10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic
10W-30 Motor Oil (ATM) delivers extraordinary lubrication
in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining
the industry premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium
additives, AMSOIL ATM exceeds the higher performance demands
of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower,
higher heat and complicated emission control systems. AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-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 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 vehicle.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-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 ATM 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 10W-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 10W-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 10W-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).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-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 ATM contains no wax. It stays
fluid down to -58°F for improved cold temperature oil
flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting (see chart).
APPLICATIONS:
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is recommended
for use in gasoline engines and other applications requiring
any of the listed worldwide specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS-M2C205-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ATM is compatible with conventional
and syntheticmotor 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 10W-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 owners 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 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.
