Product
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.

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.
NOTE: Do not use WLJ on
yellow metal or worm gear
applications operating at or above
200 °F.
