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 80W-90 Synthetic
Gear Lube prevents wear, resists heat, and protects
gears. It lasts longer in service than conventional
gear oils and increases equipment life.
AMSOIL 80W-90 Synthetic 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 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 80W-90 Synthetic 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, s
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.

For product service
life in differentials, consult your owners
manual or the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) to establish the application, NORMAL
or SEVERE.
| . | Normal Service | Severe Service |
| Cars, SUVs, Light Trucks | Drain at 100,000 miles
of service or according to the owners
manual, whichever is longer | Drain at 50,000 miles of
service or according to the owners
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 three years,
whichever comes first. |
| Vocational/Delivery | Follow the
OEM drain interval (miles or hours) for
synthetic oil up to 120,000 miles or three years,
whichever comes first. |
| Heavy Duty Off-Road | Follow the
OEM drain interval (miles or hours) for
synthetic oil up to 100,000 miles or two years,
whichever comes first. |
For product service
life in non-differential applications, consult
owners 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
80W-90 SYNTHETIC 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. |
