PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil provides superior protection and performance
in the most severe automotive driving conditions.
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
provides a wide range of protection in all four-cycle
gasoline and diesel engines, including pickups, RVs,
cars and off-highway vehicles. It is recommended for
use in vehicles subject to stop-and-go driving, short
trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling
and off-road use.
RESISTS HIGH TEMPERATURE
VAPORIZATION
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil
off" in high temperatures, losing up to 25 percent
of their original weight. These vaporized oils circulate
poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive
emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In
fact, according to the NOACK Volatility Test, which
measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation,
AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 only loses 7.0 percent
of its weight in high temperature service, surpassing
rigorous European standards set at 13 percent weight
loss in high temperature testing. The superior vaporization
resistance of AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 keeps
engine wear, oil consumption and emissions to a minimum,
while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy
high.
RESISTS OXIDATION AND
THERMAL BREAKDOWN
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating
temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up
that contribute to corrosion, increased engine wear
and decreased fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil resists oil breakdown,
maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties
and providing extended drain intervals. It continues
to provide maximum protection at temperatures that
oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil keep engines running in
their optimum temperature range for top performance
and long life.
PROVIDES HIGH SHEAR STABILITY
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and European
ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high
shear (HTHS) viscosity. It retains its viscosity at
temperatures and loads that cause conventional oils
to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil maintains an extremely
protective viscosity of 3.93 cP at 302°F (150°C) in
the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test,
significantly exceeding test limits.
PROVIDES LOW TEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as
-54°F (-48°C), permitting easy engine cranking for
quick starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows
to all parts of the engine much quicker than conventional
petroleum oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear
and increasing engine life.
RESISTS DEPOSIT FORMATION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running
significantly cleaner than conventional motor oils.
AMSOIL 10W-40 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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors
to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and
aluminum bearing materials.
PROVIDES EXTENDED DRAIN
INTERVALS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil features a superior synthetic composition
and advanced performance additives, performing much
longer than competing conventional and synthetic oils.
No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile
or one-year drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil may be used in gasoline or diesel engines
and is recommended for applications requiring the
following specifications:
- API SG, SH, SJ, CF, CF-2, CG-4, CH-4
- ACEA A2, A3, B2, B3, E2, E3
- CHRYSLER MS 6395-H
- CUMMINS CES 20071, 20072, 20076
- FORD WSS-M2C 153G
- MERCEDES-BENZ 226.1, 227.1, 228.3
- MACK EO-L, EO-M, EO-M+
- VOLVO VDS, VDS-2
- VOLKSWAGEN 501.01, 505
- ALLISON C-3, C-4
- CATERPILLAR TO-2, TO-3
- JASO MA (Motorcycle)
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum
oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 10W-40 with a conventional
oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-40.
Engine oil additives or after-market products are
not recommended for use with AMSOIL 10W-40.
SERVICE LIFE
- In personal cars and light-duty trucks
with non-turbocharged gasoline engines, drain oil
at 25,000 miles or one-year intervals, whichever
comes first.
- In turbocharged gasoline engines,
change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or six months, whichever
comes first.
- In high performance and racing engines,
change oil at intervals specified by used oil analysis.
- In light-duty and non-turbocharged
diesel engines, change oil at two or more times
the engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals
if the findings of used oil analysis support those
drain intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
- In heavy duty and turbocharged diesel
engines, change oil at two or more times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals if the
findings of used oil analysis support those drain
intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
- In motorcycle engines, change oil
according to manufacturer's recommendations, without
oil filtration. With oil filtration (AMSOIL SDF
& SMF Filters), up to 2 times longer than manufacturer's
recommendations or 6 months, whichever comes first.
- In marine craft and occasionally
used gasoline engines, change oil at three times
the engine manufacturer's recommended drain interval
or one year, whichever comes first.
- In fleet vehicles and industrial
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the
engine manufacturer's recommended drain interval
or six months, whichever comes first.
If the vehicle is equipped with an AMSOIL
Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile
or six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in
gasoline engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be
changed at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter
change interval.
