| The
25,000 mile oil and filter was a life
saver. We saved more time and effort not
changing the oil every 3,000. We normally
put 35,000 miles per year (3,000/month)
on our transporter. We normally had to
change the oil once a month, which to
a do-it-yourselfer can be a Saturday morning
every month spent crawling under the transporter
getting greasy. With the 25,000 mile oil
and filter combination we only have to
spend two Saturday mornings per year slaving
away under the transporter. How's that
for saving time and money? Ten Saturday
mornings I can find something better to
do.

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil exceeds the lubrication
requirements of all modern automobile engines. It
provides tough lubricating protection in the most
demanding operating conditions. AMSOIL 10W-30 resists
high temperature degradation and flows freely in
cold conditions for superior protection against
engine wear. AMSOIL 10W-30 also provides maximum
power and improved fuel efficiency.
Resists
Vaporization
Conventional
motor oils tend to "boil off" in high temperatures.
Losing up to 25 percent of their original weight
in high temperature service, vaporized oils grow
thick and heavy. They circulate poorly, reduce fuel
efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions
and engine wear. Of course, oil consumption skyrockets
as oil boils off.
AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is highly resistant to
vaporization, losing only 6.6 percent of its weight
in high temperature service. In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30 Motor Oil resists vaporization so well, it
surpasses rigorous European standards, set at 13
percent weight loss in high temperature testing.
In the engine, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil's
superior vaporization resistance keeps fuel economy
high; oil circulation efficient; and oil consumption,
emissions, and most importantly, engine wear, to
a minimum.
Provides
High Shear Stability
The
shearing forces generated inside today's smaller,
high RPM automobile engines can literally tear apart
the molecules of conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30,
because of its unique synthetic construction, withstands
shearing forces. AMSOIL 10W-30 doesn't thin out
and lose viscosity like conventional oils do. AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil surpasses the North American
AAMA, Japanese JASO and European ACEA oil specifications
for high temperature/high shear viscosity. AMSOIL
10W-30 delivers long-lasting 10W-30 protection to
prevent wear under the hottest and heaviest-loaded
conditions.
Resists
Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL
10W-30 resists oil breakdown from heat, blowby chemicals
and oxygen longer than do conventional oils. AMSOIL
10W-30 resists forming varnish deposits and sludge.
It doesn't thicken like petroleum oils, but continues
to cool and lubricate, providing peak engine performance,
power and protection. In addition, the advanced
heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of
AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines, transmissions and gear
boxes running in their optimal temperature range,
for top performance and long life.
Provides
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL
10W-30 remains fluid at temperatures as low as -54°F
(-48°C) so it permits easy engine cranking for
fast starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows
to all parts of the engine in much less time than
conventional petroleum oils take, which greatly
reduces the rate of wear and increases engine life.
Resists
Deposit Formation
Because
AMSOIL 10W-30's synthetic formulation resists oxidation
so well, it runs naturally cleaner than conventional
oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 has a superior detergent/dispersant
additive package that, when tested after tens of
thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still
exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits
Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL
10W-30 contains powerful rust and corrosion inhibitors
to protect iron parts and bearing materials.
Provides
Extended Drain Intervals
Due
to its superior synthetic composition and advanced
performance additives, AMSOIL 10W-30 performs much
longer than do conventional petroleum and other
synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer
matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval
recommendations.

MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL
100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL
10W-30 with a conventional oil will shorten the
drain period of AMSOIL 10W-30. Engine oil additives
or after-market products are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL 10W-30.
SERVICE
LIFE
- Personal
passenger vehicles with gasoline engines: drain
oil at 25,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever
comes first.
- Turbocharged
gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up
to three times as long as those recommended
by the engine manufacturer or at six-month intervals,
whichever comes first.
- High
performance and racing engines: Drain oil at
engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals.
- Light-duty
and nonturbocharged diesel engines: drain oil
at intervals up to twice as long as engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals when used oil analysis
supports these longer drain intervals or at
six-month intervals.
- Heavy-duty
and turbocharged diesel engines: this oil is
not recommended for use in this application.
- Motorcycles,
ATVs, etc.: use engine manufacturer's recommended
drain interval.
- Marine
craft and occasionally used gasoline engines:
drain oil at intervals up to three times as
long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer
or at one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
- Gasoline
fleet vehicles and industrial engines: drain
oil at intervals up to three times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals or
at six-month intervals, whichever comes first.
