PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
exceeds the lubrication requirements of all modern automobile engines. It
provides tough lubricating protection in the most demanding operating
conditions. AMSOIL 10W-30 resists high temperature degradation and flows
freely in cold conditions for superior protection against engine wear.
AMSOIL 10W-30 also provides maximum power and improved fuel efficiency.
Resists Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil
off" in high temperatures. Losing up to 25 percent of their original
weight in high temperature service, vaporized oils grow thick and heavy.
They circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive
emissions and engine wear. Of course, oil consumption skyrockets as oil
boils off.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is
highly resistant to vaporization, losing only 6.6 percent of its weight in
high temperature service. In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
resists vaporization so well, it surpasses rigorous European standards,
set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature testing. In the engine,
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil's superior vaporization resistance keeps
fuel economy high; oil circulation efficient; and oil consumption,
emissions, and most importantly, engine wear, to a minimum.
Provides High Shear
Stability
The shearing forces generated inside
today's smaller, high RPM automobile engines can literally tear apart the
molecules of conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30, because of its unique
synthetic construction, withstands shearing forces. AMSOIL 10W-30 doesn't
thin out and lose viscosity like conventional oils do. AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30 Motor Oil surpasses the North American AAMA, Japanese JASO and
European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear
viscosity. AMSOIL 10W-30 delivers long-lasting 10W-30 protection to
prevent wear under the hottest and heaviest-loaded conditions.
Resists Oxidation and
Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL 10W-30 resists oil breakdown from
heat, blowby chemicals and oxygen longer than do conventional oils. AMSOIL
10W-30 resists forming varnish deposits and sludge. It doesn't thicken
like petroleum oils, but continues to cool and lubricate, providing peak
engine performance, power and protection. In addition, the advanced heat
transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines,
transmissions and gear boxes running in their optimal temperature range,
for top performance and long life.
Provides Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL 10W-30 remains fluid at
temperatures as low as -54°F (-48°C) so it permits easy engine cranking
for fast starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of
the engine in much less time than conventional petroleum oils take, which
greatly reduces the rate of wear and increases engine life.
Resists Deposit
Formation
Because AMSOIL 10W-30's synthetic
formulation resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner than
conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 has a superior detergent/dispersant
additive package that, when tested after tens of thousands of miles of use
in the crankcase, still exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits Rust and
Corrosion
AMSOIL 10W-30 contains powerful rust and
corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts and bearing materials.
Provides Extended
Drain Intervals
Due to its superior synthetic composition
and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL 10W-30 performs much longer
than do conventional petroleum and other synthetic motor oils. No other
major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain
interval recommendations.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is
designed to provide maximum benefits in gasoline-fueled engines. It is
recommended for applications requiring the following specifications:
- API SH, SJ, CF
- ILSAC GF-2, GF-3
- CHRYSLER MS6395 J, MS 9754
- FORD WSS M2C-153G
- GM 4718-M
- VW 502.00, 505.00
- DB 229.1, 229.3
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is
compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 10W-30
with a conventional oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-30.
Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use
with AMSOIL 10W-30.
SERVICE LIFE
- Personal passenger vehicles with
gasoline engines: drain oil at 25,000-mile or one-year intervals,
whichever comes first.
- Turbocharged gasoline engines: drain
oil at intervals up to three times as long as those recommended by the
engine manufacturer or at six-month intervals, whichever comes first.
- High performance and racing engines:
Drain oil at engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals.
- Light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel
engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long as engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals when used oil analysis
supports these longer drain intervals or at six-month intervals.
- Heavy-duty and turbocharged diesel
engines: this oil is not recommended for use in this application.
- Motorcycles, ATVs, etc.: use engine
manufacturer's recommended drain interval.
- Marine craft and occasionally used
gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as
those recommended by the engine manufacturer or at one-year intervals,
whichever comes first.
- Gasoline fleet vehicles and industrial
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals or at six-month intervals,
whichever comes first.
