards for high-load and cold-temperature applications expected of API GL-5 gear oils. These deficiencies suggest it may be unsuitable for demanding conditions commonly found in gear systems. It is most likely an API GL-4 SAE 80W-90 oil.

Technical Conclusion:

The Comma Gear Oil SX 75W-90 GL-5 fails to meet the performance standards required for API GL-5 oils:

  • Brookfield Viscosity: At -40°C, the viscosity of 154,000 cP exceeds the maximum allowable limit of 150,000 cP, which could impair cold-weather performance, leading to sluggish fluid flow.
  • Pour Point: The pour point of -30°C is inadequate for 75W-90 oils, as it should ideally be -42°C for better cold-weather reliability.
  • Weld Load: The 250 kg weld load is below the 350 kg minimum for API GL-5 oils, suggesting insufficient load-carrying capacity and reduced effectiveness under high-pressure conditions.
