Amsoil Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube
 |
|
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube delivers
unbeatable protection and fuel economy. It has the film
strength required to deliver all the protection heavy-duty
and high-stress applications need in a fuel-saving viscosity
grade. Recommended for use in all passenger vehicles, commercial
trucks and race vehicles. Product Code: TGR
Provides superior lubrication, protection, and fuel
economy in racing and commercial applications.
Helpful Differential Recommendations:
-
Flush (drain) as much of the old fluid
out.
-
Differential fluid capacity depends on
ring gear and axle housing size.
-
Do not over/under fill differential. This
could mean a capacity difference of a quart or more
and may cause over heating problems. (See the owner's
manual for proper fill level)
-
AMSOIL gear oils are formulated with friction
modifiers for limited slip differential applications.
There is no need to add limited slip or additional additives.
-
After changing the differential fluid,
drive the vehicle in 7 or 8 figure eight turns, so new
lubricant can work its way into the axle assembly.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube is a race-proven
extreme pressure lubricant engineered to meet the severe high-load
and high-temperature demands of contemporary race and commercial
vehicle differentials and gear-lube equipped transmissions. It provides
the superior friction, heat and load control demanded by race drivers,
the superior fuel economy required by commercial vehicle operators
and the superior performance sought by all motorists.
Friction Reduction and Fuel
Economy
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube offers an exceptionally
low coefficient of friction for superior power transfer, heat control
and fuel economy.
In fact, independent testing shows class 8 vehicles
with AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube in the differentials
obtained up to 4.83 percent more mpg than vehicles equipped with
another popular gear lube.
High Load and Extreme Pressure
Performance
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube promotes long
life for gears, including those subject to high loads and severe
service. The superior film strength of its synthetic basestock ensures
protection from wear for gears operating with full-film lubrication.
Top-quality extreme pressure agents ensure protection from wear
for gears operating without full-film lubrication.
High Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube offer the thermal
stability and durability, oxidation resistance and shear stability
required for optimal protection in the hot environments in which
race and commercial vehicle gears operate. Thermal stability and
oxidation resistance keep gears and seals clean by inhibiting the
heat-induced formation of sludge and deposits. Thermal durability
protects gears from physical damage by preventing heat-induced failure
of anti-wear chemistry. Shear stability helps prevent metal-to-metal
contact and wear in high-temperature operations.
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube is ideally
suited for low temperature applications (see graph). Its low temperature
fluidity ensures excellent low temperature performance, protection
and fuel economy.
Seal Compatibility and Rust
and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube forms a barrier
on gear surfaces that seals out water to inhibit rust and corrosion.
Foam inhibitors ensure protection in conditions that favor lubricant
foaming and consequent metal-to-metal contact and wear.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube has been shown
to help seals perform better and last longer.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube exceeds the
following lubrication and performance requirements:
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube provides limited
slip performance. Although generally not necessary, original equipment
manufacturers' limited slip additives may be used in conjunction
with AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube.
NOTE: Most vehicle manufacturers recommend
driving a vehicle in tight figure "8" patterns eight to
ten times after changing limited slip lubricants.
INSTALLATION
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube is fully compatible
with other fluids used in geared applications. To install AMSOIL
Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube, drain the fluid in the system and
install the AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube lasts longer
than conventional petroleum gear lubes do. In non-commercial passenger
vehicles operated under normal conditions, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
Gear Lube does not have to be drained. In cases of severe water
or dirt contamination, a chemical lube analysis can determine if
the gear lube is still serviceable.
In commercial vehicles operated under normal conditions,
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lube may be used up to five times
longer than petroleum gear lubes may be used.
