The aim of this research study is to study the effect of gear oil additive package with base oil. The formulation of this type of lubricant is based on gear oil additive package with stable base oil. The study evaluates the laboratory testing results for oils obtained from mixture of base oil and gear oil additive package and the optimization of additive package to the base oil for better performance when compared to commercially available gear oil in market. The values of the properties of the additive blended with base oil depend on the characteristic of mineral base oil and the concentration of the additive package.
