AMSOIL
Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is the
industry benchmark in lubrication technology. Engineered with the world’s
finest synthetic base oils and high performance additives, AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 is designed for those who demand the absolute best in motor
oil performance. The exclusive “extended drain” formulation delivers
superior engine protection and maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 is a premium grade synthetic motor
oil that exceeds the requirements of modern, high-performance engines and
older engines. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oils and
consistently outperforms competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils.
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 Signature 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lasts much
longer in service than conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation
and long drain additive system resist oxidation and neutralize the acids
that shorten the service life of other oils. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30
delivers the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance
over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil
disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Efficiency
The lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil reduces energy loss from the “drag” common
to high viscosity oils. It is fortified with additives that enhance its
friction-reducing properties to help further improve fuel efficiency.
Reduces Wear
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains
specialized anti-wear technology. Its durable, high temperature film
strength effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce wear even under the
most grueling conditions. Tests prove that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30
provides better protection against wear than other motor oils (see graph).
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 helps engines last longer.
Resists Heat, Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is
thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility
(burn-off). It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives
designed to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. Low volatility
and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.
Provides Outstanding Cold Flow Properties
Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30
contains no wax. Its exceptional -60°F cold flow properties ease starting
and reduce bearing wear.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is
recommended for use in gasoline engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and
other applications requiring SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30 with the following
worldwide specifications:
• API SN SM …
• ILSAC GF-5, 4 …
• ACEA A5/B5, A1/B1
• GM 4718M, 6094M
• Chrysler MS-6395N
• VW 503.00
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 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. 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 Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic 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 12,500
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, 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 manufacturer.
(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 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 (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet
vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in
vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10
miles (16km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea 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 Ea full-flow oil
filters.
