Gearbox oil and hydraulic oil for outboarder

The gearbox oil and hydraulic oil in the marine sector fulfill the same tasks as normal passenger cars. However, with regard to the particular conditions in the case of outboard motors, the oils have different properties. Outboard engines not only generate other forces during their commissioning, but the engines are often resting over a longer period of time. Hydraulic and transmission oils have to be balanced in additives. In addition, a wear-resistant effect is required in order to prevent premature wear during the standing times of the marine engines. Equally important in this case is the action on metal and sealing materials. The hydraulic and transmission oil should be compatible with this. If seals become porous due to the oils and lose their property, water storage occurs. This is followed by rapid wear. In view of this assumption, the above-mentioned properties are to be considered when buying transmission and hydraulic oils for outboard vehicles. The special chemical requirements are also defined by ISO or DIN standards. Refer to the manual for the applicable standards for the marine engine.



Ravenol is a trademark of Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH, located in Werther. High quality lubricants are produced in Germany and sold in the domestic as well as worldwide. After the founding in 1946 Ravenol developed and produced only single-grade engine oils and various cleaning agents. In 1964, after the company's expansion, multigrade oils of SAE classes 10W-30 and 20W-50 have been added to the product range. In the 90s, began the global orientation of the brand Ravenol and the products "Made in Germany" have been distributed internationally. The high product quality is thereby certified by 3 certifications. This is, the ISO / TS 16949 certificate, which includes DIN EN ISO 9001. The ultra-modern Laboratium of Ravenol is certified by DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025. With this high quality standard there are multiple approvals by various OEMs such as Daimler, Chrysler, VW, BMW, Porsche, MAN, Volvo, MTU, Deutz, ZF, Steyr Motors, Cummins, and many other. Furthermore the products of Ravenol are listed in NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) and API (American Petroleum Institute).

A special feature of Ravenol is the CleanSynto formulation. For this purpose, synthetic base oils are blended with premium additives of CleanSynto technology so soot and dirt deposits are reduced. The oils of Ravenol extend the oil change intervals and engine life while reducing operating costs. In addition, the company from East Westphalia has been able to land another technological coup in recent years. With the unique USVO technology the quality of some engine oils could be raised to an even higher level. USVO stands for Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil. Primarily the new technology achieves an extreme stability of the viscosity, which protects the engine even more. This is particularly interesting for high power peaks and longer operation.
