Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines
today are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL
Series 2000 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 Series 2000 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 Series 2000 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 Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil protects in high temperatures better than do the
high-viscosity conventional and synthetic oils tested
(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 Series 2000 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 Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity motor
oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 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 Series
2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses less than ten
percent.
AMSOIL Series 2000 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 Series 2000 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 Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series
2000 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 Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or other
synthetic oils. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may
offer a shorter service life than pure AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.
SERVICE LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks
with non-turbocharged gasoline engines: change
the oil at 35,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever
comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines
and occasionally used gasoline engines: change
the oil at intervals up to three times longer recommended
by the engine manufacturer or six months, whichever
comes first.
In high performance and racing engines:
specified by Owner Experience/Oil Analysis.
Marine four-cycle gasoline engines
and infrequently used automotive four-cycle gasoline
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times
longer than those recommended by the engine manufacturer,
or one year, whichever comes first.
In fleet and industrial engines:
drain oil at intervals up to two times longer than
recommended by the manufacturer, or six months, whichever
comes first.
AMSOIL Oil Filters should be changed
at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes
first) in gasoline engines. If a Hastings or other
filter is used, filter should be changed at manufacturer's
recommendation
