PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is the industry benchmark in lubrication
technology. Engineered with the world’s finest synthetic base oils and
high performance additives, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is designed for
those who demand the absolute best in motor oil performance. The exclusive
“extended drain” formulation delivers superior engine protection and
maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is a premium grade
synthetic motor oil that exceeds the requirements of modern,
high-performance engines and older engines. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30
and 10W-30 motor oils and consistently outperforms competitive
conventional and synthetic motor oils.
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.
Extends Drain Intervals AMSOIL
Signature 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lasts much longer in service than
conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain
additive system resist oxidation and neutralize the acids that shorten the
service life of other oils. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 delivers the
best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended
drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal
costs.
Maximizes Fuel Efficiency The
lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil reduces energy loss from the “drag” common to high viscosity
oils. It is fortified with additives that enhance its friction-reducing
properties to help further improve fuel efficiency.
Reduces Wear AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains specialized anti-wear technology. Its
durable, high temperature film strength effectively separates metal
surfaces to reduce wear even under the most grueling conditions. Tests
prove that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 provides better protection
against wear than other motor oils (see graph). AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 helps engines last longer.

Resists Heat, Reduces Oil Consumption and
Emissions AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is
thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility
(burn-off). It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant
additives designed to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. Low
volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.
Provides Outstanding Cold Flow Properties
Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 contains no wax.
Its exceptional -60°F cold flow properties ease starting and reduce
bearing wear.
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for use in gasoline engines,
diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications requiring SAE
0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30 with the following worldwide specifications:
• API SM/CF, SL, SJ … • ILSAC GF-4, 3 … • ACEA
A5/B5-04 • GM 4718M, 6094M • Ford WSS-M2C929-A • Honda HTO-06
• Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N • VW 503.00
Mixing AMSOIL AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 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 Signature Series
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in
unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first. • Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500
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 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 (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet
vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in
vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10
miles (16km), 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 Ea
full-flow oil filters.

DRIVEN BY EXCELLENCE
As A.J. Amatuzio neared the end of his 25-year career as an
award-winning jet fighter pilot, he set his sights on a new
challenge. Knowing that every jet engine in the world used
only synthetic oil, he was convinced that the same type of
technology would provide tremendous benefits to automotive engines. In
the early-1960’s he set out on an intense period of research and
development.
In 1972 A.J. Amatuzio created AMSOIL INC. and introduced the
world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil, AMSOIL 10W-40. But
obstacles remained for Amatuzio. The major oil companies were
threatened by his advanced technology and, along with the auto
manufacturers, refused to acknowledge his revolutionary new product.
Amatuzio persevered. Through sheer determination he began to
convince the motoring public that AMSOIL synthetic motor oil was far
superior to the conventional petroleum oils they had been using. Then,
as consumers caught on by the thousands, the competing oil companies
could no longer deny the performance benefits of AMSOIL motor oil.
They were forced to follow the AMSOIL lead and, one by one, developed
synthetic oils of their own. Amatuzio had humbled an industry.
Today, AMSOIL remains the leader in quality and innovation. A.J.
Amatuzio Signature Series Motor Oil is engineered with the world’s
most advanced synthetic base oils and high-performance additives. This
exclusive formulation represents the benchmark in motor oil technology
and sets the standard by which all other motor oils are measured.
