ASM 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil
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.

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 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.
