Per ISO 3448, Industrial Liquid Lubricants - ISO Viscosity Classification.

Extreme Pressure Lubricants should be used only when recommended by the
gear manufacturer.
Synthetic Gear Oil 9S to 13S are available but not yet in wide use.
Oils marked Comp are compounded with 3% to 10% fatty or synthetic fatty oils.
Viscosities of AGMA Lubricant No. 13 and above are specified at 100C as
measurement of viscosities of these heavy lubricants at 40C would not be
practical.

6.

Residual compounds - diluents type, commonly known as solvent cutbacks, are

heavy oils containing a volatile, non-flammable diluents for ease of application.
The diluents evaporate, leaving a thick film of lubricant on the gear teeth.
Viscosities listed are for the base compound without diluents.

Caution:
These lubricants may require special handling and storage procedures. Diluents
can be toxic or irritating to the skin. Do not use these lubricants without proper
ventilation.
