PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil exceeds the lubrication
requirements of all modern automobile engines, providing tough lubricating protection
in the most demanding operating conditions. It resists high temperature degradation
and flows freely in cold conditions for substantial reduction in engine wear.
AMSOIL 5W-30 provides excellent engine protection, maximum power, improved fuel
efficiency and extended oil drain intervals.
Resists
High Temperature Vaporization
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil resists
vaporizing in the high temperatures that vaporize petroleum motor oils. High vaporization
loss leaves a thicker, higher viscosity oil than is recommended. The NOACK Volatility
Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation, shows that
most 5W-30 petroleum motor oils fail to pass the 13 percent ACEA pass/fail limit.
In fact some oils lose as much as 25 percent of their weight to volatility. AMSOIL
5W-30 Motor Oil loses only 6.9 percent of its weight. AMSOIL 5W-30 remains a 5W-30.
It provides consistent high temperature protection and reduces oil consumption
and harmful emissions.
Resists Oxidation and
Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil resists the damaging
effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to 10 times longer than petroleum
motor oils. AMSOIL 5W-30 resists forming varnish deposits and sludge. It doesn't
thicken like petroleum oils, but continues to cool and lubricate, providing peak
engine performance and extended drain intervals. In addition, the advanced heat
transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 5W-30 reduce excessive operating
temperatures of engines, transmissions and gear boxes, so they run cooler, cleaner
and longer.
Provides High Shear Stability
AMSOIL
5W-30 surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for
high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It doesn't shear back to a lower
viscosity oil in the high temperature/high shear conditions of today's smaller,
high RPM automobile engines. AMSOIL 5W-30 maintains an extremely protective viscosity
of 3.5 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test,
far exceeding test limits of 2.9 cP.
Provides
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL 5W-30 remains fluid at temperatures
as frigid as -60°F (-51°C). It permits easy engine cranking for fast starts and
in sub-zero temperatures flows to all engine parts much faster than petroleum
motor oils. The exceptional cold temperature properties of AMSOIL 5W-30 provide
immediate cold start lubrication, greatly reducing engine wear and prolonging
engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
Because
AMSOIL 5W-30's synthetic formulation resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally
cleaner than petroleum motor oils. AMSOIL 5W-30 also contains special detergent/dispersant
additives that, when tested after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase,
still exhibit outstanding deposit control. This combination of natural detergency
and advanced additive package keeps AMSOIL 5W-30 effective for up to 25,000 miles
or one year in non-turbocharged gasoline-fueled cars.
Prevents
Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 contains special rust
and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum
bearing materials.
Recommended for Applications
Requiring the Following Specifications:

- VW 502.00/505.00
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 5W-30 with a conventional
oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 5W-30. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-30.
SERVICE
LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks with non-turbocharged
gasoline engines: drain oil at 25,000 miles or one-year intervals, whichever comes
first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines, motorcycles, ATVs, marine craft
and occasionally used gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times
as long as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer or one year, whichever
comes first.
In high performance and racing engines: drain oil according
to the findings of used oil analysis.
In light-duty and non-turbocharged
diesel engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long as those recommended
by the engine manufacturer or one year, whichever comes first.
In fleet
and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as those
recommended by the engine manufacturer if the findings of a used oil analysis
program support the extended drain intervals.
If the vehicle is equipped
with an AMSOIL Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month
intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline engines and 7,000-mile or six-month
intervals (whichever comes first) in diesel engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should
be changed at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals.
| AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are fully compatible with conventional motor oil. For best
results, however, use AMSOIL Engine
Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic motor oil. For maximum engine protection,
use an AMSOIL Oil Filter and an AMSOIL
Air Filter. Note: Most quick lube service centers will install
these products upon request or install them yourself. |
