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 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 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 SN, SM/CF, SL,
SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-5, 4 ...
- ACEA A5/B5, A1/B1
- GM LL-A-025, 4718M,
6094M
- Ford WSS-M2C205-A
- Chrysler MS-6395N
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ATM 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 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 owner’s 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.
