AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor
Oil (ASM) delivers extraordinary lubrication for automotive
gasoline engines. AMSOIL combined the industry premier
synthetic technology and additives into a light viscosity
formulation that withstands high temperatures and
delivers outstanding fuel economy and cold temperature
performance. AMSOIL ASM replaces SAE 5W-20 and is
recommended for extended drain intervals according
to AMSOIL service interval guidelines. It delivers
long-lasting performance and protection.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive
synthetic lubrication, produced the worlds 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 Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended
for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation
and long drain additive system are very stable, resisting
oxidation and neutralizing acids. AMSOIL ASM delivers
the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals, reducing
vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved
fuel economy. Its light viscosity properties reduce
drag and its uniform molecular structure helps it
flow more freely to lower friction between metal surfaces.
Anti-friction additives are included to further improve
energy efficiency.
Protects Against Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
is a shear stable formulation with a high viscosity
index. It provides excellent viscosity film strength
to separate metal surfaces and contains robust anti-wear
additives for the best possible engine protection.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when
oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions.
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil has a very low volatility
rate, making it excellent at controlling volatility
related oil consumption and emissions.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
resists thermal breakdown better than conventional
oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant
additives to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines
clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ASM contains
no wax. It stays fluid down to -65°F for improved
cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and
easier starting.
Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
is recommended for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler,
Toyota, Ford and all other applications where SAE
0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the following specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ
- ILSAC GF-4, 3
- ACEA A1/B1
- Ford WSS-M2C930-A
- DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASM 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 of
AMSOIL. 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 0W-20 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 service life, 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 manufacturers.
(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 have 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 or supercharged vehicles, commercial
or fleet vehicles, excessive engine idling, first
and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over
100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than
10 miles (16k), frequent towing, plowing, hauling
or dusty condition
driving.
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow 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 Filters.
