Which outcome occurs when industrial gearboxes use low-viscosity lubricants?

A)Increased wear due to boundary lubrication
B)Reduced heat transfer from gears
C)Decreased lubricant oxidation rate
D)Enhanced elastohydrodynamic film thickness

💡 Explanation

Increased wear arises because boundary lubrication occurs due to reduced oil film leading to increased contact between the gear teeth and inadequate surface protection; therefore wear increases rather than decreases in heat or oxidation.
