PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Fifth Wheel and Open Gear Compound (GFW)
is based on proprietary technology resulting in a lubricant that
does not use asphaltic materials, residual compounded oils or
diluant solvents as part of the lubricant formulation.* Typical
gear compounds are composed of asphaltic and residual oils cut
with solvent to ease application and use. Synthetic GFW does not
require solvents to assist the product in application and use,
even in cold weather.*Aerosol
spray contains a solvent that evaporates quickly leaving a
solvent-free film of material on treated surfaces.
WIDE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
AMSOIL GFW performs well in cold temperatures and
won't drip off at high temperatures, reducing the need for
frequent lubrication.
ADHESION TO METAL
AMSOIL GFW provides excellent adhesion to metal
surfaces in cold and hot temperatures. Tackiness allows it to
stay in place in high-speed applications, even when applied to
open gears or chains. Spray formulation offers quick and easy
application.
WATER
WASHOUT RESISTANT
AMSOIL GFW repels water, protects metal parts from
rust corrosion and stays in place to protect gears from wear.
HANDLES HEAVY LOADS
AMSOIL GFW provides a tough grease film to handle
heavy loads and prevent metal parts from contacting.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES

temperatures and does not flake off
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL GFW may be applied to fifth-wheels, open gears,
chains, flexible couplings, sliding surfaces of drag lines and
shovels, construction equipment, dredging equipment or any
application where a heavy, tenacious lubricant is required.
Performance Data
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound meets the AGMA
14R and NLGI #1 performance specifications.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is fully
compatible with other fifth-wheel and open gear compounds and
may be applied to surfaces previously treated with other
fifth-wheel and open gear compounds.
Product Availability
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is available
in 11.5 oz. aerosol spray cans.
