PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30
Motor Oil (ASL) delivers extraordinary lubrication in
all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining
the industry premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL
premium additives, AMSOIL ASL exceeds the higher performance
demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress
of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emission
control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 world's 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 5W-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 ASL 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 5W-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 5W-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 5W-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 below).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 ASL contains
no wax. It stays fluid down to -60°F for improved cold
temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier
starting (see chart below).
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 M2C929-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
-
VW 503.00,
505.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASL 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. 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 5W-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 owner's 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 use 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.
