Product
Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines today are
built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil optimizes efficiency and power without the sacrifice in wear protection that
comes with many fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing
shows AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular
conventional and synthetic motor oils of much higher viscosity in wear protection
(see chart).
Fuel
Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the drivetrain. Its low coefficient
of friction inhibits the energy loss to "drag" common to high viscosity
oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel efficiency may
use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity
motor oils.
High
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil protects in high temperatures better than do the high-viscosity conventional
and synthetic oils tested (see chart). Even after extended service in the engine,
Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high
temperatures.
Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil is specially formulated for superior cold temperature engine protection.
Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity in extremely low temperatures, so it flows
quickly and reliably to allow easy starting and immediate lubricating protection.
Motorists
seeking cold temperature dependability and protection may use AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
Heat
Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is
highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat that causes conventional
motor oils to lose as much as 25 percent of their mass, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil loses less than ten percent.
AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil's resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption
extremely low and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated and
protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep fuel efficiency high and
emissions low.
Clean
Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
remains free of sludge, varnish and other by-products of high temperature degradation.
With no deposits to foul them, engines stay cleaner longer for top performance
and efficiency and maximum service life.
Shear
Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is
highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil's excellent
viscosity retention, the protection that goes into the engine is the protection
that stays in the engine, even over an extended course of severe service.
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil may be
mixed with petroleum-based oils or other synthetic oils. However, a mixture of
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may offer a shorter
service life than pure AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.
SERVICE
LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks with non-turbocharged
gasoline engines: change the oil at 35,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever
comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines and occasionally
used gasoline engines: change the oil at intervals up to three times longer
recommended by the engine manufacturer or six months, whichever comes first.
In
high performance and racing engines: specified by Owner Experience/Oil Analysis.
Marine
four-cycle gasoline engines and infrequently used automotive four-cycle gasoline
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times longer than those recommended
by the engine manufacturer, or one year, whichever comes first.
In
fleet and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals up to two times longer
than recommended by the manufacturer, or six months, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL
Oil Filters should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals (whichever
comes first) in gasoline engines. If a Hastings or other filter is used, filter
should be changed at manufacturer's recommendation.
