PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL 80W-90
Synthetic Gear Lube is a multi-functional product designed to
surpass the requirements of equipment and automotive applications
calling for an SAE 80W-90 viscosity grade. Formulated with
wax-free synthetic base oils and high quality additives, AMSOIL
80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube resists thermal breakdown. Its
naturally high viscosity index and shear stable construction
improves film strength and viscosity retention. AMSOIL Synthetic
80W-90 Gear Lube prevents wear, resists heat, and protects gears.
It lasts longer in service than conventional gear oils and
increases equipment life.
AMSOIL Synthetic 80W-90 Gear Lube
provides:
- High Load Gear and Bearing
Protection
- Longer Oil and Equipment
Life
- Lower Maintenance Costs
- Compatibility With Conventional and
Synthetic Gear Lubes
- Multi-functional for Multiple
Applications
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL
Synthetic 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube is recommended for use under
various combinations of high-speed, shock loads, low speeds and
high torque conditions. It is recommended for use in all light
and heavy-duty, automotive, commercial or industrial applications
requiring SAE 80W-90 EP gear lube. AMSOIL Synthetic 80W-90 Gear
Lube replaces all conventional 80W-90 gear oils and exceeds the
lubrication and performance requirements of front and rear
differentials, transfer cases, transaxles, manual transmissions,
oil lubricated wheel bearings, and steering gear boxes that
require any of the following specifications:
- API GL-5 & MT-1
- MIL-PRF-2105E
- Dana SHAES 234 (Formerly Eaton PS-037) for
250,000 miles
- MACK GO-J, GO-J+
- Arvin/Meritor 0-76D plus hypoid gear oil
specifications from all domestic and foreign manufacturers such
as GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler.
- Can also be used rear axles where API Service
GL-4 lubricant is recommended.

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to establish the application, NORMAL
or SEVERE.

Follow the OEM drain interval
(miles or hours) for synthetic oil up to 250,000 miles.
Otherwise, drain at twice the OEM interval for conventional
oil. |
Follow the OEM drain interval
(miles or hours) for synthetic oil. Otherwise, drain at twice the
OEM interval for conventional oil. |
For product service life in
non-differential applications, consult owner’s manual or
the OEM for either normal or severe synthetic oil service
intervals. Where service intervals are unavailable, drain at
twice the interval for conventional oil.
Note: AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where water contamination occurs. Check
and service the gear oil frequently when water contamination is
possible.
Gear oils should be changed more
frequently when operating vehicles or equipment in dusty or dirty
conditions unless the gear system is properly sealed and equipped
with membrane type breathers.
AMSOIL SYNTHETIC 80W-90 GEAR
LUBE is compatible with synthetic and conventional gear oils,
however mixing oils reduces the benefits and nullifies the
extended service life recommendations.
AMSOIL 80W-90 SYNTHETIC GEAR
LUBE is compatible with most limited slip differentials. If
limited slip differential chatter occurs, add AMSOIL
Slip-Lock™ friction modifier additive.

AMSOIL has optimized gear lube
performance for specific operating conditions. However, AMSOIL
gear lubes are multi-functional and may be used in many different
applications. This chart conveys the best AMSOIL recommendation
based on product design and operating environment.
First row product recommendations
offer superior performance in the respective applications. Second
row product recommendations offer excellent performance in the
respective applications. The third row is exclusive to SAE 80W-90
viscosity.
AMSOIL Severe Gear® 75W-90
(SVG), 75W-110 (SVT) and 75W-140 (SVO) synthetic gear lubes have
a performance emphasis on the extreme pressure and high heat of
today’s vehicle differentials.
AMSOIL Long Life 75W-90 (FGR) and
80W-140 (FGO) synthetic gear lubes have a performance emphasis on
500,000 mile extended drain intervals associated with larger
sumps and lower operating temperatures of over-the-road truck
differentials.
AMSOIL 75W-90 synthetic gear lubes
will outperform conventional 80W-90 gear oils in all applications
and may be used as a replacement.AMSOIL offers 80W-90 (AGL)
synthetic gear lube for those customers requiring this specific
viscosity grade.
