Replacement For Yamaha Yamalube Shaft Drive Oil?

Tech Discussion

AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Oil A reader asks: Do you carry a replacement for Yamalube Shaft Drive Oil Exclusive (part number: ACC-SHFTD-EX-00) for the final drive on my 2016 Yamaha FJR1300A motorcycle?

Our answer: Yes indeed. AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Oil is a full-synthetic replacement for the Yamalube Shaft Drive Oil.

The Yamalube product is a conventional (or mineral) oil, whereas AMSOIL Severe Gear is 100% synthetic. We submit that this makes the AMSOIL product a significant upgrade for motorcycle shaft drive systems.

Benefits Of AMSOIL Severe Gear In Shaft Drive Motorcycles

  • High-resistance to extreme heat
  • Lowers operating temperatures
  • Provides long service life
  • Reduces friction for optimum efficiency
  • Delivers extreme wear protection
  • Protects against leaks, keeps seals supple
  • Contains robust anti-rust/corrosion ingredients
  • A cost-effective upgrade

What Are The Advantages Of Synthetic Oil In Motorcycle Final Drives?

The lubricant used in the final drives of shaft drive motorcycles plays a significant role in terms of performance, efficiency and dependability. A good synthetic gear oil will reduce friction, improve efficiency and provide cooler operation. Synthetic oil out-performs conventional oil in every conceivable category.

Other Products For Yamaha Motorcycles

If you are optimizing the performance of your motorcycle’s final drive, don’t forget about the engine and transmission. AMSOIL’s 100% synthetic Metric 10W-30 or 10W-40 offer a significant operational upgrade. Expect smoother shifting, improved throttle response, cooler operation and ironclad wear protection.

AMSOIL Metric Vs Dirt Bike Motorcycle Oils

Tech Discussion

AMSOIL Metric Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil A reader asks: My Suzuki V-Strom 650 asks for 10W-40 oil. My motorcycle is used for street, touring and light adventure riding. Some V-Strom owners run the AMSOIL Dirt Bike 10W-40 in this model, while others run the Metric 10W-40. What is the difference between the two and what is the best choice  for my motorcycle?

Our answer: Both the AMSOIL Metric Synthetic 10W-40 and AMSOIL Dirt Bike Synthetic 10W-40 offer world-class protection, performance and smooth shifting. However, there are some very important distinctions between the two. Let’s take a look.

Service Life

The Metric 10W-40 has a longer service life than the Dirt Bike 10W-40. The Metric 10W-40 product was designed to stay in service for up to two times the OEM-suggested drain interval or one year (whichever comes first). AMSOIL “overbuilt” this product so that it could withstand big touring miles.

The Dirt Bike 10W-40 is designed to go the full service interval as suggested by the motorcycle manufacturer. Unlike the Metric Oil, it is not designed for extended drain intervals. The reason being is that the oil is changed more frequently in motocross and dirt bike applications. However, the Dirt Bike Oil can certainly stay in service for the entire service interval as suggested by your owner’s manual. This does not imply that the Dirt Bike product is “underbuilt”. It designed to withstand the severe thrashing delved out by dirt bike engines and transmissions.

Clutch Operation

Discerning riders may notice subtle clutch engagement differences between these two products. AMSOIL Dirt Bike 10W-40 is designed to deliver slightly more aggressive clutch engagement. The reason being is that motocross bikes require instant clutch engagement during race starts and in tight off-road situations. The Metric Oil is designed to deliver smoother clutch engagement which would be more desirable on the street.

It is important to note that both of these synthetic motorcycle oils are 100% wet-clutch compatible. As they both promote cooler operation, longer clutch plate life can be expected. There is no risk of clutch slippage when switching from a conventional motorcycle oil to one of these AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils.

It should also be noted that AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils have a reputation for optimizing shifting smoothness. They can also ease shifting into neutral.

Engine Protection

Both products have been torture-tested in professional racing and on the test bench. The AMSOIL Metric and Dirt Bike 10W-40 oils offer world-class engine and transmission protection. There is no wrong answer between them in this category.

Corrosion Protection

Both the Metric and Dirt Bike Oils contain rust and corrosion inhibiters. However, as the Metric 10W-40 product is designed for longer service intervals, it is a bit more robust on this front.

The total base number of each oil gives us a hint regarding corrosion fighting ability. Total base number (or TBN) is a motor oil’s capacity to withstand acidity. The higher the total base number, the greater the capacity to battle acids. The Metric 10W-40 has a very high TBN of 11.6. Dirt Bike 10W-40 has a respectable TBN of 7.6.

While TBN doesn’t tell the entire story regarding corrosion resistance, it does give us a good indication. Again, as the Metric 10W-40 is designed for ultra-long service intervals, a high TBN is a great asset.

