Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic 0W-40 Motor Oil
Specially formulated
to lubricate and protect 4-stroke recreational motors.
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor
Oil is specially formulated for four-stroke recreational
motors, including ATVs, outboard motors and motorcycles.
It may also be used in cars and trucks. Its broad
viscosity range makes it excellent for use in both
hot and cold temperature extremes.
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor
Oil may be used in all applications specifying 0W-40,
5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40 viscosity grades and is recommended
for applications requiring the following specifications:
- API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CD, CF
- JASO MA
Use in Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Mercury,
Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, Polaris, Nissan and Bombardier
motors and transmissions. Safe in wet or dry sumps.
Recommended for manual or automatic clutches.
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
Resists High Temperature
Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to vaporize and lose
weight in high temperature conditions, contributing
to poor oil circulation, reduction in fuel efficiency
and excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is highly resistant to
evaporation. While conventional petroleum oils thicken
due to evaporation, AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Motor Oil maintains its viscosity in high temperature
service. The superior evaporation resistance of AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil keeps engine
wear, oil consumption and emissions to a minimum,
while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy
high.
Friction Modifier Free
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains
no friction modifiers, making it ideal for ATV, outboard
motor and motorcycle engines. The friction modifier
free formulation of AMSOIL 4-Stroke ensures transmission
(manual or automatic) and clutch compatibility and
prevents slip.
Performance Formulated
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains
a robust dispersant/detergent package, making it ideal
for use in high-stress four-cycle engines. The dispersant/detergent
additive package effectively suspends harmful combustion
by-products and prevents deposits, keeping AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke clean and serviceable.
High-temperature operations often lead to the thermal
degradation and oxidation of conventional oils, leading
to the formation of deposits, sludge and varnish.
The superior oxidative and thermal stability of AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil inhibits the
formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment
runs clean in high-stress, high temperature operations.
Temperature and Performance
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil has a
broad viscosity range, making it excellent for use
in both hot and cold temperature extremes. As an SAE
40 weight motor oil, AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke provides
superior protection for hot operating, hard working
motors, while its SAE 0W rating ensures easy cranking,
excellent cold weather starting and quick post-startup
protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil protects
equipment from copper corrosion and rust, even during
equipment storage. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Motor Oil does not foam in service, protecting equipment
from the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs
with use of foam-filled fluids.

Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil may be
used in all applications specifying 0W-40, 5W-30,
10W-30 and 10W-40 viscosity grades and is recommended
for applications specifying the following:
• API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CD, CF
• JASO MA
Use in Yamaha®, Suzuki®, Honda®, Mercury®, Kawasaki®,
Arctic Cat®, Polaris®, Nissan® and Bombardier® motors
and transmissions. Safe in wet or dry sumps. Recommended
for manual or automatic clutches.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible
with other four-stroke fluids. However, a mixture
of AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil and
another oil may offer a shorter service life than
pure AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil.
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible
with and recommended for use with clutch plates in
ATV’s and motorcycle transmissions.
Installation
Change AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil
according to manufacturer's recommendations, without
oil filtration. With oil filtration (AMSOIL SDF Filter),
up to 2 times longer than manufacturer's recommendations
or 6 months, whichever comes first. If a Hastings
or other filter is used, filter should be changed
at manufacturer's recommendations.
