Neal,
Many industrial lubricants meet the requirements for an AGMA (American
Gear Manufactures Assoc.) Non-EP gear oil. I have sold LUBRICANTS USA
products for many years and have been impressed with their quality and
performance. http://www.finalube.com
The product you are looking for is called EOLAN R&O. EOLAN R&O is a premium
quality rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibited petroleum mineral oil series
meeting AGMA Non-EP gear oil requirements. Viscosity-wise, Eolan R&O, ISO
220 is an AGMA 5 gear oil where as GL-5 (a quality standard) SAE 90 (80W-90)
automotive gear oil is classified as an AGMA 5 EP. in other words, Eolan
R&O is a gear oil, but it does not have extreme pressure additives.

CAVEAT EMPTOR:
Neal, I really don't recommend using a non-EP gear oil in any Right-Angle
Worm Drive. The pressures encountered at the contact points are enormous --
exactly the place that an EXTREME PRESSURE gear oil is designed for...
Sorry, but I question Dave's advice to avoid EP gear oil. Does He say Why
it turns to goo ????
Please call me if you need more info---

Subject: [MV] M35A2 winch gear oil
In Military Vehicles Magazine issue # 78, Dave Anderson's excellent article
on lubrication cautioned very strongly against using extreme pressure (EP)
gear oil in the worm drive front winch; says it will turn to goo and ruin
the gears. I'm using Valvoline Durablend 80W-90 everywhere else in the
truck, but it is EP. Valvoline says they don't even MAKE a non-EP gear oil!
What should I use in the winch?
