Another great Amsoil product. I used it in my BMW K1600 GTL drive shaft. These drives can be a bit sloppy but it seems quieter and more precise since I put in the Amsoil.

Replaced RCF TVD rear diff fluid with severe gear 75w-90 and I felt an instant smoothness when I reversed. It didn't feel stiff or feel as if there was any resistance. Gone 1000 miles so far and it still feels lubricated.

I've been using this in my Harley Davidson Ultra Limited's gearbox since it was new in 2013. Started using it in 2006 on previous Harley. I could tell a difference immediately. Smoother shifting and confidence the gearbox was better protected than the OEM requirement of using engine oil in the gearbox.

Ive been running this in both axles for 112,000 miles. I dont have issues with kicking it in 4WD in extreme cold (no 4WD button/knob in this rig). The rear locking Eaton differential works reliably with zero noise. I tow consistently and I tap shift 97% of the time I drive to avoid using my service brakes which puts extreme stress on my drivetrain (bought truck new, truck has 125K hard miles, original factory installed rotors & pads are still on it and only the pads have worn by 2mm max). I drain & fill the diffs every 45K and I only get metal dust at the plugs, no flakes. So, I would say its working well.

I purchased a 2007 HD Ultra Classic in Nov. 2006. It was the first year of the 96 cu. in. Engine and 6 speed transmission.
In the first 600 miles I was bothered by hard shifting, and a noisy 6th gear. I found out Harley had used their 20W-50 oil in the trans.
At 600 miles I replaced the transmission oil with Amsoil Sever Gear 75W-90. Problem solved.
My bike now has 60K miles and the trans shifts beautifully with no noise.

my truck pulls a trailer that is right at its maximum gvwr. when it comes to the differential, i wanted the absolute best gear oil on the market. amsoil conducted a test on many gear oils available. severe gear scores higher over all [meaning average] when considering the all of 14 ways the oil was tested. for many years amsoil has conducted comparison tests of their best synthetic oils. amsoil always scores a higher average in the tests. i have heard people try and say their favorite oil is better than amsoil, but they cannot point to any testing that would support their opinions.

I have been using Amsoil exclusively in my 07 power wagon for over 2 years. With electric lockers front and rear, this is the only oil that keeps the lockers functioning perfectly. A lot of power wagon owners have issues with slow locker engagement, but mine engage almost instantly, and I no longer have foamy gear oil when I open the diffs.

Great gear oil. Running it in both of my diffs with no issues for ~5k miles on the new truck (I know, nothing compared to a lot of others) and 30k mi on my previous Jeep. The gear oil smells rich (very scientific, I know !) and pumps great. Several years ago I was approached by an AMSOIL fanatic who I got a very MLM scheme feel from, but after digging in; I'm sold. Doesn't matter if it's a new or used vehicle, I make a habit of changing every fluid to AMSOIL. Regardless of if you believe the 3rd party tests, I like the peace of mind in knowing I'm running the best in my vehicles.

I had this gear oil installed in my 1994 Ford Ranger XLT 2WD differential by a local repair shop. An inspection of the gear set revealed all was well. This truck has well over 200,000 miles on it and this marked my second differential oil change. My decision to use the Amsoil 75W-90 Servere Gear oil was based on the fact this truck hauls a wide variety of cargo (from rocks, wood to motorcycles) and I treasure reliability. After driving this truck for 23+ years, I've become familiar with it's sounds and feel and I noticed an absence of a slight howl coming the back of the truck at freeway speeds. No other changes or adjustments were made during the oil change and I maintain my own tire pressures. I look forward to not having to be concerned about this for another 100,000 miles!

Hard to know exactly how this will perform long-term, but since I have 100Ks of miles using all manner of AMSOIL products in cars, motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, and small equipment, I also have no doubt this is a top notch oil and I'll likely never have to replace this oil in my Outback again. The peace of mind I get with AMSOIL products and the ability to have extended drain intervals is second to none.
