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 is Recommended for Applications Requiring the
Following Specifications:
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.
