Product Application
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 motorhomes.
Product 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.
For product service life in differentials, consult your
owner’s manual or the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) to establish the application, NORMAL or SEVERE.

Drain at 100,000 miles
of service or according to the owners
manual, whichever is longer |
Drain at 50,000 miles of

manual, whichever is longer |
| Heavy Duty Class 8 Line

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-110) provides superior
performance and replaces competitors’ 75W-110, 75W-
90 and 80W-90 gear oils. It delivers better viscosity protection
than SEVERE GEAR 75W-90 and better fuel
efficiency than SEVERE GEAR 75W-140.
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.
