• 80% of Glenview Iron & Metal Ltd.’s equipment uses hydraulics; before switching to Petro-Canada’s HYDREX AW 46, they were having serious issues. As well, ”70% of our fleet was down with wheel bearing problems,” says Vandine. “I knew I had to change my gear oil; it just wasn’t doing the job … the resulting repair costs and downtime were unacceptable.”
• Vandine decided to make the switch to Petro-Canada’s HYDREX AW 46 – a premium performance, anti-wear hydraulic fluid. When Vandine switched his entire line of lubricants exclusively to Petro-Canada, he found TRAXON 80W-90 – a multigrade gear oil formulated to provide excellent long-lasting wear protection.
• “Since switching to HYDREX AW 46 and paying close attention to our hydraulic system, our hydraulic-related repairs and expenses have decreased quite significantly. Now it’s just preventative maintenance instead of downtime repairs.” “Since making the switch to TRAXON 80W-90 I haven’t had one wheel bearing problem.” Glenview Iron & Metal Ltd. now uses TRAXON 80W-90 on all equipment that requires gear oil.
