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 world’s 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 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.
