increase by switching to PS-386.

Advanced Gear Wear Test

• PS-386 lubricant excelled in
one of the industry’s toughest
gear wear test. Oils were
tested in a rigorous gear wear
test that simulates 250,000
miles.
• The gears pictured show the
actual gears after the test. The
PS-386 lubricant (left gear
photo) shows four times less
wear than the standard
mineral oil (right gear photo).

Enhanced Copper Corrosion

Protection
• PS-386 lubricant excels in
preventing copper corrosion.
Oils were tested in an
advanced 7 day accelerated
copper corrosion test that
simulates 500,000 miles.
• The copper tubing pictured
shows actual copper tubing
from a transmission cooler.
The PS-386 lubricant (left
tubing photo) shows no
corrosion while a standard
mineral oil (right tubing photo)
shows severe copper
corrosion.
