PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil provides superior protection and performance in the most severe
automotive driving conditions. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil provides a wide range of protection in all four-cycle gasoline
and diesel engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles.
It is recommended for use in vehicles subject to stop-and-go driving,
short trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling and off-road use.
RESISTS HIGH TEMPERATURE
VAPORIZATION
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil
off" in high temperatures, losing up to 25 percent of their original
weight. These vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and
contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In fact, according to the
NOACK Volatility Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil due to
evaporation, AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 only loses 7.0 percent of its
weight in high temperature service, surpassing rigorous European standards
set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature testing. The superior
vaporization resistance of AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 keeps engine
wear, oil consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil
circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
RESISTS OXIDATION AND
THERMAL BREAKDOWN
Conventional oils oxidize in high
operating temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that
contribute to corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased fuel economy.
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil resists oil breakdown,
maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties and providing extended
drain intervals. It continues to provide maximum protection at
temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic
10W-40 Motor Oil keep engines running in their optimum temperature range
for top performance and long life.
PROVIDES HIGH SHEAR
STABILITY
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil
specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It
retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads that cause conventional
oils to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic
10W-40 Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 3.93 cP at
302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test,
significantly exceeding test limits.
PROVIDES LOW TEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as -54°F (-48°C),
permitting easy engine cranking for quick starts. During sub-zero
temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much quicker than
conventional petroleum oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear and
increasing engine life.
RESISTS DEPOSIT
FORMATION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly cleaner
than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL 10W-40 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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron
parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.
PROVIDES EXTENDED DRAIN
INTERVALS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil features a superior synthetic composition and advanced
performance additives, performing much longer than competing conventional
and synthetic oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's
25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil may be used in gasoline or diesel engines and is recommended for
applications requiring the following specifications:
- API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CH-4, CG-4, CF-2,
CF, CD
- ACEA A2, A3, B2, B3, E2, E3
- CHRYSLER MS 6395-H
- CUMMINS CES 20071, 20072, 20076
- FORD WSS-M2C 153G
- MERCEDES-BENZ 226.1, 227.1, 228.3
- MACK EO-L, EO-M, EO-M+
- VOLVO VDS, VDS-2
- VOLKSWAGEN 501.01, 505
- ALLISON C-3, C-4
- CATERPILLAR TO-2, TO-3
- JASO-MA (Motorcycle)
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing
AMSOIL 10W-40 with a conventional oil will shorten the drain period of
AMSOIL 10W-40. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL 10W-40.
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,
change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain
interval or six months, whichever comes first.
- In high performance and racing
engines, change oil at intervals specified by used oil analysis.
- In light-duty and non-turbocharged
diesel engines, change oil at two or more times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil
analysis support those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes
first.
- In heavy duty and turbocharged diesel
engines, change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil analysis support
those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
- In marine craft and occasionally used
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever comes first.
- In fleet vehicles and industrial
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or six months, whichever comes first.
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. Non-AMSOIL oil
filters should be changed at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter
change interval.
