AMSOIL
Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube
(MTG) is a premium blend of the finest synthetic base oils
and advanced, high-performance additives. It is formulated specifically
for maximum protection in the most demanding manual transmission
and transaxle applications where an extreme pressure GL-4 gear lube
is specified, including those where high horsepower/high torque engines
and towing or heavy loads increase transmission stress.
AMSOIL MTG prevents the thinning effects of mechanical shear. It maintains
its viscosity and superior film strength for consistent, long-lasting
wear protection. MTG excels in hot and cold temperature extremes that
exceed the limits of conventional mineral oils. It protects against rust,
keeps seals soft for long life, and is compatible with brass synchros
for smooth synchromesh shift quality.
Ideal for NV-4500 Transmissions
MTG is a thermally stable, extreme pressure formulation that resists
heat, oxidation, acid build-up and varnish. It is the ideal gear lube
for high temperature applications, including the New Venture NV-4500
transmission, which retains heat due to its cast iron housing and is
often subjected to heavy loads and high torque from turbo-diesel engines.
AMSOIL MTG is the replacement fluid for GM part #12346190 and Chrysler
part #4874459 (Chrysler specification #MS-9070).
Ideal for Muscle Car Transmissions
The extreme pressure design of MTG reduces friction, heat and wear. It
withstands the high horsepower and quick shifts common to muscle cars
equipped with large displacement engines.
Ideal for Front Wheel Drive Transaxles
The advanced synthetic formulation provides ultimate protection for gears
and bearings in front wheel drive transaxles.
Excellent for Service Centers
MTG is a versatile transmission and transaxle lubricant. It reduces inventory
needs, is readily available and is cost effective compared to vehicle
manufacturer branded products.