Meanwhile, the Dirt Bike Oil is designed to provide wear control in the dirt bikes and motocross bikes that are routinely pushed to the very limit. However, the drain intervals are generally not that long. Therefore, having an ultra-high TBN is redundant and not a requirement in dirt bike applications.

Conclusion

Both the AMSOIL Dirt Bike and Metric oils will work exceptionally well. However, based on the street/touring/adventure usage, Metric 10W-40 gets the edge. The longer service life is a better fit for bigger miles. The smoother clutch actuation may also be a plus in stop and go traffic.

Can API GL-4 Transmission Oil Replace GL-3 Oil?

Tech Discussion

AMSOIL Synthetic 75W-90 Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Oil A reader asks: I’m looking for an API GL-3 manual transmission oil for my 2006 Pontiac Solstice. GL-4 transmission oil is widely available, but I can’t find GL-3 oil anywhere. Do you have an oil that will work?

Our answer: Yes, we do have a product that is safe for manual transmissions requiring an API GL-3 fluid. AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil is rated as an API GL-4 oil. However, this product is safe and appropriate for use in manual transmissions requiring an API GL-2 or GL-3 oil.

It is important to note that all transmission oils meeting the API GL-4 specification are safe for applications requiring a GL-3 oil.

What Is The Difference Between GL-3 And GL-4 Transmission Oil?

Transmission oils carrying the API GL-4 specification offer more extreme pressure wear protection compared to the requirements of the GL-3 specification. However, GL-4 oils are still safe for yellow metals such as brass synchros.

How Is the GL-4 Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil Safe For GL-3 Applications?

A main concern with choosing an oil for manual transmissions requiring a GL-3 gear oil is its compatibility with yellow metals. For example, copper, bronze and brass are categorized as yellow metals.

Products like AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil are suitable for GL-3 applications because its additive chemistry is very stable at high temperatures. Extreme pressure additives have to be utilized correctly so that they offer protection without causing yellow metal corrosion. The AMSOIL product’s sophisticated formula delivers both exceptional wear control and yellow metal preservation.

Why Doesn’t AMSOIL Include “API GL-3” On The Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil Label?

AMSOIL does not list the API GL-2 or GL-3 specification of the data sheet or label of the Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil product because these are long-obsolete industry specifications.

Where To Buy Synthetic Manual Transmission And Transaxle Gear Oil For API GL-4 And GL-3?

Oildepot can offer AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil at great prices in both the United States and Canada. Contact us using the price list request form on this page.

Will This New ATV/UTV 5W-40 Be Included In Oil Change Kits?

AMSOIL offers complete oil change kits for several Can-Am ATV and Side By Side models. These kits currently contain AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Powersports Synthetic 0W-40. We expect that AMSOIL will eventually switch these kits over to this new 5W-40.

In the meantime, should one be hesitant to use the 0W-40 when a 5W-40 is available? Absolutely no problem. Remember, they are both 40-weight oils at operating temperatures. The Formula 4-Stroke Powersports 0W-40 has legendary shear stability. Therefore, there is zero compromise in terms of protection when using the AMSOIL 0W-40 option.

How To Choose Wheel Bearing Grease With High Temp Protection

Tech Discussion

A reader asks: I have to replace the front wheel bearings on my SUV. Naturally, I would like to protect the wheel bearings as much as possible. Looking at AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease and AMSOIL Dominator Synthetic Racing Grease. Which grease would protect better against high heat in these hubs?

Our answer: Either AMSOIL grease product will easily withstand the temperatures that automotive wheel bearings generate.

However, the Dominator Grease does offer higher heat resistance. This is quantified in the ASTM D-3527 test. In this test, grease is run in a hub/spindle assembly at 1000 RPM at a temperature of 160°C for 20 hours on and four hours off. The test ends once too much resistance is created. Elevated resistance implies that the grease is failing.

AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease had a test lifespan of 120 hours. The Dominator Racing Grease had a test lifespan of 220 hours.

Again, either will easily handle long-term wheel bearing service. However, Dominator Racing Grease is superior in terms of severe heat resistance.

About AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease

AMSOIL’s Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is a highly versatile product that is ideal for general chassis and wheel bearing service. It boasts exceptional all-temperature performance and strong water resistance. A superb choice for automotive and commercial-use at a reasonable price.

About AMSOIL Dominator Synthetic Racing Grease

The Dominator Synthetic Racing Grease is an ultra-high-performance grease that can also do it all. Dominator Racing Grease’s hallmark is the aforementioned resistance to extreme heat. It was formulated for high-speed, high-temperature operation. It is also appropriate for general chassis and wheel bearing use. Other notable attributes include exceptional water resistance and great winter performance.

We can offer AMSOIL Synthetic Grease at wholesale prices in the United States and Canada. Request a price list using the contact form on this page or call us at 1-800-748-5781.
