5W-30 Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30
This formula is specifically designed to protect synchromesh manual transmissions and gears that require low-viscosity fluid without EP (Extreme Pressure) additives. It provides optimal friction characteristics for smooth gear shifting and offers superior protection for gears and bearings compared to conventional fluids.
Key Benefits
Extreme Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid operates effectively between -40°C and 149°C, resisting heat breakdown, oxidation, and varnish formation.
Outstanding Gear and Bearing Protection
The strong synthetic oil film resists shear (viscosity loss) and protects gears from wear better than conventional fluids. It also provides excellent corrosion resistance, is fully seal-compatible (prevents hardening), and is formulated to work optimally with brass synchronizers, ensuring smooth shifting.
Performance Highlights
-
Reduces friction, heat, and wear
-
Maintains excellent lubrication in both very low and very high temperatures
-
Resists heat-induced oxidation, acid formation, and varnish buildup
