Fifth Wheel and Open Gear Compound
See Product Pricing or to Place an Order
AMSOIL Synthetic Fifth Wheel and Open Gear Compound (GFW) is based on novel, proprietary
technology resulting in a lubricant that does not use asphaltic materials, residual compounded oils
or diluent solvents as part of the lubricant formulation.*
AMSOIL GFW provides excellent adhesion to surfaces, resistance to water washout and protection
against rust, corrosion, and wear. GFW Virtually eliminates common deficiencies of residual oils
and asphaltic compounds such as narrow operating temperature range, flaking, poor adhesion,
water washout and environmental concerns.
AMSOIL GFW is an aerosol spray product, making application quick, easy, neat and economical.
Because AMSOIL GFW sprays on, less product is required to cover an application than is required
with liquid or paste products. Product Code: GFW
* Aerosol spray contains a solvent that evaporates quickly leaving a solvent-free film of material on
treated surfaces.
Performance Features
Excellent resistance to water washout
Environmentally preferable to solvent-containing formulations
Protects ferrous surfaces from rust
Excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
Forms a tacky, tenacious film
Heavy load-carrying and extreme-pressure performance
Stays pliable at cold temperatures and does not flake off
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Fifth Wheel and Open Gear Compound (GFW) is based on novel, proprietary technology resulting
in a lubricant that does not use asphaltic materials, residual compounded oils or diluent solvents as part of the
lubricant formulation.* Typical gear compounds are composed of asphaltic and residual oils cut with solvent to ease
application and use. Synthetic GFW does not require solvents to assist the product in application and use, even in
cold weather. GFW meets the AGMA specification 14R for open gear lubricants.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Protects ferrous surfaces from rust
Excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
Forms a tacky, tenacious film
Heavy load-carrying and extreme-pressure performance
Stays pliable at cold temperatures and does not flake off
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
AMSOIL GFW may be applied to fifth wheels, open gears, wire ropes, chains, flexible couplings, sliding surfaces of
drag lines and shovels, construction equipment, dredging equipment or any application where a heavy, tenacious
lubricant is required.
GFW should be applied at an adequate coverage rate to ensure good lubrication and coverage of all mating surfaces.
For easy application, apply at room temperature.
Relubrication intervals are based on environmental conditions and use. Manufacturers' recommendations and users'
observations of surface conditions may be used to establish correct application rates and lubrication intervals.
WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
Because of the inherent cold-temperature properties of synthetic base materials, AMSOIL GFW stays fluid at cold
temperatures. This dramatically eases application and allows the product to protect surfaces, where residual
compounded oils and solvent-cut asphaltic products may not. In cold temperature applications, residual compounded
or asphaltic products will typically flake off, leaving the surfaces unprotected against wear and weather, causing the
relubrication interval to increase. AMSOIL GFW does not flake off in cold temperatures, but stays in place to provide
long-lasting lubrication protection.
In warm temperatures, asphaltic materials soften and lose film strength, allowing component wear. AMSOIL GFW, a
tacky lubricant, stays in place during warm temperature operations, providing heavy load carrying and extreme
pressure performance, thus protecting surfaces and reducing the need for frequent relubrication.
ADHESION TO METAL
AMSOIL GFW, with its synthetic base materials and highly polar nature, provides excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
even in hostile environments. This is a tremendous advantage since compounded oils and solvent-cut asphaltic
materials' adhesion are readily affected by the cleanliness of the metal surface. The ability of GFW to adhere to
surfaces under a variety of conditions means greater protection, less maintenance and cleaner application.
* Aerosol spray contains a solvent that evaporates quickly leaving a solvent-free film of material on treated surfaces.
