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.

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
motorhomes.
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

| 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-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.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when
used for the intended application and according to the
recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or
on the AMSOIL website. Keep Out of
Reach of Children. Don’t pollute. Return used oil to
collection centers.
