AMSOIL Semi- Synthetic
Slideway Oil
AMSOIL Semi- Synthetic Slideway Oil WLJ is a high-quality,
heavy duty lubricant composed of synthetic base oils, large
molecule petroleum base oils and additives specifically
designed for EP applications found in gear, chain and machine
tool applications. This combination of base oils and EP
additives provides the excellent lubricity and film strength
needed to prevent scoring and wear during equipment operations.
By incorporating synthetic base oils, AMSOIL WLJ reduces
friction for good overall performance.

Description
AMSOIL Semi-Synthetic WLJ is a
high-quality, heavy duty lubricant composed of synthetic base
oils, large molecule petroleum base oils and additives
specifically designed for EP applications found in gear, chain
and machine tool applications. This combination of base oils
and EP additives provides the excellent lubricity and film
strength needed to prevent scoring and wear during equipment
operations. By incorporating synthetic base oils, AMSOIL WLJ
reduces friction for good overall performance.
Machine Tool
Slideways
AMSOIL formulated WLJ with
additives designed to prevent the stick/slip or chatter
phenomena that commonly occur at the beginning and end of a
machine tool stroke. This happens because the lubricant and
additives are squeezed out during boundary lubrication
conditions. Metal to metal contact then occurs, also causing
wear to the slideways. AMSOIL uses EP additives that form a
hard boundary layer of protection and tackifying agents that
improve the adhesion properties of the oil. These additives
prevent stick/slip and wear. Additionally, WLJ is anti-rust
fortified and has excellent resistance to water washout. This
is important since emulsified cutting fluids are commonly used
and components are generally exposed to the environment.
Chain and Gear
Lubrication
The performance characteristics
of WLJ makes it ideal for chain and gear applications. WLJ is
friction-reducing, compatible with seals and paints and is
resistant to water. The tackifier agents used ensure the
components have constant lubrication, allowing the EP additives
to prevent rust. The semi-synthetic nature of WLJ delivers
excellent performance in a wide variety of environments.
Performance
Features
- Tackified for excellent adhesion and water
resistance
- Rust and corrosion inhibited
- EP additives prevent stick/slip and slideway
scoring
- Semi-synthetic adds lubricity and reduces friction
- Recommended for slideways, chains and EP gear
applications
Application
Recommendation
AMSOIL WLJ is recommended for
use on machine tools where mating surfaces operate under heavy
loads and slow speeds. Some applications include the plain
bearing slideways of lathes, shapers, grinders and milling
machines plus the slideways of saws and carraiges found in
lumber mills. AMSOIL WLJ is recommended for use on open or
enclosed chain drives and in EP gear box applications where
tackified EP gear oils are recommended or where they do not
pose a problem.
Chain and Gear Lubrication:
-
Do not use WLJ on yellow metal or worm gear
applications operating at or above 200 °F
