APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline
engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications
requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5 A1/B1
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS M2C929-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 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 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.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain
intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline
fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time of oil
change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other
brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications,
extend the oil change interval according to
oil analysis
or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified
conditions(non-stock) are excluded from extended drain
recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer
chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and
the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation
by the manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working
condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive
amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze
and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL
recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the
installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater
than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under severe
service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or
fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, use of AMSOIL motor oil in
vehicles with more than 100,000 miles without prior use of AMSOIL
motor oil, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16 km),
frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filters are designed for
extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil
and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use
AMSOIL full-flow oil filters.
