PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th
Wheel and Open Gear Compound (GFW) is based
on proprietary technology resulting in
a lubricant that does not use asphaltic materials,
residual compounded oils or diluent solvents
as part of the lubricant formulation.* Typical
gear compounds are composed of asphaltic and
residual oils cut with solvent to ease application
and use. Synthetic GFW does not require solvents
to assist the product in application and use,
even in cold weather.
*Aerosol spray
contains a solvent that evaporates quickly leaving
a solvent-free film of material on treated surfaces.
WIDE OPERATING
TEMPERATURE RANGE
AMSOIL 5th Wheel Grease performs well in cold temperatures and resists dripping off at high temperatures, reducing the need for frequent rlubrication.
ADHESION
TO METAL
AMSOIL 5th Wheel Grease provides excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
in cold and hot temperatures. Tackiness allows it to stay in place in high-speed applications, even when applied to open gears or chains. Spray formulation offers quick and easy application.
WATER WASHOUT RESISTANT
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Compound is formulated to repel water, protect metal parts from rust corrosion and stay in place to protect gears from wear.
HANDLES HEAVY LOADS
AMSOIL 5th Wheel Grease provides a tough grease film to handle heavy loads and help prevent metal parts from contacting.
PERFORMANCE
FEATURES

and does not flake off
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound may be applied
to fifth-wheels, open gears, chains,
flexible couplings, sliding surfaces of drag
lines and shovels, construction equipment, dredging
equipment or any application where a heavy,
tenacious lubricant is required.
Performance Data
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound meets the AGMA
14R and NLGI #1.5 performance specifications.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is fully compatible
with other fifth-wheel and open gear compounds and may be applied to surfaces
previously treated with other fifth-wheel and open gear compounds.
Product Availability
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is available in
11.5 oz. aerosol spray cans.
