PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is chemically
formulated to deliver unsurpassed protection for natural gas engines.
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil has a low-ash formula with highly
effective rust and corrosion inhibitors. It circulates quickly
to critical engine components for fast, easy cold-weather engine
start-ups and has a very low volatility to remain stable in hot
engine conditions. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil will not break
down like petroleum oils because it resists the effects of high
temperature oxidation much longer than petroleum oils do.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
Natural gas engines are unique in that they must
often operate in locations where service is infrequent. Many natural
gas engines undergo long periods of inactivity. The rust and corrosion
inhibitors in AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil provide protection
during periods when the engine is not running or running intermittently.
Improves Spark Plug Reliability
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is an extremely
low-ash oil, which greatly reduces spark plug fouling and post
plugging in two-cycle natural gas engines and virtually eliminates
ring belt deposits in four-cycle natural gas engines. In some
four-cycle applications, port cleanings have been reduced four-fold.
Maintains Viscosity
Due to its synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Natural
Gas Engine Oil is a true SAE 40 oil, yet it passes SAE 20W viscosity
specifications for low temperature performance without the use
of special additives.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil resists the damaging
effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to ten times
longer than do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil neutralizes
sludge and acid formation to provide engines with long-lasting
performance and reliability.
Performs in Cold Weather
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil remains fluid in
extremely cold temperatures. It resists the low temperature congealing
that often occurs in petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil ensures instant start-ups, fast oil circulation and ideal
protection under frigid conditions.
Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil affords exceptional
extended drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis program.
Periodic oil analysis should be conducted at the engine manufacturers
recommended drain intervals. Change the oil filter at the recommended
engine manufacturers drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible
with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic lubricants;
however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil with a petroleum
oil will reduce the drain interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
Note: AMSOIL
Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil should not be used in automotive
engines that have been modified to use propane or natural gas.
