Synthetic lubricants are not usually recommended by gear manufacturers for general gear applications due to high cost, limited availability, and lack of knowledge of their properties. Nevertheless, they are used with good success in applications with extremely high or low temperatures, where fire protection is required, or where very high speeds or high wear rates are encountered. The user must be careful when selecting these lubricants since some of them remove paint and attack rubber seals. The new synthesized hydrocarbons (SHC) have many desirable features such as compatibility with mineral oils and excellent high and low temperature properties. They are excellent selections when EP lubricants along with high temperature operation are required.
