What is hypoid oil?

Hypoid oil is a specialized lubricant designed for use in hypoid gears, which are bevel gears with non-intersecting axes. This type of oil typically contains additives to enhance its performance under high pressure and extreme conditions, providing superior protection against wear and overheating. Hypoid oils have a high viscosity index and are formulated to reduce friction, ensuring smooth operation and longevity of gear systems in vehicles and machinery.
