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
• 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.
