I always remember this website when I’m doing maintenance on my cars, specifically when the 30k intervals come around as I order gallons of oil for the drivetrain. I got on here to do some reading and catch up on my morning commute today. I searched for some threads on gear oil, and I’m seeing some praise for amsoils severe duty gear oils. I’ve heard this on several social media platforms as well, automotive oriented groups that is, though I typically just scroll past.
Word is that their base oil is proprietary and originally made for wind turbines. I understand base oils aren’t everything and that additive packages are just as important, if not more important. Anywho, what’s all the fuss? Seems to be a good gear oil, but I’m not convinced it’s far superior than other brands or off the shelf products. I can be pretty ignorant on some of these subject so I’m genuinely curious if I’m missing something.
