AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM)
delivers extraordinary lubrication for automotive gasoline
engines. AMSOIL combined the industry premier synthetic
technology and additives into a light viscosity formulation
that withstands high temperatures and delivers outstanding
fuel economy and cold temperature performance. AMSOIL ASM
replaces SAE 5W-20 and is recommended for extended drain
intervals according to AMSOIL service interval guidelines.
It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.
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.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 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 ASM 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 0W-20 Motor Oil is designed
to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy.
Its light viscosity properties reduce drag and its uniform
molecular structure helps it flow more freely to lower friction
between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included
to further improve energy efficiency.
Protects Against Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is a shear
stable formulation with a high viscosity index. It provides
excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces
and contains robust anti-wear additives for the best possible
engine protection.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets
hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL
Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil has a very low volatility rate,
making it excellent at controlling volatility related oil
consumption and emissions.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil resists
thermal 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 ASM contains no wax. It stays fluid down to
-65°F for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced
bearing wear and easier starting.
Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended
for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Ford and all
other applications where SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required
with the following specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ
- ILSAC GF-4, 3
- ACEA A1/B1
- Ford WSS-M2C930-A
- DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASM 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 of AMSOIL. 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 0W-20 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.
Severe Service(4)
Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter
at the time of oil change, up to 25,000 miles or one year
service life, whichever comes first (other brands at standard
OEM* intervals).
In all non-gasoline fueled
vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according
to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified conditions are
excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples
include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM
approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the
use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation
by the manufacturers.
(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition
and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive
amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not have
leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control
systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than
10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under severe
service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet
vehicles, excessive engine idling, first and subsequent
use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily
short trip driving less than 10 miles (16k), frequent
towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition
driving.
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow 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 Ea Full-Flow Filters.
