💦 Water and gear lube 🛢️ don’t mix.
Unfortunately, you can’t avoid submerging your marine motor’s lower unit, and your boat isn’t going anywhere without the lower unit’s combination of gears, bearings and other components that turn horsepower into movement. Lower units are resilient and can last for years, provided you service them annually. However, water can breach the seals and contaminate the gear lube in the lower unit, causing various problems.
💦 Water contamination
Water contamination is bad for several
reasons:
Viscosity loss – Viscosity measures a liquid’s resistance to flow or thickness. Your marine motor’s lower unit is designed to use a gear lube of a specific viscosity for optimal wear protection. Water can reduce the gear lube’s viscosity below what the manufacturer recommends, reducing wear protection.
Foam – A film of gear lube forms on the gear teeth it protects. This fluid film absorbs pressure and prevents metal to metal contact. Water contamination, however, invites the formation of foam. As the foam bubbles travel between gear teeth, they rupture under the intense pressure, leaving nothing behind to prevent metal-to-metal contact, which leads to premature wear and potential gear damage.
Sludge – Water produces sludge, inhibiting heat transfer and increasing the lubricant temperature, which speeds chemical breakdown. The faster the lubricant breaks down, the sooner it fails to provide adequate protection, and the sooner it must be changed.
Rust – Water contamination invites rust formation on metal surfaces. Rust can flake off and circulate throughout the gear lube, where it acts like sandpaper and scours bearing and gear surfaces.
The solution
Avoiding contact with water is impossible when boating 🚤, so we’ve engineered AMSOIL Synthetic Marine Gear Lube to deliver advanced protection against power loss and gear wear, even with up to 15% water contamination.
This is where you can find the gear lube to protect your boating experience ➡️ https://t.co/S5hRPwD9Ux

Don’t Neglect Your Drivetrain this Summer 🌞
Whether hauling heavy tools and equipment to a job site or towing a boat for a relaxing weekend on the lake, many vehicles are subjected to extreme operating conditions and hot temperatures in the summer, placing increased stress
on drivetrain components.
People commonly overstress their vehicles in the summer by overloading them and pulling trailers, campers or even fifth-wheel and boat combinations. As vehicle stress increases, transmission and differential temperatures rise and cause conventional lubricants to thin, resulting in inadequate lubrication that can lead to component failure. Differentials today are subjected to severe-duty service and encounter more stress and heat 🔥 than was typical only a few years ago. Modern turbodiesel trucks and vehicles with V-10 engines boast more horsepower and torque, challenging gear oils to provide adequate wear protection, while also providing maximum fuel efficiency.
The AMSOIL “Tow Package”
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid and SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic Gear Lube provide maximum protection in demanding environments such as towing, hauling and commercial use, providing increased lubricant film protection and reduced wear at elevated temperatures 🌡️. They are formulated for extended drain intervals of up to 50,000 miles (80,467 km) in severe service and 100,000 miles (160,934 km) in normal service, or longer where specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

We all know that engine oil provides lubrication. 🛡️ There is more to that puzzle. 🔒
The oil in your engine is tasked to carry out several other functions, some of which might not immediately spring to mind when you think about engine oils or other lubricants.

Why Change Chaincase Oil?
Chaincase oil breaks down primarily from pressure, heat, contamination by metal shavings from the internal gears and chain, and water from the environment.
AMSOIL Advantage
AMSOIL Synthetic Chaincase & Gear Oil is a 100% synthetic formulation that resists shear and chemical breakdown better than conventional fluids, providing superior 🛡️ protection and performance for enclosed chains and gears found in snowmobiles, ATVs and other similar equipment. It is formulated with extreme-pressure additives for increased wear protection that helps extend chain and gear life and it repels water to inhibit rust and oxidation. Its low pour point ensures superior ❄ low-temperature starting and reduces drag to deliver maximum power through the frigid depths of winter.
Applications:
• Arctic Cat
Synthetic Chain Lube #4639-363
Synthetic ACT Gearcase Fluid #5639-219 #4639-361 #4639-628

Choosing the right type of oil filter can be a challenge.
An oil filter's primary function 👉 contain or capture contaminants in the oil that would otherwise cause damage in the engine. It seems simple enough.
Increased contaminants 👉 to boost fuel economy 🚗, automakers continue using turbochargers, direct fuel injection and other performance-improving technologies that introduce more contaminants into oil. It’s the oil filter’s job to trap these contaminants and prevent them from wearing out your engine, making filter efficiency and capacity important.
AMSOIL has oil filters that are up to the 💪 challenge, whether it's a snowmobile, atv, car or truck. 💡 Match the great oil with a great oil filter.

🔥 What Is It? 🔥
In this example it is an AMSOIL Single-Remote Bypass Oil Filter system for the 6.0/6.4L Ford Powerstroke
What does it do? The Bypass Filter system operates by filtering engine oil on a "partial-flow" basis, filtering about 10 percent of the oil pump's flow and traps the small, wear-causing contaminants that the full-flow oil filter is not capable of trapping.
What are the benefits?
• Can Extend Oil Drain Intervals
• Improved Oil Cooling
• Increased Filtration Capacity and Life
• Increased Fluid System Capacity
• Efficient Small Particle and Soot Removal
• Significantly Extended Engine Life
• Equipment Constantly Runs on Cleaner Oil
• Increased Engine Efficiency
• Remove Particles Less Than One Micron
✅ Is this available for other engines? 5.0/5.9/6.7L Cummins, 6.6L Duramax, 6.0/6.4/6.7/7.3L Powerstroke
✅ There are also general use / universal kits available. Yes, these kits can be used on gasoline powered engines.
