- Excellent gear and bearing protection, even when contaminated with 15% water¹
- Reduced friction and wear
- Protection against rust and corrosion
- Long seal life
- Superior foam prevention
Marine gear oils operate in environments subject to water contamination. The chart above demonstrates the ability of AMSOIL Synthetic Marine Gear Lube to maintain designed qualities such as extreme-pressure/anti-wear performance and resistance to foaming, even when subjected to 15% water contamination.¹
The Falex Procedure is a measurement of a gear lube’s extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties. A high value in the Falex Extreme-Pressure Test indicates extra extreme-pressure protection. AMSOIL Synthetic Marine Gear Lube delivers and is highly resistant to the effects of water contamination.
The presence of foam in a lubricant disrupts the oil film and promotes wear. Water contamination can increase the likelihood of foam. Industry-standard testing demonstrates zero foam in both new and water-contaminated AMSOIL Synthetic Marine Gear Lube.
APPLICATIONS
Use in fresh- and saltwater applications that require 75W-90 or 80W-90 gear lube and any of the specifications listed below, including lower units made by Mercury/Mariner, Johnson/Evinrude, Bombardier, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Force/US Marine, Nissan, Tohatsu and Harbormaster; sterndrives made by Mercruiser-Bravo, OMC/Bombardier, Volvo-Penta, Yanmar, Konrad and Marine Drive Systems; V-drives made by Casale & Menkins; bow thrusters made by Harbormaster Marine; and transmissions made by ZF Marine Transmission.
- API GL-4, GL-5
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is compatible with other commercially available conventional and synthetic marine gear lubes.
SERVICE LIFE
Follow manufacturers’ recommended service intervals.
It is generally a good idea to change gear lube at the end of a season prior to storage.
