    Gear Tribology and Lubrication - Part I

    "Why so many large particles and why no filter of any type" I would say NO pressure pump to circulate oil so no filter oil which add a higher cost to install. And not needed since most cars trucks go a lifetime with original oil installed but yeah should have a filter. sealed fill for life...

    How important is proper oil for Screw Compressors?

    some large rotary commpresors use the oil to cool and seal the vanes. this puts a lot of hot air on the oil so long oxidation life is important like 10K with a PAO syn vs 2-3K hours with a mineral. So the syn will allows 3-4 time life BEFORE oil change or sludge starts to form. both work just...

    moly grease with bronze bushings?

    Bronze normally just needs a good non moly grease if using moly I would stay under 5%. Over 5% in frictionless bearing can be abrasive. That said bronze is kinda self lubricating so with or with out moly I think you are fine a nice water proof high dropping point grease is good.

    Seeking GL4 85-140 gear oil

    what does conventional 85/140 have to do with Brass in a axle? the chemistry is what counts not the vis or base oil type. If you need a GL-4 type oil look to industrial gear oils there are some multi grade but you would maybe be fine with a MP 220 oil.
