I was just wondering if its okay to use amsoil svg in the trans? I know alot of people run it in the transfer case and rear diff, looking to change my trans fluid to something different. I'm figuring svg would be a stronger fluid to use. Any people using svg in the trans please chime in on your experience.


any input would be great
Thanks

 

SVG is an API GL-5, MTG is an API GL-4. I would use an API GL-4 fluid due to its chemical make up and what is needed for the synchros...

 

I run svg in my tc and diff but mtg in my trans

 

Use only Amsoil MTG in the Transmission. SVG is for the Transfer Case and Rear Differential only.

 

just curious because svg states its a GL1 through GL5 gear oil.

 

SVG is being used in the transmissions of a few members here in Evom, i have a customer who uses SVO 75W140 in his tranny, he runs high horsepower and uses a tripple Exedy carbon clutch he claims it shifts like butter.

SVG 75w90, SVT 75w110 or SVO 75w140 can be used in GL4 applications.

 

thanks for the response, im only considering it because im upgrading the turbo soon and was thinking maybe svg would handle torque better.

 

I went to the dealer up here in NH and that's what they're using gl-5.

 

I used the svg once since the mtg was not available and it worked perfectly like the mtg does

 

SVG works as good as factory Diaqueen and MTG in the 6-speed. (I've tried all three.)
