PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube is an extreme pressure lubricant
engineered specifically to meet the high temperature/high load demands
of today's geared equipment. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube,
unlike conventional lubricants, doesn't break down in extreme heat
and form damaging deposits, varnish and sludge. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90
Synthetic Gear Lube maintains its protective capability even in thermally
stressed conditions, preventing the ridging, rippling and spalling
caused by surface distress. In addition, the superior lubricity of
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube improves fuel economy and provides
limited slip capability.
Resists
Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube resists the damaging effects
of heat and oxidation at temperatures much higher than conventional
gear lubes can resist. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube inhibits
the formation of acids and will not thicken or develop sludge, even
under severe operating temperatures such as those encountered in heavy
hauling and fleet operation.
Reduces
Friction
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube has an extremely low coefficient
of friction due to its synthetic construction. With reduced friction,
excessive operating temperatures in transmissions and differentials
are reduced by 20°F to 50°F. By controlling friction, AMSOIL
SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube reduces component wear, resists thermal
degradation and improves fuel economy up to five percent.
Provides
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube remains fluid at extremely low
temperatures to provide instant lubrication to components during start-up.
In low temperatures, conventional gear lubricants thicken to make
shifting difficult. At temperatures of 0°F (-18°C), it can
take as long as 18 minutes for gear lube to flow and lubricate the
front pinion bearing of a differential. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic
Gear Lube only takes 45 seconds to 2 minutes. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic
Gear Lube resists low temperature thickening to provide superior component
protection, smoother shifting and increased fuel economy.
Protects
Against Rust and Corrosion
Moisture penetration can cause the rusting of gears and bearings.
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube coats components with a durable,
protective film to prevent the formation of harmful rust or corrosion.
High
Load Carrying Capacity
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube has excellent load carrying
capability to protect gear surfaces in high load and speed conditions.
It maintains its viscosity when exposed to the extreme shearing forces
of hypoid differentials. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube provides
an extra margin of protection that effectively increases gear life.
Provides
Seal Compatibility
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube increases seal life and reduces
oil leakage due to pressure build-up. It is compatible with the elastomer
materials used to make seals and will not cause excessive swelling,
shrinkage or hardening.
Protects
Against Surface Distress
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube is thermally durable to protect
gears against surface distress in extreme pressure conditions. It
provides a tough lubricating film that resists the wear, pitting and
spalling caused by surface distress. With its superior film protection,
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube maintains its extreme pressure
additives to increase component life.
Inhibits
Foaming
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube contains special anti-foam additives
to inhibit the formation of air bubbles in the gear box. When foaming
is controlled, lubricant circulation and load-carrying ability are
improved.
SERVICE
LIFE
With its chemically advanced formulation, AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic
Gear Lube lasts longer than conventional petroleum gear lubes. In
non-commercial passenger vehicles under normal conditions, AMSOIL
SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube does not have to be drained. In situations
where severe water and/or dirt contamination occurs, a chemical lube
analysis can determine if the gear lube is still serviceable. Also,
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube can be recycled along with used
motor oil because it contain no chlorine.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube exceeds the lubrication and
performance requirements for gear boxes where API MT-1, GL-4 or GL-5
lubricants are specified. AMSOIL SAE 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube provides
limited slip performance. Although generally not necessary, manufacturers'
limited slip additives may be used in conjunction with AMSOIL SAE
80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube.
After
changing a vehicle's limited slip lubricant, drive the vehicle in
a tight "figure 8" pattern (lock to lock turns) for a minimum
of eight repetitions.
AMSOIL
80W-90 GL-4 Gear Lube is recommended for marine outboard and stern
drive lower unit gears and bearings. It is also recommended where
the manufacturer specifies GL-4 performance.
