AMSOIL
Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL) delivers
extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By
combining the industry premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium
additives, AMSOIL ASL exceeds the higher performance demands of modern
engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and
complicated emission control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 engine.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 ASL 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 5W-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 5W-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 5W-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 below).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 ASL contains no wax. It
stays fluid down to -60°F for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced
bearing wear and easier starting (see chart below).
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic
5W-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- GF-4 ...
- ACEA A5/B5
- GM dexos 1tn (supersedes
LL-A-025, 6094M, and GM 4718M )
- Ford WSS M2C929-A
- Chrysler MS-6395N
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASL 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
5W-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 use 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.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not
expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application
and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet
