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.
