PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is chemically formulated to deliver
unsurpassed protection for natural gas engines. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil
has a low-ash formula with highly effective rust and corrosion inhibitors. It
circulates quickly to critical engine components for fast, easy cold-weather engine
start-ups and has a very low volatility to remain stable in hot engine conditions.
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil will not break down like petroleum oils because
it resists the effects of high temperature oxidation much longer than petroleum
oils do. Inhibits Rust and Corrosion Natural
gas engines are unique in that they must often operate in locations where service
is infrequent. Many natural gas engines undergo long periods of inactivity. The
rust and corrosion inhibitors in AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil provide protection
during periods when the engine is not running or running intermittently. Improves
Spark Plug Reliability AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is an extremely
low-ash oil, which greatly reduces spark plug fouling and post plugging in two-cycle
natural gas engines and virtually eliminates ring belt deposits in four-cycle
natural gas engines. In some four-cycle applications, port cleanings have been
reduced four-fold. Maintains Viscosity Due
to its synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a true SAE 40 oil,
yet it passes SAE 20W viscosity specifications for low temperature performance
without the use of special additives. Resists Oxidation
and Thermal Breakdown AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil resists the
damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to ten times longer
than do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil neutralizes sludge and acid
formation to provide engines with long-lasting performance and reliability. Performs
in Cold Weather AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil remains fluid in
extremely cold temperatures. It resists the low temperature congealing that often
occurs in petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil ensures instant start-ups,
fast oil circulation and ideal protection under frigid conditions. Extended
Drain Intervals AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil affords exceptional
extended drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis program. Periodic oil
analysis should be conducted at the engine manufacturers recommended drain
intervals. Change the oil filter at the recommended engine manufacturers
drain intervals. MIXING AMSOIL AMSOIL
Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils
and other synthetic lubricants; however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil
with a petroleum oil will reduce the drain interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil. Note:
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil should not be used in automotive engines
that have been modified to use propane or natural gas.
