Amsoil Application Guid

[Bighank]

Whats up with the Amsoil Application Guid. I was rechecking
the gear lube application for my wifes 2007 Toyota RAV-4.
Toyota calls for a 85W-90. the last time I checked it said
No application for -18C. It did recommend 75W-90 SVG for
above -18C. Now it said 75w-90 SVX foe -18C and nothing for
above -18C. I don,t know what to use now!

I just checked the guide, and I see what you mean. I wouldn't worry about the above/below stipulation. The transfer case didn't change between the two. Go with any of the gear lubes, 80w-90, Long Life 75-90, or Severe Gear 75w-90.

That's it. I think a chunk was inadvertently deleted. I will ping HQ. You'll be fine with SVG.

Thank you Pablo. Already changed the motor to AKM 0W-20
and the EAO 010.
