HIGH PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT engineered to meet the demands of marine applications.
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube provides:
- Excellent Gear and Bearing Protection even when contaminated with 10% water
- Reduced Friction and Wear
- Rust and Corrosion Protection
- Long Seal Life
- Superior Foam Prevention
Product Description
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is an exclusive
AMSOIL formulation of
synthetic base oils and high performance additives that address the specific concerns
of marine applications. It is extreme pressure (EP) additive fortified for superior
protection of fast accelerating, high torque/horsepower engines. It protects against
shock loading from cavitation of heavily loaded engines.
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is water resistant. It maintains extreme
pressure protection even when contaminated with as much as 10% water. It promotes
longer seal life, preventing excessive water leakage. AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine
Gear Lube prevents rust and is compatible with aluminum, copper and brass alloys.
Applications
AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is recommended for fresh and salt water
applications requiring either 75W-90 or 80W-90 viscosity grade and meeting either
API GL-4 or GL-5 performance standards.

Marine gear oils operate in environments subject to water contamination. The chart
below demonstrates the ability of AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube to maintain
designed qualities such as extreme pressure/anti-wear performance and resistance to
foaming, even when subjected to 10% water contamination.
The Falex Procedure is measurement of a gear lube's extreme pressure and anti-wear
properties. A high value in the Falex Extreme Pressure Test relates to extra extreme
pressure protection. AMSOIL Universal Synthetic Marine Gear Lube is not affected by
water and provides 50% more extreme pressure protection for long gear and bearing life.
The presence of foam in a lubricant disrupts oil film and promotes wear. Water
contamination can increase the likelihood of foaming. Industry standard testing
demonstrates zero foam in both new and water-contaminated AMSOIL Universal Synthetic
Marine Gear Lube. Other conventional gear lubes can foam when mixed with water, as
seen in the graph.
