New Gear lube specification

I thought perhaps some may want this information, so here it is.

SAE J-306 was modified in 2006 to break up the “broad” viscosity range of SAE 90. With a Viscosity range of between 18.5 cSt and <24 cSt, the new SAE 110 classification is midway between SAE 90 and SAE 140. This new classification assures gear manufacturers of sufficient viscosity protection as well as improved efficiency and fuel economy over SAE 140 gear lubricants.

New Severe Gear 75W-110 Synthetic Gear Lube

AMSOIL has introduced a new viscosity gear lube grade that fills the gap between the 75W-90 and 75W-140 viscosity gear lubes that most motorists are accustomed to using. Many used the 75W-140 to obtain extra film protection beyond what the 75W-90 viscosity grade offered for their differentials, but found that they sacrificed fuel economy by doing so. This new viscosity grade, 75W-110, offers a high temperature film protection beyond what a 75W-90 offers, without compromising fuel economy. This new mid-range viscosity grade for gear lubes addresses performance, protection and fuel economy. The stock number is (SVT).
