AMSOIL
Lubes Provide Superior Drivetrain Protection
Manual Transmissions
A vehicle’s manual transmission is responsible for changing the
gear ratio. It is a collection of gears and bearings, and unlike an automatic
transmission, gives shift command to the driver. Subject to high levels of
friction, high temperatures and high loads, these moving components need a high
quality lubricant to keep heat and wear to an absolute minimum, providing
transmission longevity and performance.
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are specifically engineered to meet
the high temperature/high load demands of today’s hard-working manual
transmissions. They resist the damaging effects of heat and oxidation at
temperatures much higher than conventional lubes can, meaning they won’t thicken
or develop sludge even under severe operating conditions. And because they are
synthetic, fuel economy increases and heat and friction are dramatically
reduced. Temperatures in the transmission are reduced by 20ºF to 50ºF, and
component wear is kept to an absolute minimum. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants come
in a variety of viscosity grades. Modern manual transmissions may require gear
lube, engine oil or automatic transmission fluid. Consult your owner’s manual to
decide which lubricant is recommended for your vehicle.
Automatic Transmissions
While a manual transmission shifts gears by the command of its
operator, an automatic transmission acts as an energy transfer media and shifts
automatically based on a variety of variables, including speed and load. Making
use of a hydraulic system, in addition to a network of gears and bearings, the
lubrication requirements for an automatic transmission are slightly different
than those of a manual transmission, requiring a lubricant of different
characteristics. Because automatic transmissions are commonly subjected to
extensive idling, frequent shorts trips, cold temperature operation, sustained
hot weather operation and trailer towing, it is important they are protected by
a high quality lubricant.
AMSOIL ATF provides automatic transmissions
with superior friction protection and performance over a wider temperature range
than conventional automatic transmission fluids, avoiding breakdown and
maintaining its viscosity in temperature extremes. It resists thermal and
oxidative degradation, ensuring cooler and smoother transmission operation and
longer transmission life. In addition, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF provides increased
fuel economy and lasts up to three to five times longer than conventional
fluids, providing superior protection for the long haul.
Differentials
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubricants
are premium grade gear oils specifically engineered for maximum performance in
severe duty applications. These state-of-the-art AMSOIL formulations feature an
exclusive blend of high viscosity, shear stable synthetic base oils and an extra
treatment of high-performance additives. AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP
Lubricants maintain their viscosity for long-lasting protection against
metal-to-metal contact. The proprietary AMSOIL additives form an iron-sulfide
barrier coating on gear surfaces, providing the ultimate line of defense against
wear, pitting and scoring. AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® lubricants help prevent “thermal
runaway” — a phenomenon caused by a lubricant’s inability to control friction
and increased heat under high-stress conditions. By controlling thermal runaway,
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants inhibit rapid lubricant degradation
and component damage. Equipment runs better and lasts longer with AMSOIL SEVERE
GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants.
Transfer Cases
Transfer cases are installed on four-wheel drive vehicles,
distributing the drive power between the front and rear axles. Transfer cases in
off-road vehicles also have a selectable ratio for extreme inclines, low speeds
and high tractive power. For optimum protection and performance, the transfer
case requires a high quality light viscosity fluid.
AMSOIL ATF is commonly recommended for
transfer cases. It maintains its viscosity and protecting capabilities in both
high and low temperature extremes. In fact, AMSOIL ATF offers four times the low
temperature fluidity required by today’s specifications.
