Max Gear is recommended for truck and automotive differentials, outboard motor lower units or in rear axles or manual transmissions requiring an API fluid. Max Gear is a high performance automotive gear oil designed to provide maximum protection to heavily loaded gears while increasing power throughput through the drive train.

Gears run smoother, quieter, cooler and longer without overhauls. It is noncorrosive to both ferrous and nonferrous metals.

Product Features:

Maximizes horsepower
Extends gear and bearing life
Reduces operating temperature
Lower coefficient of friction
Superior corrosion protection
Separates rapidly from water
For use with open, limited-slip and locking differential
