PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke®
10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil (ASO) is formulated
specifically to meet the special needs of today’s
high-tech air and water cooled fourstroke
motorized scooters, offering unsurpassed wear
protection and friction reduction for longer
equipment life and cooler operating temperatures.
Its exceptional shear stability ensures consistent
viscosity protection and provides additional
protection for transmissions and gear boxes, while
its friction modifier-free formulation ensures wet
clutch compatibility and smooth clutch operation.
A special anti-corrosion additive package provides
long-term protection during periods of inactivity
and storage.
Shear
Stability
High engine rpms common to
scooter applications increase shear, causing
conventional lubricants to lose viscosity and
reduce their ability to control wear, resulting in
shorter engine life. The synthetic formulation of
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil effectively
resists shear, delivering consistent viscosity
protection for unsurpassed wear protection and
extended equipment life.
Thermal
Stability
The operating temperatures
of scooter engines fluctuate greatly, especially
with air-cooled engines. Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil resists breakdown at
elevated temperatures, maintaining its protective
viscosity for maximum wear control.
Transmission and Gear Box
Compatibility
In many scooter
applications, the engine and transmission and/or
gear box share the same oil reservoir. Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is absolutely shear
stable and will not thin out from mechanical
activity, providing superior protection for
transmissions and gear boxes.
Wet Clutch
Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a
frictional clutch to engage and disengage the
engine from the drivetrain. In many cases, this
clutch is immersed in the same oil used in the
engine and transmission. Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil contains no friction
modifiers and is wet clutch compatible, offering
smooth clutch operation and increased clutch
life.
Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Scooters are often
subjected to extended periods of inactivity and
storage, exposing the equipment to internal rust
and corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter
Oil is formulated with a special anti-corrosion
additive package designed to provide long-term
protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.

Mixing
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil 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. Aftermarket oil additives
are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor
oils.
