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.
Performance Features

Semi-synthetic adds
lubricity and reduces friction.
-
Recommended for slideways,
chains and EP gear applications.
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.
