PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual
Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube
(MTG) is a premium blend of the
finest synthetic base oils and
advanced, high-performance
additives. It is formulated
specifically for maximum protection
in the most demanding manual
transmission and transaxle
applications where an extreme
pressure GL-4 gear lube is
specified, including those where
high horsepower/high torque engines
and towing or heavy loads increase
transmission stress.
AMSOIL MTG prevents the thinning
effects of mechanical shear. It
maintains its viscosity and superior
film strength for consistent,
long-lasting wear protection. MTG
excels in hot and cold temperature
extremes that exceed the limits of
conventional mineral oils. It
protects against rust, keeps seals
soft for long life, and is
compatible with brass synchros for
smooth synchromesh shift quality.
Ideal for
NV-4500 Transmissions
MTG is a thermally stable, extreme
pressure formulation that resists
heat, oxidation, acid build-up and
varnish. It is the ideal gear lube
for high temperature applications,
including the New Venture NV-4500
transmission, which retains heat due
to its cast iron housing and is
often subjected to heavy loads and
high torque from turbo-diesel
engines.
AMSOIL MTG is the replacement fluid
for GM part #12346190 and Chrysler
part #4874459 (Chrysler
specification #MS-9070).
Ideal for
Muscle Car Transmissions
The extreme pressure design of MTG
reduces friction, heat and wear. It
withstands the high horsepower and
quick shifts common to muscle cars
equipped with large displacement
engines.
Ideal for
Front Wheel Drive Transaxles
The advanced synthetic formulation
provides ultimate protection for
gears and bearings in front wheel
drive transaxles.
Excellent
for Service Centers
MTG is a versatile transmission and
transaxle lubricant. It reduces
inventory needs, is readily
available and is cost effective
compared to vehicle manufacturer
branded products.
Performance Features
•
Reduces friction, heat and wear
• Superior high temperature
stability
• Resists heat, oxidation, acid
build-up and varnish
• Lasts two times longer than
conventional petroleum oils
• Improves cold weather shifting
Applications
Recommended for synchronized manual
transmissions and transaxles that
require 75W-85, 75W-90 or 80W-90
viscosities and any of the following
performance specifications: API GL-4
and MT-1, ZF TE-ML 02B, 16A, 17A and
19A, Chrysler MS-9070, MAN 341 ML.
Recommended for use in NV 4500
transmissions, and replaces GM part
#12346190 and Chrysler part
#4874459.
Meets GL-4 performance
specifications required by some
models of Acura, Hyundai, Infiniti,
Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda,
Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki,
Toyota, Volkswagen, Hino
Mitsubishi-Fuso, and Zetor. Ideal
for muscle car transmissions such as
Muncie, Borg Warner, Saginaw, Ford
Toploader, Dearborn and New Process.
Also recommended for Gear Vendors
Gear Splitters.
Service
Life
Under normal operating conditions
AMSOIL MTG will last two times
longer than conventional petroleum
GL-4 gear oils. Where the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM)
recommends synthetic oils, follow
the OEM drain interval (such as NV
4500).
