PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube is
a multi-functional product designed
to surpass the requirements of
equipment and automotive
applications calling for an SAE
80W-90 viscosity grade. Formulated
with wax-free synthetic base oils
and high quality additives, AMSOIL
80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube resists
thermal breakdown. Its naturally
high viscosity index and shear
stable construction improves film
strength and viscosity retention.
AMSOIL Synthetic 80W-90 Gear Lube
prevents wear, resists heat, and
protects gears. It lasts longer in
service than conventional gear oils
and increases equipment life.
AMSOIL
Synthetic 80W-90 Gear Lube provides:
-
High Load Gear and Bearing
Protection
-
Longer Oil and Equipment Life
-
Lower Maintenance Costs
-
Compatibility With Conventional
and Synthetic Gear Lubes
-
Multi-functional for Multiple
Applications
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 80W-90 Synthetic
Gear Lube is recommended for use
under various combinations of
high-speed, shock loads, low speeds
and high torque conditions. It is
recommended for use in all light and
heavy-duty, automotive, commercial
or industrial applications requiring
SAE 80W-90 EP gear lube. AMSOIL
Synthetic 80W-90 Gear Lube replaces
all conventional 80W-90 gear oils
and exceeds the lubrication and
performance requirements of front
and rear differentials, transfer
cases, transaxles, manual
transmissions, oil lubricated wheel
bearings, and steering gear boxes
that require any of the following
specifications:
-
API GL-5 & MT-1
-
MIL-PRF-2105E
-
Dana SHAES 234 (Formerly Eaton
PS-037) for 250,000 miles
-
MACK GO-J
-
Arvin/Meritor 0-76D plus hypoid
gear oil specifications from all
domestic and foreign
manufacturers such as GM, Ford
and Daimler Chrysler.
-
Can also be used rear axles
where API Service GL-4 lubricant
is recommended.

manual or the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) to establish the
application, NORMAL or SEVERE.

|
Heavy Duty Class 8 Truck,

Follow the OEM drain
interval (miles or hours)
for synthetic oil up to
250,000 miles. Otherwise,
drain at twice the OEM
interval for conventional
oil. |
Follow the OEM drain
interval (miles or hours)
for synthetic oil.
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.
Note: AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where water
contamination occurs. Check and
service the gear oil frequently when
water contamination is possible.
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.
AMSOIL SYNTHETIC 80W-90 GEAR LUBE
is compatible with synthetic and
conventional gear oils, however
mixing oils reduces the benefits and
nullifies the extended service life
recommendations.
AMSOIL 80W-90 SYNTHETIC GEAR LUBE
is compatible with most limited
slip differentials. If limited slip
differential chatter occurs, add
AMSOIL Slip-Lock™ friction modifier
additive.

AMSOIL
has optimized gear lube performance
for specific operating conditions.
However, AMSOIL gear lubes are
multi-functional and may be used in
many different applications. This
chart conveys the best AMSOIL
recommendation based on product
design and operating environment.
First row product recommendations
offer superior performance in the
respective applications. Second row
product recommendations offer
excellent performance in the
respective applications. The third
row is exclusive to SAE 80W-90
viscosity.
AMSOIL Severe Gear® 75W-90 (SVG),
75W-110 (SVT) and 75W-140 (SVO)
synthetic gear lubes have a
performance emphasis on the extreme
pressure and high heat of today’s
vehicle differentials.
AMSOIL Long Life 75W-90 (FGR) and
80W-140 (FGO) synthetic gear lubes
have a performance emphasis on
500,000 mile extended drain
intervals associated with larger
sumps and lower operating
temperatures of over-the-road truck
differentials.
AMSOIL 75W-90 synthetic gear lubes
will outperform conventional 80W-90
gear oils in all applications and
may be used as a replacement.AMSOIL
offers 80W-90 (AGL) synthetic gear
lube for those customers requiring
this specific viscosity grade.
