AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube is a
premium blend of the finest synthetic base oils and advanced, high-performance
additives. It is formulated specifically for maximum protection
in 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 Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube helps
prevent the thinning effects of mechanical shear. It is formulated to
maintain its viscosity and superior film strength for consistent, long-lasting
wear protection. Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear
Lube 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
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear
Lube 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 turbodiesel engines.
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube
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 Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 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 superior protection
for gears and bearings in front-wheel-drive transaxles.
Excellent for Service Centers
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube
is a versatile transmission and transaxle lubricant. It reduces
inventory needs, is readily available and is cost-effective
compared to vehicle OEM-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
and 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 Synthetic Manual
Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 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).
