HOW DO OPERATING SPEEDS AFFECT THE VISCOSITY OF SUPER LUBE®?
In general, thick oils are best for slow operating speeds and thin oils for high-speed applications. Super Lube® is a thixotropic material. This means it will thin at the point of shear as operating speeds increase in order to maintain the most... next...
HOW DOES TEMPERATURE AFFECT THE VISCOSITY OF SUPER LUBE®?
We previously spoke about the importance of viscosity in a previous blog post. What you may not know, however, is that oil viscosity can vary wildly in some oils depending on the temperature where it is applied. Super Lube®, because it is synthetic,... next...
WHY IS VISCOSITY SO IMPORTANT TO LUBRICATING OILS?
Viscosity, or the thickness of the oil, is important because it determines the lubricant's film strength and efficiency in preventing friction between moving parts. Thick oil has a high viscosity, and thin oil has a low viscosity. If oil is... next...

HOW DOES SUPER LUBE® MULTI-PURPOSE SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT AEROSOL COMPARE TO AEROSOL LUBRICANTS LIKE WD-40?
Aerosols such as WD-40 sprays do not have anti-friction properties. Squeaks are only temporarily stopped because the spray wets the surface and then quickly evaporates. These sprays are good for releasing frozen nuts and bolts, but not for lubricating.... next...
