Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-30/SAE 30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil
A commercial grade formulation designed
for hot temperature, severe service operation of small
engines where routine maintenance is often difficult
or infrequent. Recommended for use wherever SAE 10W-30
or SAE 30 oil is specified in gasoline or diesel engines,
transmissions, hydraulics, and chain cases requiring
the listed specifications. Applications include maintenance
equipment, tractors, lawn and garden equipment, generators,
compactors, pumps, light towers, welders, log splitters,
power washers, cement mixers and trowels, skid-steers,
excavators and compressors.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil (ASE) is
a robust formulation designed for hot temperature,
severe service operation of small engines where
routine maintenance is often difficult or infrequent.
It is formulated with premium synthetic base oils
that exceed both 10W-30 multi-grade and SAE 30
straight-grade viscosity requirements. Unlike
conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ASE has
a naturally high viscosity index and does not
contain paraffin (wax). It has a -38°F pour
point and qualifies for SAE 10W, making it an
"all season," multi-grade lubricant
with a wide operating temperature range. As an
SAE 30 weight motor oil, AMSOIL ASE provides outstanding
protection for hot operating engines. Formula
4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is a commercial
grade lubricant that helps improve productivity
and reduce maintenance costs through superior
engine protection.
Resists Heat and Reduces Oil
Consumption
AMSOIL engineered Formula 4-Stroke®
Small Engine Oil to withstand the high temperatures
of hard working engines. It effectively resists
oxidation and oil vaporization to control oil
thickening and reduce oil consumption. AMSOIL
ASE lasts longer in service than conventional
oils and keeps engines clean for peak operating
efficiency.
Excellent For Transmission Systems
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke®
Small Engine Oil is a shear stable formulation
that contains no friction modifiers. It will not
break down during rigorous mechanical activity,
making it ideal for hydraulic or hydrostatic systems
and chain cases. It is wet clutch compatible and
designed to prevent clutch slippage in commercial
or recreational transmissions. AMSOIL Formula
4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil protects gears
and bearings during high-demand, commercial duty
service.
Superior Protection
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke®
Small Engine Oil is formulated with high levels
of premium anti-wear and detergent additive technology.
It provides severe service protection of pistons,
bearings and gears and effectively neutralizes
acids from combustion by-products prone to small
engines. Anti-rust additives further protect equipment
during storage or infrequent use.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke®
Small Engine Oil 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. Aftermarket oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s
recommended drain intervals.
