Oil additives offer a wide range of benefits, but in some circumstances they can actually be harmful to the machines in which they are added. For example, consider worm gearboxes. These machines have gearing composed of yellow metal (typically bronze). Certain extreme-pressure (EP) additives can chemically react with these softer metals, causing premature wear and even failure. By understanding some simple chemistry and reading the product data sheets of the lubricants you put into your gearboxes, you can increase their reliability.
