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.
