Formulated for the severe operating conditions of today’s pick-up trucks, SUVs, heavy equipment and other hard working vehicles.
Product Description
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubricants are premium
grade gear oils specifically engineered for maximum performance in severe duty
applications. These state-of-the-art AMSOIL formulations feature an exclusive
blend of high viscosity, shear stable synthetic base oils and an extra treatment
of high-performance additives. AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants
maintain their viscosity for long-lasting protection against metal-to-metal
contact. The proprietary AMSOIL additives form an iron-sulfide barrier coating
on gear surfaces, providing the ultimate line of defense against wear, pitting
and scoring. AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® lubricants help prevent “thermal
runaway” — a phenomenon caused by a lubricant’s inability
to control friction and increased heat under high-stress conditions. By controlling
thermal runaway, AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants inhibit rapid
lubricant degradation and component damage. Equipment runs better and lasts
longer with AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants.
Performance
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® provides performance beyond that possible with conventional
gear oil. These AMSOIL custom products offer superior gear and bearing protection,
better friction and heat reduction, increased efficiency and extended service
life.
- Superior Film Strength
- Controls Thermal Runaway
- Rust and Corrosion protection
- Reduced Operating Temperatures
- Improved Efficiency
- Longer Oil, Seal, & Equipment Life
Temperature Extremes
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® EP lubricants excel in hot and cold temperature extremes.
By design, they resist breakdown from high heat, preventing acids and carbon/varnish
formation. Their waxfree construction also improves cold flow properties, improving
fuel economy and cold weather shifting.
Applications
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants are excellent for severe applications,
such as towing, hauling, steep hill driving, commercial use, plowing, racing,
off-road use, rapid acceleration, frequent stop-and-go operation and high ambient
temperatures.
Higher horsepower, towing and hauling capabilities of modern
vehicles make turbo diesel pick-ups, SUVs, vans and delivery/utility vehicles
especially prone to severe service. Other severe duty vehicles include light,
medium and heavy-duty trucks, buses, heavy equipment, 4X4s, tow trucks, race
cars, tractors, and motorhomes.
For product service life in differentials, consult your owner’s
manual or the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to establish the application,
NORMAL or SEVERE.
| . |
NORMAL |
SEVERE |
| Cars, SUV, Light & Medium Duty Trucks |
Drain at 100,000 miles of service or according to the
owner’s manual, whichever is longer |
Drain at 50,000 miles of service or according to the
owner’s manual, whichever is longer |
| Heavy Duty Class 8 Line Haul |
Follow the OEM drain interval (miles or
hours) for synthetic oil up to 250,000 miles or 3 years, whichever
comes first. Otherwise, drain at twice the OEM interval for conventional
oil. |
| Heavy Duty Off-Road Vocational |
Follow the OEM drain interval (miles or
hours) for synthetic oil up to 120,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes
first. Otherwise, drain at twice the OEM interval for conventional
oil. |
For product service life in non-differential applications,
consult owner’s manual or the OEM for either normal or severe synthetic
oil service intervals. Where service intervals are unavailable, drain at twice
the interval for conventional oil.
Gear oils should be changed more frequently when operating
vehicles or equipment in dusty or dirty conditions unless the gear system is
properly sealed and equipped with membrane type breathers.
Note: AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where
water contamination occurs. Check and service the gear oil frequently when
water contamination is possible.
Recommended for use in differentials, manual transmissions
and other gear applications requiring any of the following specifications:
API GL-5, MT-1, MIL-PRF-2105E, Dana SHAES 234 (Formerly Eaton PS-037), Mack
GO-J, or the differential (hypoid) gear oil specifications from all domestic
and foreign manufacturers such as GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler. Can also be
used in axles where an API GL-4 lubricant is recommended.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® (75W-90) provides
superior performance and replaces competitors’ 75W-90 and 80W-90 gear
oils. It delivers the best fuel efficiency and cold temperature performance
of the SEVERE GEAR oils.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® is compatible with conventional and
synthetic gear oils. Mixing AMSOIL gear oils with other oils, however, will
shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL
does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket
oil additives, other than those specified by AMSOIL, are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL gear oils.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® is compatible with most limited slip
differentials. If limited slip differential chatter occurs, add AMSOIL
Slip-Lock™ friction modifier additive.
