AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor
Oil is specially formulated to provide superior protection and
performance in the most demanding applications. It pro-vides a
wide range of protection in all four-cycle gasoline and diesel
engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles
and is ideal for use in high-stress 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 20W-50 Motor Oil
resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK Volatility
Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation,
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 only loses 6.0 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 Synthetic 20W-50 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 20W-50 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 20W-50 Motor Oil keep engines running in their optimum
temperature range for top performance and long life.
Provides High Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
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 20W-50
Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 4.9 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 Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil maintains outstanding low temperature fluidity, ensuring
easy engine cranking for quick starts. During sub-zero temperatures,
it flows to all parts of the engine much quicker than conventional
petroleum 20W-50 oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear and increasing
engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly
cleaner than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL 20W-50 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 Synthetic 20W-50
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 Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil features a superior synthetic composition and advanced
performance additives, performing much longer than competing conventional
and synthetic oils.
