Bar’s Leaks Gear Repair Treatment Extends Gear Life

Bar’s Leaks has introduced Gear Repair, a treatment additive designed to extend gear system life by stopping leaks, reducing noise and improving gear performance in automotive, heavy duty, agricultural, marine and industrial gear oils.

Differential/gear oil is one of the many important lubrication fluids that vehicles use in day-to-day operation, yet most vehicle owners never service it. Over time, gear oil leaks can occur, resulting in improper lubrication and gearbox overheating. Grinding, whining, clunking or a burning smell coming from a gearbox or differential are signs that the system is starting to fail.

Bar’s Leaks Gear Repair is formulated to revitalize the gear fluid with a proprietary blend of fresh additives, the company said. The formula’s seal conditioner protects and reconditions seals, while extreme pressure anti-wear agents provide metal-to-metal wear protection to reduce noise and gear temperatures. A friction modifier helps further reduce noise and wear to improve shifting in manual transmissions and stop chatter in limited slip positraction axles. A performance additive booster includes tackifier and highly sheer-stable multigrade viscosity modifiers to help keep oil on the gears and bearings where it can better lubricate, especially at higher temperatures. And a pour point depressant ensures that Gear Repair will flow even at low temperatures.

Bar’s Leaks Gear Repair also reportedly extends system life by stopping pinion, axle and other seal leaks, reduces friction and noise, and improves gear performance. The additive also provides superior anti-wear, anti-foam and anti-corrosion protection, its maker said.

All Bar’s Leaks products are made in the U.S.A. Based in Holly, Mich., Bar’s Leaks is ISO 9001 certified.
