PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is an exclusive AMSOIL formulation
of synthetic base oils and high performance additives that address the specific
concerns of marine applications. It is extreme pressure (EP) additive fortified
for superior protection of fast accelerating, high torque/horsepower engines. It
protects against shock loading from cavitations of heavily loaded engines.
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is water resistant. It maintains
extreme pressure protection even when contaminated with as much as 10% water. It
promotes longer seal life, preventing excessive water leakage. AMSOIL Universal
Synthetic Marine Gear Lube protects against rust and is compatible with
aluminum, copper and brass alloys.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is recommended for fresh and salt
water applications requiring either 75W-90 or 80W-90 viscosity grade and meeting
either API GL-4 or GL-5 performance standards.
Examples of AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube applications include:
Outboard Lower Units:
Stern Drives:
|
V-Drives:
Bow & Tunnel Thrusters:
Marine Transmissions:

Marine gear oils operate in environments subject to water contamination. The
chart below demonstrates the ability of AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear
Lube to maintain designed qualities such as extreme pressure/anti-wear
performance and resistance to foaming, even when subjected to 10% water
contamination.
The Falex Procedure is measurement of a gear lube's extreme pressure and
anti-wear properties. A high value in the Falex Extreme Pressure Test relates to
extra extreme pressure protection. AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube
is not affected by water and provides 50% more extreme pressure protection for
long gear and bearing life.
The presence of foam in a lubricant disrupts oil film and promotes wear. Water
contamination can increase the likelihood of foaming. Industry standard testing
demonstrates zero foam in both new and water-contaminated AMSOIL Universal
Synthetic Marine Gear Lube. Other conventional gear lubes can foam when mixed
with water, as seen in the graph.

AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine gear Lube is compatible with other
commercially available conventional and synthetic marine gear lubes.
Follow manufacturers recommended service intervals.
It is generally a good idea to change gear lube at the end of the season prior
to storage.
