    Good quality transmission fluid
    By  GREGORY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Newbern, TN  on  May 05, 2025
    When I fixed the transmission leak of my mower with an inboard kit, I decided to use quality transmission fluid. It is cheaper to use good quality transmission fluid than to replace the transmission.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    First time
    By  ANTHONY,  a  Verified Buyer  on  April 17, 2025
    I'm using this as a top-off for my zero turn mower. I've added just a little more than 6oz.. With probably 4oz. used to fill the expansion reservoir to the cold fill mark. That said, I've mowed for about 2 hours, and yes I have noticed a difference, particularly in the sound, as the oil circulated the usual whine of the hydrostatic pumps quieted some. I'm not attributing this to low oil level, and by adding oil it got better, as stated above, I added it to the expansion reservoir.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Great gear oil
    By  CHARLES,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Afton, TN  on  March 19, 2025
    Switched to Amsoil gear oil for my Exmark Mowers hydrostatic transmission this year. My hydros have always had a slight whine to them. Amsoil gear oil has made the whine go away. They are now the quietest they have ever been.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Hydrostatic drive
    By  RAY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Virginia  on  November 23, 2024
    Had a problem with customers hydraulic mower. Found excessive water/moisture in drive motors on a hunch I thought what about an oil change in non-serviceable drives. Called AMS oil techs and asked if SAE 10-50 could replace SAE 10. Well a mix was added. Still is working fine for a complete season.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Great hydrostatic fluid
    By  MG,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Pennsylvania   on  October 24, 2024
    I use this in Gravely and Toro zero turn pumps and transmissions and it's truly phenomenal. Lever controls are very responsive in fwd and rev compared to Mobil1 15W40 or other equivalent oil specified to be used in hydrostatic equipment. Also the pumps and transmissions have significantly less noise throughout operation. Even in >90°F temperatures.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
