AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Engine Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30 Motorcycle Oil (MCT) is a premium oil designed
for those who demand the absolute best lubrication
for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is the result of
extensive research, and it is specially formulated
to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including
high engine RPM, wet clutch lubrication, extreme pressure
regions of gears and rust common to short drives and
storage.
AMSOIL MCT is multi-functional and
fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign
motorcycles. It outperforms other conventional and
synthetic motorcycle oils.
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.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection
is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil. AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines running cool by effectively
reducing friction and heat, and it contains a heavy
treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless
of the operating conditions (see Four-Ball Wear Test
graph below). AMSOIL MCT is thermally (heat) stable
and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor
additives. It is extremely resistant to volatility
(see NOACK Volatility graph on reverse) and engineered
to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for
superior engine cleanliness.
Provides Extreme Pressure Quality
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCT, there is no need
for separate transmission lubricants. It is shear
stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity.
AMSOIL MCT performs like a gear lube without the negative
effects of extreme pressure additives, such as poor
wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from
storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause
major damage such as uncontrolled wear, compression
loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however, comes
by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike
many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL MCT contains special
anti-rust agents that deliver superior rust protection.
With its high TBN (see TBN graph on reverse), AMSOIL
10W-30 provides greater protection from acid corrosion
and helps maintain internal engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle
Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth
shifting and positive clutch engagement. It controls
heat and prevents slippage and glazing, promoting
longer clutch life.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle
Oil is recommended for liquid- or air-cooled 4-stroke
motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and UTVs requiring an
SAE 10W-30 fluid. It meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements and is recommended for transmissions
on both 4- and 2-stroke motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is
recommended for Honda®, Yamaha®, Suzuki®
and Kawasaki® motorcycles and scooters, as well
as Arctic Cat®, Can-Am®, Honda®, Kawasaki®
and Suzuki® ATVs and UTVs. Not recommended where
an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle
Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic
motor oils; however, mixing oils may 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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the
motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours)
or one year, whichever comes first, in engines and
transmissions. When using an engine filter other than
AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard intervals.
For off road use, change
AMSOIL MCT at motorcycle manufacturer intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded
from extended drain interval recommendations. Oil
changes
are at the owner's discretion.
