AMSOIL Recommended Oils For Harley Davidson Motorcycles
Product Description
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.
Performance
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® provides performance beyond that possible with conventional
gear oil. These AMSOIL custom products offer superior gear and bearing
protection, better friction and heat reduction, increased efficiency and
extended service life.
Superior Film Strength
Controls Thermal Runaway
Rust and Corrosion protection
Reduced Operating Temperatures
Improved Efficiency
Longer Oil, Seal, & Equipment Life
Temperature Extremes
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® EP lubricants excel in hot and cold temperature extremes. By
design, they resist breakdown from high heat, preventing acids and
carbon/varnish formation. Their waxfree construction also improves cold flow
properties, improving fuel economy and cold weather shifting.
Applications
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic EP Lubricants are excellent for severe
applications, such as towing, hauling, steep hill driving, commercial use,
plowing, racing, off-road use, rapid acceleration, frequent stop-and-go
operation and high ambient temperatures.
Higher horsepower, towing and hauling capabilities of modern vehicles make turbo
diesel pick-ups, SUVs, vans and delivery/utility vehicles especially prone to
severe service. Other severe duty vehicles include light, medium and heavy-duty
trucks, buses, heavy equipment, 4X4s, tow trucks, race cars, tractors, and
motorhomes.
For product service life in differentials, consult your owner’s manual or the
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to establish the application, NORMAL or
SEVERE.
NORMAL | SEVERE | ||
Cars, SUV, Light & Medium Duty Trucks | Drain at 100,000 miles of service or according to the owner’s manual, whichever is longer | Drain at 50,000 miles of service or according to the owner’s manual, whichever is longer | |
Heavy Duty Class 8 Line Haul | Follow the OEM drain interval (miles or hours) for synthetic oil up to 250,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. Otherwise, drain at twice the OEM interval for conventional oil. | ||
Heavy Duty Off-Road Vocational | Follow the OEM drain interval (miles or hours) for synthetic oil up to 120,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. 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.
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.
Note: AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where water
contamination occurs. Check and service the gear oil frequently when water
contamination is possible.
Recommended for use in differentials, manual transmissions and other gear
applications requiring any of the following specifications: API GL-5, MT-1,
MIL-PRF-2105E, Dana SHAES 234 (Formerly Eaton PS-037), Mack GO-J, or the
differential (hypoid) gear oil specifications from all domestic and foreign
manufacturers such as GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler. Can also be used in
axles where an API GL-4 lubricant is recommended.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® (75W-90) provides superior performance and replaces
competitors’ 75W-90 and 80W-90 gear oils. It delivers the best fuel
efficiency and cold temperature performance of the SEVERE GEAR oils.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® is compatible with conventional and synthetic gear oils.
Mixing AMSOIL gear oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life
expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil
additives, other than those specified by AMSOIL, are not recommended for use
with AMSOIL gear oils.
AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR® is compatible with most limited slip differentials. If
limited slip differential chatter occurs, add
AMSOIL Slip-Lock™ friction modifier additive.
