Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines today are built for fuel efficiency and
power. AMSOIL Signature Series 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 Signature Series 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 Signature Series 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 Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place
of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil protects in high temperatures better than the
conventional and synthetic oils tested, regardless of viscosity (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 Signature Series 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 Signature Series
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Signature Series 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 Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses
less than ten percent. AMSOIL Signature Series 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 Signature Series 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 Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL
Signature Series 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 Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or
other synthetic oils. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service life than pure
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in
unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 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, 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 manufacturer.
(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 (16km) at a time
and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive
engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000
miles, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16km), frequent towing,
plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea 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 Ea full-flow oil filters.
In high performance and racing engines: drain oil according to the findings of used oil
analysis. In light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel engines: drain oil at
intervals up to twice as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer
or six months, whichever comes first.
| AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are fully compatible with conventional motor oil. For best
results, however, use
AMSOIL Engine Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.
For maximum engine protection, use an
AMSOIL Oil Filter and an
AMSOIL Air Filter.
Note: Most quick lube service centers will install these
products upon request or install them yourself.
