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.
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.
