ABSTRACT
Lubricants rarely get the respect they deserve until they are recognized as an integral part of a machine’s design. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) machine designers have long recognized and respected the value of choosing the correct lubricant for the job and spend considerable time in conjunction with numerous lubricant company engineers to choose a lubricant selection that will adequately perform in a given set of ambient and machine conditions, and allow the machine to function as per its design specification.
