AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil provides exceptional performance and protection
for high-performance European vehicles made by Volkswagen,
Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche and more. Its
low-viscosity formulation maximizes fuel efficiency without
compromising engine protection, while meeting strict
European performance requirements for gasoline and
direct-injection diesel engines designed for low-viscosity
oils. Formulated with low sulfated ash, phosphorus and
sulfur (SAPS), AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil complies with modern emissions systems to provide
optimum life and performance.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic
lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified
synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience
of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics®, to do the best job
protecting your engine.
Stay-in-Grade Performance
Sophisticated European engines subject oil to severe
operational conditions. Oils must demonstrate excellent
high-temperature/high-shear (HT/HS) performance to maintain
viscosity and provide adequate engine protection. AMSOIL
European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered
to stay in grade despite rigorous operation throughout the
extended drain intervals European automakers recommend.
Formulated with a select additive package and shear-stable
synthetic base oils, it meets strict ACEA and VW HT/HS
requirements to provide outstanding wear protection
throughout the entire drain interval.
Low-SAPS Formulation
Excessive sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) in
motor oil can harm modern exhaust treatment devices. Diesel
particulate filters (DPFs), for example, require low-SAPS
motor oil to resist filter plugging. AMSOIL European Car
Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil’s low-SAPS formulation
promotes optimum emissions system performance and life,
allowing reduced maintenance costs.
Maximum Fuel Economy
AMSOIL European Car Formula is engineered with a lighter
5W-30 viscosity and friction modifiers to reduce friction
for increased energy through-put. It minimizes internal
engine drag, providing an alternative for motorists
currently using heavier-grade oils, but who desire maximum
fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Turbocharger Protection
Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines commonly used in
European vehicles require thermally stable oils that resist
deposit formation and provide turbocharger cooling.
Thermally stable oils help keep oil passages clean and
promote fluid circulation so turbo bearings stay cool and
lubricated.
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil provides protection and performance for TDI
systems in all temperature extremes. Its low pour point
protects turbochargers against oil starvation and ensures
rapid oil pressure in sub-zero conditions, while its thermal
stability withstands high-temperature/high-RPM breakdown to
resist deposit formations that can starve TDI systems of
lubrication.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is
formulated to meet or exceed the most demanding European
specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline or
diesel vehicles requiring any of the following performance
specifications:
• VW 504.00/507.00
• ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4
• Mercedes-Benz 229.51
• BMW LL-04
• Porsche C30
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for the extended drain intervals established by
the vehicle manufacturer. Change oil filter at time of oil
change.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is
compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils.
Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will
shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance
benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals
where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
