I am looking into different gear oils for a customer that has been having reoccuring problems with some newer parallel shaft gear reducers. I am trying to compare ASTM test results of various oils. The smaller manufacturers seem to have more complete listings of these results while the larger oil companies selectively leave out some of the test results.
Is this done on purpose? Is there some organization that independently performs these tests and publishes the results?
