AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear
Lube (MTG) is designed to meet the special requirements of certain manual
transmissions and transaxles, such as the New Venture NV4500. It is
designed to replace AMSOIL 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube (AGT) and provide
improved internal component protection. These transmissions are cast iron
and have exhaust pipes close to them, causing them to run hot. Increased
operating temperatures can harden seals and cause oil leaks. In addition
to lubricating gears, bearings and synchromesh systems, transmission oil
must keep seals soft even when temperatures increase. The premium
synthetic formulation of AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and
Transaxle Gear Lube is designed to specifically address the needs of these
hot running transmissions.
MTG is formulated with extreme pressure (EP) additives
and advanced synchromesh qualities that provide smooth shifts while
protecting gears, bearings and seals. It is not corrosive to yellow
metals, such as copper, that are used in some synchromesh systems. MTG
provides the maximum transmission and transaxle internal component
protection.
Applications
MTG is recommended for synchronized manual transmissions and transaxles
that require 75W-85, 75W-90 or 80W-90 API GL-4 gear lube. Recommended for
use in NV 4500 transmissions and replaces GM part # 12346190 and Chrysler
part # 4874459 (Chrysler specification MS-9070). MTG meets GL-4
performance specifications required by some models of Acura, Hyundai,
Infiniti, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi-Fuso and Zetor. Ideal
for muscle car transmissions, including Muncie, Borg Warner, Saginaw, Ford
Toploader, Dearborn and New Process.
