New Severe Gear Synthetic SAE 190 and SAE 250 Gear Lubricants round out the Severe Gear lineup. Two new premium high viscosity gear lubricants have been added to the Severe Gear lineup. New Severe Gear Synthetic SAE 190 (SRN) and SAE 250 (SRT) Gear Lubricants are recommended for off-road truck racing, rock racing, rock crawling, tractor pulling, funny car racing and dragster racing applications that require heavier viscosity gear lubricants.
Off-road truck racing applications encounter high speeds, heavy loads, shock loading and centrifugal sling-off. Drag racing vehicles, including funny cars and dragsters with high 3,000 to 8,000 horsepower engines, launch so quickly from the starting line that the gear lube flows away from the front of the differential, starving the pinion gear and bearings of essential lubrication protection. Because rock crawling and rock racing vehicles must maneuver over rocks and obstacles with little ground clearance, racers often incorporate differentials designed with the pinion on top instead of the bottom, causing pinion gears and bearings to operate with little lubrication protection. In addition, rock crawling and rock racing vehicles often operate in precarious positions, including sideways and upside down, causing lubricants to flow away from gears and bearings and leaving them to operate with no lubrication at all. AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic SAE 190 and Synthetic SAE 250 Gear Lubricants are premium grade, extreme pressure gear lubes. They are formulated with shear stable, heavy synthetic base oils for "high film strength" and extra heavy treatments of additives. Their synthetic formulations provide improved flow over conventional oils, reducing viscous drag and power loss. Severe Gear SAE 190 and SAE 250 Gear Lubes provide a barrier cushion between metal surfaces that absorbs impact. AMSOIL proprietary extreme pressure additives form an iron-sulfide barrier coating on gear surfaces for the ultimate line of defense against wear, pitting and scoring. AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic SAE 190 and SAE 250 Gear Lubricants are specifically engineered for high horsepower, high torque conditions where centrifugal gear lube sling-off is encountered. These tenacious formulations cling to gears and bearings for the best possible protection during shock loading, high G-forces and where pinion gears are installed at steep angles. Custom Severe Gear Synthetic Gear Lubricants provide exceptional reliability and extended gear life.
