AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor
Oil exceeds the lubrication requirements of all modern
automobile engines. It provides tough lubricating
protection in the most demanding operating conditions.
AMSOIL 10W-30 resists high temperature degradation
and flows freely in cold conditions for superior protection
against engine wear. AMSOIL 10W-30 also provides maximum
power and improved fuel efficiency.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor
Oil (ATM) delivers extraordinary lubrication in all
types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining
the industry premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL
premium additives, AMSOIL ATM exceeds the higher performance
demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress
of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated
emission control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30
Motor Oil consistently outperforms competitive conventional
and synthetic motor oils. 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 vehicle.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 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 ATM 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 10W-30 Motor Oil
is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved
fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform
molecular structure helps it
flow more freely and reduce friction between metal
surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to
further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has
excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal
surfaces and robust anti-wear additives to further
reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for
improved engine life.
Reduces
Oil Consumption and Emissions
Evaporation (volatility) occurs when
oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil has the lowest evaporation
rate of the oils tested, making it the best at controlling
evaporationrelated oil consumption and emissions (see
chart).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
resists thermal (heat) 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 ATM contains
no wax. It stays fluid down to -58°F for improved
cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and
easier starting (see chart).
APPLICATIONS:
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
is recommended for use in gasoline engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS-M2C205-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ATM is compatible with conventional
and syntheticmotor 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 10W-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.
Replace AMSOIL oil filter at 12,500 miles
or six months, whichever comes first (other brands
at standard OEM* intervals).
Severe Service(4) Up to 15,000 miles
or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL oil filter at 15,000 miles
or six months, whichever comes first (other brands
at standard OEM* intervals).
In all other applications, extend the oil
change interval according to oil analysis or follow
the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM Original Equipment
Manufacturer
(1) Where the engine or operating conditions have
been modified from the original manufacturers
design, drain oil at the owners discretion
or extend based on oil analysis. Examples include
the use of performance computer chips; modified
exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the
use of fuels other than those recommended for normal
operation by the manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and within
the factory design settings. Mechanically sound
engines, for example, do not leak oil or consume
excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat,
do not have internal or external anti-freeze leaks
and have properly working emission control systems.
AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Non-turbo/non-supercharged personal transportation
vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles
at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or
fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and
subsequent use of AMSOIL engine oil in vehicles
with 100,000 miles or greater, daily short trip
driving (less than 10 miles), frequent towing, plowing
or hauling heavy loads and frequent driving in dusty
conditions.
AMSOIL 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.
