AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil provides exceptional performance and protection for high-performance
European vehicles made by Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW,
Porsche and more. Its low-viscosity formulation maximizes fuel
efficiency without compromising engine protection, while meeting
strict European performance requirements for gasoline and direct-injection
diesel engines designed for low-viscosity oils. Formulated with
low sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS), AMSOIL European
Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil complies with modern emissions
systems to provide optimum life and performance.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication,
produced the worlds 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.
Stay-in-Grade Performance
Sophisticated European engines subject oil to
severe operational conditions. Oils must demonstrate excellent
high-temperature/high-shear (HT/HS) performance to maintain viscosity
and provide adequate engine protection. AMSOIL European Car Formula
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to stay in grade despite
rigorous operation throughout the extended drain intervals European
automakers recommend. Formulated with a select additive package
and shear-stable synthetic base oils, it meets strict ACEA and
VW HT/HS requirements to provide outstanding wear protection throughout
the entire drain interval.
Low-SAPS Formulation
Excessive sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur
(SAPS) in motor oil can harm modern exhaust treatment devices.
Diesel particulate filters (DPFs), for example, require low-SAPS
motor oil to resist filter plugging. AMSOIL European Car Formula
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oils low-SAPS formulation promotes
optimum emissions system performance and life, allowing reduced
maintenance costs.
Maximum Fuel Economy
AMSOIL European Car Formula is engineered with
a lighter 5W-30 viscosity and friction modifiers to reduce friction
for increased energy through-put. It minimizes internal engine
drag, providing an alternative for motorists currently using heavier-grade
oils, but who desire maximum fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Turbocharger Protection
Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines commonly
used in European vehicles require thermally stable oils that resist
deposit formation and provide turbocharger cooling. Thermally
stable oils help keep oil passages clean and promote fluid circulation
so turbo bearings stay cool and lubricated.
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil provides protection and performance for TDI systems in all
temperature extremes. Its low pour point protects turbochargers
against oil starvation and ensures rapid oil pressure in sub-zero
conditions, while its thermal stability withstands high-temperature/high-RPM
breakdown to resist deposit formations that can starve TDI systems
of lubrication.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil is formulated to meet or exceed the most demanding European
specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline or diesel
vehicles requiring any of the following performance specifications:
VW 504.00/507.00
ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4
Mercedes-Benz 229.51
BMW LL-04
Porsche C30
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for the extended drain intervals
established by the vehicle manufacturer. Change oil filter at
time of oil change.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils.
Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten
the oils 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.
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 (MSDS).
An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the AMSOIL
Website. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don't pollute. Return
used oil to collection centers.
