The chemical and physical properties of gear oils in use maychange more or less depending on its formulation and the operatingconditions. For this reason a gear oil was investigated after threeyears of use in a wind turbine to find out if changes are evidentand if the protection of the gears and rolling bearings still meetthe requirements as with fresh oil. Beside chemical and physicalanalyses, the used gear oil was examined on a FZG back-to-back geartest rig and on a FE8 test rig. The test results could show thatthe used gear oil as well as its ability to protect the gears androlling bearings has changed very little compared to fresh oil.
