Klübersynth GH 6 oils are not miscible with mineral oils or oils on a PAO basis. We recommend testing compatibility with sealing materials, paints and inspection glass.

Klübersynth GH 6 oils have an excellent friction behaviour. They reduce gear temperatures considerably and increase gear efficiency by more than 25 %. Owing to their special additives they reduce wear substantially, especially on materials that are typically used for worm gears. Oil change intervals are at least five times longer than those of mineral oils.

Klübersynth GH 6 oils are available in all common ISO viscosity grades. They are not miscible with mineral oils or oils on a PAO basis. We recommend testing compatibility with sealing materials, paints and inspection glass.
