New engine design changes and ever‐increasing engine requirements make the design of gear oils challenging. A proper understanding of fundamental lubrication theory and formulation knowledge is necessary to develop new gear oils. This paper provides an overview of the fundamentals of lubrication theory and the functions of each additive. Key technical issues facing gear oils are also discussed.
