"Hungry” teeth in hypoid gears lead
to unnecessary wear—and repair bills.
That’s why RPM Hypoid Lubricant is
compounded to resist the rolling*slid>
ing action of hypoid gears, which
often "wipes” off ordinary lubricants.
RPM Hypoid Lubricant resists wear
by keeping a tough lubricant-film on teeth at all tempera
tures. It’s free from abrasives, won’t harm finely finished
surfaces, and its anti-foaming agent prevents overflow into
housings, leakage onto brake linings. Ask us for booklet.
