"I just put
AMSOIL in my new Toyota at 6,000 miles and the mileage jumped
three miles per gallon - a 10 percent increase. I can't
understand why everyone doesn't use this fantastic product."

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 efficiency 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.

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 one year,
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.
