    Noticeable Improvement
    By  JOHN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Shannon, Georgia  on  June 27, 2025
    My zero turn had 1000 hrs and one side was significantly less powerful than the other and would not back up on an incline. I had to remove the units to drain the original oil as they were not designed for oil changes. I drained them and added Amsoil and it breathed new life into both sides after only a few minutes of driving. One side is still stronger than the other but both work significantly better and I’m hoping to get several more mowing seasons out of them now. I will be using this in all future zero turns and recommending it to my friends.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Hydrostatic transmission fluid
    By  TERRY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Tennessee   on  June 11, 2025
    Replacement fluid for a John Deere lawn tractor has improved the operation and performance. This transmission runs very hot so hoping it will continue to operate during warmer summer temperatures to come. Fast shipping and good packaging.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Good quality transmission fluid
    By  GREGORY,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Newbern, TN  on  May 05, 2025

    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.

    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.
