Provides superior lubrication, protection, and
fuel economy in racing and commercial applications
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes are
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. They provide 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 Lubes offer
exceptionally low coefficients 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 Lubes promote long
life for gears, including those subject to high loads and
severe service. The superior film strength of their
synthetic basestocks 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 Lubes 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 Lubes are ideally
suited for low temperature applications (see graph).
Their low temperature fluidity ensures excellent low
temperature performance, protection and fuel economy.
Seal Compatibility and Rust
and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes form 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 Lubes have been
shown to help seals perform better and last longer.

AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes provide
limited slip performance. Although generally not
necessary, original equipment manufacturers' limited slip
additives may be used in conjunction with AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes.
Note: most vehicle manufacturers recommend driving a
vehicle in tight figure "8" patterns eight to
ten times after changing limited slip lubricants.
NEW VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY
The use of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes
will not void new vehicle warranties. AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic Gear Lubes meet the performance criteria shown
in "Applications" (above) and may be used in
equipment requiring fluids that meet any or all the
specifications shown.
INSTALLATION
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes are fully
compatible with other fluids used in geared applications.
To install AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes, drain
the fluid in the system and install the AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic Gear Lube of your choice.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes last longer
than conventional petroleum gear lubes do. In
non-commercial passenger vehicles operated under normal
conditions, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Gear Lubes do
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 Lubes may
be used up to five times longer than petroleum gear lubes
may be used.
AMSOIL PRODUCT WARRANTY
AMSOIL INC. warrants that the use of its products will
not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically sound
equipment when AMSOIL INC. products are used in full
compliance with AMSOIL INC. recommendations.
