AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil (MCS) is a premium oil designed for those who demand
the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oil is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated
to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine
RPM, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears
and rust common to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil features superior
heat resistance and wear protection. It is shear-stable and helps
maintain proper oil pressure in elevated temperatures. AMSOIL
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil stops viscosity breakdown (loss),
protects gears and chains, and meets SAE 140, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements. It is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements
of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle
Oil outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in 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 motorcycle.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is
not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has exceptional
high-temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment
of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating
conditions. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable
and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives.
It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent
damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.
Extreme-Pressure Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is
no need for a separate transmission lubricant. It is shear-stable
and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative
effects of extreme-pressure additives.
Superior Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity
and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller bearing
failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and blow-by. Good
rust protection, however, comes by design and is not natural to
engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil contains special anti-rust agents.
Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil contains
no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive
clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps prevent slippage
and glazing, while its high TBN helps improve clutch life by resisting
the acids that can degrade clutch material.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is recommended
for early-model air-cooled V-Twin engines where a 60-weight motor
oil is specified. SAE 60 motor oils are commonly used in Harley-Davidson®
Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead and big-bore motorcycles. AMSOIL
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil meets API SG, SL/CF; API GL-1;
JASO MA/MA2 and ISO-L-EMA2.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle 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 its performance benefits. AMSOIL does not
support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycles
manufacturer-recommended change interval (miles/hours) or one
year, whichever comes first, in engines and transmissions. For
Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson
recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles
or one year, whichever comes first. When using an engine filter
other than an AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filter, change the filter
at standard intervals.
For off-road use, change AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil at the motorcycles manufacturer- recommended intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded from
extended drain interval recommendations. Oil changes are at the
owners discretion.
