Transmission oil TAD-17 is designed to protect the metal surfaces of parts and assemblies in automotive transmissions - manual gearboxes, drive axles, transfer boxes. Lubricating fluid prevents deformation of structural elements, increasing their wear resistance. In the post-Soviet space, no other similar product can be compared in popularity with this lubricant.
Grease Description
Transmission devices consist of many moving and rubbing parts. As with an internal combustion engine, transmission components require protection. Parts rotate at high speed, are subjected to circulation and thermal loads. Lubricant TAD-17 was developed to protect this device.
The molecular structure of the transmission fluid is built in such a way that it forms a very strong and reliable oil film on all metal surfaces. Parts are protected from negativefriction processes and excess heat is removed. Sometimes the operating temperature can reach 120 °C, so the oil has a high resistance to foaming, while maintaining a stable consistency.
Product Features
Lubricant TAD-17 stands for transmission (T), automotive (A), distillate (D). It follows that the product is used in the automotive industry, but if certain specifications are met, it can also be used in other vehicles.
The product increases the mechanical resistance of friction clutches, prevents negative manifestations of deformations. In this case, we mean the recesses that appeared in the process of oxidation of metals. Because of them, failures in the stable functioning of the transmission occur - jamming, jamming or the appearance of destructive vibration.
TAD-17 is a good thermal conductor. The heat generated during operation is taken over by the lubricating fluid and removed to the external environment to the body of the device. The product reduces the noise level of the operating apparatus. In the internal environment, it does not allow sediment to form, keeping it in a moving state.
The oil has versatile usage characteristics. It is applicable in operation from cylindrical to spiral bevel gears. Such technological modes can be used in agricultural equipment, industrial and, as already mentioned, in vehicles.
Technical data
TAD-17 fluid is characterized by all-weather use in anyclimatic conditions. The replacement interval of the lubricating component is defined as 60-80 thousand km of the vehicle run. This result is achieved thanks to the base obtained from distillates. Plus, the composition contains a package of extreme pressure additives.
Product specification:
- in terms of viscosity, the grease is similar to SAE requirements and complies with the 80W 90 marking;
- sulfate ash content - 0.3%;
- presence of sulfur - no more than 2, 3%;
- thermal stability temperature TAD-17 - 200 °С;
- critical sub-zero temperature - 25 °С.
The transmission fluid complies with the American Petroleum Institute specification, the international classification of which is determined by group GL5.
Anti-foaming capabilities are achieved by distilling fuel oil into fractions. The additives included in the composition also add multifunctionality to the oil.
Reviews
Reviews of TAD-17 oil have many positive ratings. The product has been on the automotive market in Russia and the CIS countries for more than a decade. All this time, it reliably protects transmission devices from various destructive factors, being an indispensable assistant in this service area.
Many car owners note a long interval for the functioning of the lubricant. At the same time, the product does not lose its technical characteristics for a minute.
Of the negative reviews, there are comments about working in the winter season. For normal use of this lubricant inin any device, it must be preheated, as it thickens greatly in the cold. And the process of warming up is not always achieved in simple ways.
