to provide maximum benefits in gasoline-fueled engines.
It is recommended for applications requiring the following
specifications:
- API SL, SH, SJ, CF
- ILSAC GF-1, GF-2, GF-3
- CHRYSLER MS6395 J, MS 9754
- FORD WSS M2C-153G
- GM 4718-M
- VW 502.00, 505.00
- DB 229.1, 229.3
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
exceeds the lubrication requirements of all modern
automobile engines. It provides tough lubricating
protection in the most demanding operating conditions.
AMSOIL 10W-30 resists high temperature degradation
and flows freely in cold conditions for superior protection
against engine wear. AMSOIL 10W-30 also provides maximum
power and improved fuel efficiency.
Resists Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil
off" in high temperatures. Losing up to 25 percent
of their original weight in high temperature service,
vaporized oils grow thick and heavy. They circulate
poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive
emissions and engine wear. Of course, oil consumption
skyrockets as oil boils off.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is
highly resistant to vaporization, losing only 6.6
percent of its weight in high temperature service.
In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists
vaporization so well, it surpasses rigorous European
standards, set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature
testing. In the engine, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor
Oil's superior vaporization resistance keeps fuel
economy high; oil circulation efficient; and oil consumption,
emissions, and most importantly, engine wear, to a
minimum.
Provides High Shear
Stability
The shearing forces generated inside
today's smaller, high RPM automobile engines can literally
tear apart the molecules of conventional oils. AMSOIL
10W-30, because of its unique synthetic construction,
withstands shearing forces. AMSOIL 10W-30 doesn't
thin out and lose viscosity like conventional oils
do. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil surpasses the
North American AAMA, Japanese JASO and European ACEA
oil specifications for high temperature/high shear
viscosity. AMSOIL 10W-30 delivers long-lasting 10W-30
protection to prevent wear under the hottest and heaviest-loaded
conditions.
Resists Oxidation and
Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL 10W-30 resists oil breakdown
from heat, blowby chemicals and oxygen longer than
do conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 resists forming
varnish deposits and sludge. It doesn't thicken like
petroleum oils, but continues to cool and lubricate,
providing peak engine performance, power and protection.
In addition, the advanced heat transfer capabilities
and high lubricity of AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines,
transmissions and gear boxes running in their optimal
temperature range, for top performance and long life.
Provides Low Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL 10W-30 remains fluid at temperatures
as low as -54°F (-48°C) so it permits easy engine
cranking for fast starts. During sub-zero temperatures,
it flows to all parts of the engine in much less time
than conventional petroleum oils take, which greatly
reduces the rate of wear and increases engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
Because AMSOIL 10W-30's synthetic formulation
resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner
than conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 has a superior
detergent/dispersant additive package that, when tested
after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase,
still exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL 10W-30 contains powerful rust
and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts and
bearing materials.
Provides Extended Drain
Intervals
Due to its superior synthetic composition
and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL 10W-30
performs much longer than do conventional petroleum
and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil
manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year
drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
is designed to provide maximum benefits in gasoline-fueled
engines. It is recommended for applications requiring
the following specifications:
- API SL, SH, SJ, CF
- ILSAC GF-1, GF-2, GF-3
- CHRYSLER MS6395 J, MS 9754
- FORD WSS M2C-153G
- GM 4718-M
- VW 502.00, 505.00
- DB 229.1, 229.3
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however,
mixing AMSOIL 10W-30 with a conventional oil will
shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-30. Engine
oil additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL 10W-30.
SERVICE LIFE
- Personal passenger vehicles with
gasoline engines: drain oil at 25,000-mile or one-year
intervals, whichever comes first.
- Turbocharged gasoline engines: drain
oil at intervals up to three times as long as those
recommended by the engine manufacturer or at six-month
intervals, whichever comes first.
- High performance and racing engines:
Drain oil at engine manufacturer's recommended drain
intervals.
- Light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel
engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long
as engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals
when used oil analysis supports these longer drain
intervals or at six-month intervals.
- Heavy-duty and turbocharged diesel
engines: this oil is not recommended for use in
this application.
- Motorcycles, ATVs, etc.: use engine
manufacturer's recommended drain interval.
- Marine craft and occasionally used
gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three
times as long as those recommended by the engine
manufacturer or at one-year intervals, whichever
comes first.
- Gasoline fleet vehicles and industrial
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times
the engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals
or at six-month intervals, whichever comes first.
