'How much lubricant does a 2 MW wind turbine use in a year?
A typical 2 MW wind turbine uses approximately 80 gallons (about 300
liters) of lubricating oil per year for maintenance and operational
efficiency. This figure includes oil used in the gearbox, yaw and pitch
systems, braking systems, and other components requiring lubrication.'
