Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines today
are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and power
without the sacrifice in wear protection that comes with
many fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing shows AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular conventional
and synthetic motor oils of much higher viscosity in wear
protection. (see chart)

Fuel Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the
drivetrain. Its low coefficient of friction inhibits the
energy loss to "drag" common to high viscosity oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel
efficiency may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil protects in high temperatures better than do the high-viscosity
conventional and synthetic oils tested (see chart). Even
after extended service in the engine, Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high
temperatures.
Low Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is specially formulated for superior cold temperature
engine protection. Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity
in extremely low temperatures, so it flows quickly and reliably
to allow easy starting and immediate lubricating protection.
Motorists seeking cold temperature dependability
and protection may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat
that causes conventional motor oils to lose as much as 25
percent of their mass, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil loses less than ten percent.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil's resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption extremely
low and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated
and protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep
fuel efficiency high and emissions low.
Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil remains free of sludge, varnish and other by-products
of high temperature degradation. With no deposits to foul
them, engines stay cleaner longer for top performance and
efficiency and maximum service life.
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil's excellent viscosity retention, the protection
that goes into the engine is the protection that stays in
the engine, even over an extended course of severe service.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or other synthetic
oils. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service
life than pure AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil does.
Service Life
In personal cars and light-duty trucks
with non-turbocharged gasoline engines: change the oil
at 35,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines and
occasionally used gasoline engines: change the oil at
intervals up to three times longer recommended by the engine
manufacturer or six months, whichever comes first.
In high performance and racing engines:
specified by Owner Experience/Oil Analysis.
Marine four-cycle gasoline engines and
infrequently used automotive four-cycle gasoline engines:
drain oil at intervals up to three times longer than those
recommended by the engine manufacturer, or one year, whichever
comes first.
In fleet and industrial engines:
drain oil at intervals up to two times longer than recommended
by the manufacturer, or six months, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL Oil Filters should be changed at
12,500-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes first)
in gasoline engines. If a Hastings or other filter is used,
filter should be changed at manufacturer's recommendation.
