Amsoil 75w-90 Man. Trans Oil
I'm getting ready to swap the diff/trans oil this weekend and have everything set up and ready to go...or so I thought.
I ordered 2 liters of Motul Gear 300 for the differential and planned on using Amsoil 75w-90 for the transmission. I got the Motul just fine and just picked up the Amsoil from a local rep here (which was a strange experience). However...I just realized that the Amsoil 75w-90 version I got ('Severe Gear') is different from their other 75w-90 oil...so did I just screw myself out of being able to use it for the transmission? |

I wouldn't worry about it and would have no problem running it in mine. Hell, I run redline lightweight shockproof in mine and have no issues. If it works and feels fine, leave it in

Severe Gear is a differential fluid.
Edit: Is the Gear 300 the LS version? If not, you could use it in the trans, and the Amsoil in the diff.

I double checked and the Severe Amsoil is GL5 rated instead of GL4 anyway. |
