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 motor homes.
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.
