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 helps prevent the thinning
effects of mechanical shear. It is formulated to
maintain its viscosity and superior film strength for
consistent, long-lasting wear protection. AMSOIL
Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube
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
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear
Lube 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 superior
protection for gears and bearings in front wheel drive
transaxles.
Excellent for Service Centers
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear
Lube is a versatile transmission and transaxle
lubricant. It reduces inventory needs, is readily
available and is cost-effective compared to vehicle
OEM-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).
