PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM) delivers
extraordinary lubrication for automotive gasoline engines. AMSOIL
combined the industry premier synthetic technology and additives
into a light viscosity formulation that withstands high temperatures
and delivers outstanding fuel economy and cold temperature performance.
AMSOIL ASM replaces SAE 5W-20 and is recommended for extended
drain intervals according to AMSOIL service interval guidelines.
It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication,
produced the worlds 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 0W-20 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
ASM 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 0W-20 Motor Oil is designed
to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy. Its light
viscosity properties reduce drag and its uniform molecular structure
helps it flow more freely to lower friction between metal surfaces.
Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy
efficiency.
Protects Against Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is a shear stable
formulation with a high viscosity index. It provides excellent
viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and contains
robust anti-wear additives for the best possible engine protection.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot,
causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20
Motor Oil has a very low volatility rate, making it excellent
at controlling volatility related oil consumption and emissions.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil resists thermal
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 ASM
contains no wax. It stays fluid down to -65°F for improved
cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting.
Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended
for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Ford and all other
applications where SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the following
specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ
- ILSAC GF-4, 3
- ACEA A1/B1
- Ford WSS-M2C930-A
- DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASM 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 of AMSOIL. 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 0W-20 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.
Severe Service(4) Up to
15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter
at the time of oil change, up to 25,000 miles or one year service
life, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).
In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle
applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil
analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified
conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations.
Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM
approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use
of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by
the manufacturers.
(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good
working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume
excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not
have leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control
systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling
greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under
severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial
or fleet vehicles, excessive engine idling, first and subsequent
use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short
trip driving less than 10 miles (16k), frequent towing, plowing,
hauling or dusty condition
driving.
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow 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 Ea Full-Flow Filters.
