Maximum
Engine Protection
AMSOIL
Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil surpasses the North
American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for
high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It does
not shear back to a lower viscosity oil in the high temperature/high
shear conditions of today's smaller, high RPM automobile
engines. AMSOIL 5W-40 contains high quality anti-wear
additives for superior engine protection. It resists the
damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation
for extended drain intervals, providing cool, clean and
efficient engine performance.
Reduced
Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil does not vaporize
(burn off) in the high temperatures that vaporize conventional
motor oils. It provides consistent high temperature protection,
improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption and
emissions.
Provides
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil remains fluid
at temperatures as frigid as -59°F (-51°C), permitting
easy engine cranking for fast starts and immediate start-up
protection, greatly reducing engine wear and prolonging
engine life.
Prevents
Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil contains special
rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as
well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.

Porsche.
Mixing
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil is compatible
with conventional petroleum oils; however, AMSOIL mixed
with conventional oils is not recommended for extended
drain intervals. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-40.
Service
Life
Use drain intervals according to the manufacturers'
recommendations for synthetic motor oil.
Caution:
Continuous contact with used oil has caused skin
cancer in lab animals. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Avoid
eye contact. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water
after handling. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes in
case of contact. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Contact a physician immediately. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection
centers.
