Product Description
AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubricants are premium grade lubricants 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, busses, 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.

I have decided to spare no expense in taking care of my '99 Eddie Bauer which I scored with low miles. Everyone tells me that the V8 engine/tranny combo is very reliable, so I decided to keep the fluids full of the best Amsoil products I can. My Amsoil rep said that basic Amsoil gear oils are superb, but these "Severe Gear" oils are second to none. A lot of his corporate customers run these oils and noticed significant decreases in fuel and maintenance costs in the long run.
What I noticed was a quieter, smoother ride and a boost in mileage. Mind you, I got the fluids changed at the same time I put in Amoil Series 2000 0/30, but it's all good. Some people balk at the price of Amsoil products, but it's less of a hit when you get a preferred customer members.
Good stuff.

high cost

I was pretty good about having my rear diff service done, but really never knew what they were putting in there. I switched everything to Amsoil synthetics and have seen an overall increase in gas mileage, and have piece of mind that my Explorer is more protected now .... even after flooding the truck, and putting close to 100 miles on it with silt in the diffs. Changed the fluid out, of course, and have had no problems. The cost is high, but not if you keep it dry and go my the extended service interval.
