Formula contains high quality anti-wear additives
and surpasses the tough ACEA oil specifications for
high temperature/high shear viscosity. It provides
outstanding protection in high RPM, hot running
engines and delivers dependable long-term
performance for the extended drain intervals set by
European automakers.
Superior Engine
Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation
stability, heat resistance and detergency properties
of AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula keep
engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent
sludge and varnish deposits for reduced oil
consumption, extended engine life and maximum
overall performance.
Minimizes Exhaust
Emissions
AMSOIL
European Car Formula is designed for newer vehicle
emission control systems. It meets current industry
and vehicle manufacturer requirements for long life
protection of gasoline vehicle catalytic converters
