Could someone please explain how GL-5 rated oil affects gear surfaces?
I have a disagreement with someone who insists that it will cause pitting in spur or helical gears in lightly loaded applications. I believe this person is mixed up and must be thinking about possible effects on yellow metal.
But I wanted to ask just to make sure I haven't missed something or if there's a situation where GL-5 would have some deleterious effect on ferrous material, like maybe upside down on the moon or something.
