Better Protection for Your Whole Drivetrain

Engine oil gets most of the attention, but your transmission, differential, and transfer case work hard every mile. Heat, pressure, towing, hauling, cold starts, stop-and-go driving, and heavy loads can break down ordinary fluids and reduce protection.

AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluids and gear lubes are designed to help protect gears, bearings, clutches, seals, and internal components while supporting smoother shifting, cleaner operation, and reliable performance.

Why Choose AMSOIL Synthetic Transmission Fluid?

Synthetic transmission fluid offers key advantages compared to conventional transmission fluid, including improved wear protection, increased cleanliness, better heat resistance, and smoother cold-weather shifts. AMSOIL explains that synthetic transmission fluids are built from pure, uniform base oils rather than conventional crude-oil impurities.

Smoother Shifting

Helps promote consistent, reliable shifting in hot and cold operating conditions.

Heat Resistance

Designed to resist breakdown from elevated temperatures, towing, heavy traffic, and demanding use.

Wear Protection

Helps protect internal transmission components from friction, wear, and fluid breakdown.

Cold-Weather Performance

Supports easier fluid flow and smoother operation when temperatures drop.

AMSOIL Transmission Fluid Options

AMSOIL offers transmission fluids for many applications, including automatic transmissions, manual transmissions, CVTs, dual-clutch transmissions, heavy-duty trucks, and powersports equipment. The best option depends on the vehicle and manufacturer specification.

AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR Synthetic Gear Lube

AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR is built for differentials, manual transmissions, transfer cases, and gearboxes that need strong protection under heat, heavy loads, towing, hauling, off-road use, racing, and severe service.

AMSOIL states that SEVERE GEAR is designed to resist breakdown from extreme heat, helping prevent viscosity loss and acid, carbon, and varnish formation. Its wax-free formula also improves cold-flow performance for better cold-weather operation.

Extreme Pressure Protection

Helps protect heavily loaded gears and bearings from metal-to-metal contact.

Heat & Towing Protection

Designed for hard-working differentials exposed to towing, hauling, high temperatures, and heavy loads.

Cold-Weather Flow

Wax-free synthetic construction helps improve cold-flow properties in low temperatures.

Cleaner Gearboxes

Helps fight acid, carbon, varnish, and deposits that can form under severe heat.

Popular Gear Lube Applications

AMSOIL gear lubes are commonly used in vehicles and equipment that place heavy stress on gears and bearings.

  • Pickup truck front and rear differentials
  • Towing and hauling vehicles
  • 4x4 trucks, Jeeps, and off-road vehicles
  • Manual transmissions where gear oil is specified
  • Transfer cases where applicable
  • Commercial and fleet vehicles
  • Performance cars and racing applications
  • ATVs, UTVs, and powersports gearboxes where specified

Transmission Fluid vs. Gear Lube: What’s the Difference?

Transmission fluid and gear lube are not interchangeable unless the manufacturer specifically calls for that product type. Automatic transmissions, CVTs, manual transmissions, differentials, and transfer cases may all require different fluid specifications.

Transmission Fluid

Often used in automatic transmissions, CVTs, manual transmissions, and some transfer cases. Requirements vary heavily by vehicle.

Gear Lube

Typically used in differentials, gearboxes, and some manual transmissions or transfer cases where gear oil is specified.

Vehicle Lookup Matters

The correct fluid depends on manufacturer requirements, viscosity, specifications, and application.

AMSOIL Transmission Fluid & Gear Lube FAQs

How do I know which transmission fluid I need?

Use the AMSOIL vehicle lookup tool and enter your year, make, model, engine, and drivetrain. Transmission fluid requirements vary by vehicle and specification.

Can I use gear lube in my transmission?

Only if your vehicle manufacturer specifies gear lube for that transmission. Many automatic transmissions, CVTs, and some manual transmissions require specific transmission fluid instead.

What is AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR used for?

SEVERE GEAR is commonly used in differentials, gearboxes, and other gear-driven components where the correct gear oil viscosity and specification are required.

Is synthetic gear lube better for towing?

Synthetic gear lube is a strong choice for towing and hauling because it is designed to handle heat, heavy loads, and severe operating conditions better than many conventional fluids.

Where do I order AMSOIL transmission fluid or gear lube?

Use the shopping links on this page or the AMSOIL product lookup tool. Products are ordered through AMSOIL and shipped directly to you.
