AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars
and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube (MTG) is a
premium blend of the finest synthetic base oils and advanced,
high-performance additives. It is formulated specifically for maximum
protection in the most demanding manual transmission and transaxle
applications where an extreme pressure GL-4 gear lube is specified,
including those where high horsepower/high torque engines and towing or
heavy loads increase transmission stress.
AMSOIL MTG prevents the thinning effects of mechanical
shear. It maintains its viscosity and superior film strength for
consistent, long-lasting wear protection. MTG excels in hot and cold
temperature extremes that exceed the limits of conventional mineral
oils. It protects against rust, keeps seals soft for long life, and is
compatible with brass synchros for smooth synchromesh shift quality.
Ideal for NV-4500 Transmissions
MTG is a thermally stable, extreme pressure formulation that resists
heat, oxidation, acid build-up and varnish. It is the ideal gear lube
for high temperature applications, including the New Venture NV-4500
transmission, which retains heat due to its cast iron housing and is
often subjected to heavy loads and high torque from turbo-diesel
engines.
AMSOIL MTG is the replacement fluid for GM part
#12346190 and Chrysler part #4874459 (Chrysler specification #MS-9070).
Ideal for Muscle Car Transmissions
The extreme pressure design of MTG reduces friction, heat and wear. It
withstands the high horsepower and quick shifts common to muscle cars
equipped with large displacement engines.
Ideal for Front Wheel Drive Transaxles
The advanced synthetic formulation provides ultimate protection for
gears and bearings in front wheel drive transaxles.
Excellent for Service Centers
MTG is a versatile transmission and transaxle lubricant. It reduces
inventory needs, is readily available and is cost effective compared to
vehicle manufacturer branded products.
Performance Features
• Reduces friction, heat and wear
• Superior high temperature stability
• Resists heat, oxidation, acid build-up and varnish
• Lasts two times longer than conventional petroleum oils
• Improves cold weather shifting
Applications
Recommended for synchronized manual transmissions and transaxles that
require 75W-85, 75W-90 or 80W-90 viscosities and any of the following
performance specifications: API GL-4 and MT-1, ZF TE-ML 02B, 16A, 17A
and 19A, Chrysler MS-9070, MAN 341 ML. Recommended for use in NV 4500
transmissions, and replaces GM part #12346190 and Chrysler part
#4874459.
Meets GL-4 performance specifications required by some
models of Acura, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda,
Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hino
Mitsubishi-Fuso, and Zetor. Ideal for muscle car transmissions such as
Muncie, Borg Warner, Saginaw, Ford Toploader, Dearborn and New Process.
Also recommended for Gear Vendors Gear Splitters.
Service Life
Under normal operating conditions AMSOIL MTG will last two times longer
than conventional petroleum GL-4 gear oils. Where the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) recommends synthetic oils, follow the OEM drain
interval (such as NV 4500).
