Which lubricant does a hypoid final drive require?

  • A.An ordinary mineral gear oil, which is adequate because the contact between the teeth is a rolling one throughout
  • B.Engine oil
  • C.A synthetic oil of the lowest available viscosity, which reduces the churning loss and improves the fuel economy
  • D.An extreme pressure gear oil

Answer: D

The sliding along the tooth demands sulphur phosphorus additives that form a sacrificial layer on the steel surface. Without them the teeth scuff and fail rapidly. The same additives attack brass and must not be used in a synchromesh gearbox. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion.
