AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic
Scooter Oil
Unsurpassed Protection for Scooter Engines,
Transmissions and Gear Boxes
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic
Scooter Oil (ASO) is formulated specifically to meet the
special needs of todays high-tech air- and water-cooled
fourstroke motorized scooters, offering unsurpassed wear
protection and friction reduction for longer equipment life
and cooler operating temperatures. Its exceptional shear
stability ensures consistent viscosity protection and provides
additional protection for transmissions and gear boxes,
while its friction modifier-free formulation ensures wet
clutch compatibility and smooth clutch operation. A special
anti-corrosion additive package provides long-term protection
during periods of inactivity and storage.
Shear Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications
increase shear, causing conventional lubricants to lose
viscosity and reduce their ability to control wear, resulting
in shorter engine life. The synthetic formulation of Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil effectively resists shear,
delivering consistent viscosity protection for unsurpassed
wear protection and extended equipment life.
Thermal Stability
The operating temperatures of scooter engines
fluctuate greatly, especially with air-cooled engines. Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil resists breakdown at elevated
temperatures, maintaining its protective viscosity for maximum
wear control.
Transmission and Gear Box Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine
and transmission and/or gear box share the same oil reservoir.
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is absolutely shear
stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity, providing
superior protection for transmissions and gear boxes.
Wet Clutch Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch
to engage and disengage the engine from the drivetrain.
In many cases, this clutch is immersed in the same oil used
in the engine and transmission. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil contains no friction modifiers and is wet clutch
compatible, offering smooth clutch operation and increased
clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended
periods of inactivity and storage, exposing the equipment
to internal rust and corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil is formulated with a special anti-corrosion
additive package designed to provide long-term protection
during periods of inactivity and storage.
Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter
Oil is recommended for use wherever SAE 10W-40 motor oil
is specified in air- and watercooled four-stroke motorized
scooter engines, transmissions and gear boxes that require
the following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet clutch)
Engine manufacturers include, but are not
limited to, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia,
Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommended drain intervals.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter
Oil 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. 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).
