PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil exceeds the lubrication requirements of all modern automobile
engines, providing tough lubricating protection in the most
demanding operating conditions. It resists high temperature
degradation and flows freely in cold conditions for substantial
reduction in engine wear. AMSOIL 5W-30 provides excellent
engine protection, maximum power, improved fuel economy
and extended oil drain intervals.
Resists High
Temperature Vaporization
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil resists vaporizing in the high temperatures that vaporize
petroleum motor oils. High vaporization loss leaves a thicker,
higher viscosity oil than is recommended. The NOACK Volatility
Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation,
shows that most 5W-30 petroleum motor oils fail to pass the
13 percent ACEA pass/fail limit. In fact some oils lose as
much as 25 percent of their weight to volatility. AMSOIL 5W-30
Motor Oil loses only 6.9 percent of its weight. AMSOIL 5W-30
remains a 5W-30. It provides consistent high temperature protection
and reduces oil consumption and harmful emissions.
Resists Oxidation
and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil resists the damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals
and oxidation up to 10 times longer than petroleum motor oils.
AMSOIL 5W-30 resists forming varnish deposits and sludge.
It doesn't thicken like petroleum oils, but continues to cool
and lubricate, providing peak engine performance and extended
drain intervals. In addition, the advanced heat transfer capabilities
and high lubricity of AMSOIL 5W-30 reduce excessive operating
temperatures of engines, transmissions and gear boxes, so
they run cooler, cleaner and longer.
Provides High
Shear Stability
AMSOIL 5W-30 surpasses the North
American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for high
temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It doesn't shear
back to a lower viscosity oil in the high temperature/high
shear conditions of today's smaller, high RPM automobile engines.
AMSOIL 5W-30 maintains an extremely protective viscosity of
3.5 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High
Shear Test, far exceeding test limits of 2.9 cP.
Provides Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL 5W-30 remains fluid at
temperatures as frigid as -60°F (-51°C). It permits easy engine
cranking for fast starts and in sub-zero temperatures flows
to all engine parts much faster than petroleum motor oils.
The exceptional cold temperature properties of AMSOIL 5W-30
provide immediate cold start lubrication, greatly reducing
engine wear and prolonging engine life.
Resists Deposit
Formation
Because AMSOIL 5W-30's synthetic
formulation resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner
than petroleum motor oils. AMSOIL 5W-30 also contains special
detergent/dispersant additives that, when tested after tens
of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibit
outstanding deposit control. This combination of natural detergency
and advanced additive package keeps AMSOIL 5W-30 effective
for up to 25,000 miles or one year in non-turbocharged gasoline-fueled
cars.
Prevents Rust
and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 contains
special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts,
as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.
Recommended
for Applications Requiring the Following Specifications:
- API SL, SH, SJ CF
- ILSAC GF-1, GF-2, GF-3
- Ford M2C153-G
- GM-4718M, 9986137
- DB 229.3, 229.1
- VW 502.00/505.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however,
mixing AMSOIL 5W-30 with a conventional oil will shorten the
drain period of AMSOIL 5W-30. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-30.
SERVICE LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty
trucks with non-turbocharged gasoline engines: drain oil at
25,000 miles or one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines,
motorcycles, ATVs, marine craft and occasionally used gasoline
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long
as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer or
six months, whichever comes first.
In high performance and racing
engines: drain oil according to the findings of used oil analysis.
In light-duty and non-turbocharged
diesel engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long
as those recommended by the engine manufacturer or one year,
whichever comes first.
In fleet and industrial engines:
drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as those
recommended by the engine manufacturer if the findings of
a used oil analysis program support the extended drain intervals.
If the vehicle is equipped with
an AMSOIL Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile
or six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline
engines and 7,000-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes
first) in diesel engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be
changed at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter change
intervals.
