Synthetic Fifth Wheel & Open Gear Compound (GFW)
Stays in place and protects over a broad
temperature range without flaking in low temperatures or softening in high temperatures. Excellent for fifth
wheel applications, with a convenient aerosol spray application that creates less mess. Designed to resist
water washout. Can also be used in open gear applications.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic Fifth Wheel and Open Gear
Compound (GFW) is based on 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.
*Aerosol spray contains a solvent that evaporates quickly leaving a solvent-free
film of material on treated surfaces.
WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE AMSOIL GFW performs well in cold
temperatures and won't drip off at high temperatures, reducing the need for frequent rlubrication.
ADHESION TO METAL AMSOIL GFW provides excellent adhesion to metal
surfaces in cold and hot temperatures. Tackiness allows it to stay in place in high-speed applications, even
when applied to open gears or chains. Spray formulation offers quick and easy application.
WATER WASHOUT RESISTANT AMSOIL GFW repels water, protects
metal parts from rust corrosion and stays in place to protect gears from wear.
HANDLES HEAVY LOADS AMSOIL GFW provides a tough grease film
to handle heavy loads and prevent metal parts from contacting.
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
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL GFW may be applied to fifth-wheels, open gears,
chains, flexible couplings, sliding surfaces of drag lines and shovels, construction equipment, dredging
equipment or any application where a heavy, tenacious lubricant is required.
Performance Data
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound meets the AGMA 14R and NLGI #1 performance specifications.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is fully compatible with other fifth-wheel and open gear
compounds and may be applied to surfaces previously treated with other fifth-wheel and open gear compounds.
Product Availability
AMSOIL Synthetic 5th Wheel and Open Gear Compound is available in 11.5 oz. aerosol spray cans.
