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 world’s 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
SN, SM
- ILSAC
GF-5, GF-4
- ACEA
A5/B5, A1/B1
- GM
6094M
- Chrysler
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.
