Description
AMSOIL Semi-Synthetic WL Series is a
high-quality, heavy duty lubricant composed of synthetic base
oils, large molecule petroleum base oils and additives
specifically designed for EP applications found in gear, chain
and machine tool applications. This combination of base oils and
EP additives provides the excellent lubricity and film strength
needed to prevent scoring and wear during equipment operations.
By incorporating synthetic base oils, AMSOIL WL Oils reduce
friction for good overall performance.
Machine
Tool Slideways
AMSOIL formulated the WL Series with additives designed to
prevent the stick/slip or chatter phenomena that commonly occur
at the beginning and end of a machine tool stroke. This happens
because the lubricant and additives are squeezed out during
boundary lubrication conditions. Metal to metal contact then
occurs, also causing wear to the slideways. AMSOIL uses EP
additives that form a hard boundary layer of protection and
tackifying agents that improve the adhesion properties of the
oil. These additives prevent stick/slip and wear. Additionally,
the WL Oils are anti-rust fortified and have excellent
resistance to water washout. This is important since emulsified
cutting fluids are commonly used and components are generally
exposed to the environment.
Chain
and Gear Lubrication
The performance characteristics of the WL Series make them ideal
for chain and gear applications. These oils are
friction-reducing, compatible with seals and paints and are
resistant to water. The tackifier agents used ensure the
components have constant lubrication, allowing the EP additives
to prevent rust. The semi-synthetic nature of the WL Oils
delivers excellent performance in a wide variety of
environments.

Application Recommendation
AMSOIL WL Series Oil is recommended for use on machine tools
where mating surfaces operate under heavy loads and slow speeds.
Some applications include the plain bearing slideways of lathes,
shapers, grinders and milling machines plus the slideways of
saws and carraiges found in lumber mills. AMSOIL WL Series is
recommended for use on open or enclosed chain drives and in EP
gear box applications where tackified EP gear oils are
recommended or where they do not pose a problem.
Chain
and Gear Lubrication:
Do not use the WL Series on
yellow metal or worm gear applications operating at or above 200
°F.
