PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
provides superior protection and performance in the most
severe automotive driving conditions. AMSOIL High
Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil provides a wide range
of protection in all four-cycle gasoline and diesel engines,
including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles. It is
recommended for use in vehicles subject to stop-and-go
driving, short trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer
pulling and off-road use.
RESISTS HIGH TEMPERATURE
VAPORIZATION
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high
temperatures, losing up to 25 percent of their original
weight. These vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel
efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine
wear. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK
Volatility Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil
due to evaporation, AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 only
loses 7.0 percent of its weight in high temperature service,
surpassing rigorous European standards set at 13 percent
weight loss in high temperature testing. The superior
vaporization resistance of AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40
keeps engine wear, oil consumption and emissions to a
minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel
economy high.
RESISTS OXIDATION AND
THERMAL BREAKDOWN
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating
temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that
contribute to corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased
fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor
Oil resists oil breakdown, maintaining its cooling and
lubricating properties and providing extended drain
intervals. It continues to provide maximum protection at
temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced
heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL High
Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil keep engines running
in their optimum temperature range for top performance and
long life.
PROVIDES HIGH SHEAR
STABILITY
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil
specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS)
viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and
loads that cause conventional oils to shear back to a lower
viscosity. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor
Oil maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 3.93 cP
at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High
Shear Test, significantly exceeding test limits.
PROVIDES LOW TEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
remains fluid at temperatures as low as -54°F (-48°C),
permitting easy engine cranking for quick starts. During
sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine
much quicker than conventional petroleum oils, greatly
reducing the rate of wear and increasing engine life.
RESISTS DEPOSIT FORMATION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil is
highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly cleaner
than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL 10W-40 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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect
iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing
materials.
PROVIDES EXTENDED DRAIN
INTERVALS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
features a superior synthetic composition and advanced
performance additives, performing much longer than competing
conventional and synthetic oils. No other major oil
manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain
interval recommendations.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil may
be used in gasoline or diesel engines and is recommended for
applications requiring the following specifications:
- API SJ, SL, CF, CF-2, CH-4, CI-4
- ACEA A3, B3, E3, E5
- DAIMLER CHRYSLER 228.3, 229.1
- CUMMINS CES 20071, 20072, 20076,
20077
- MACK EO-M, EO-M+
- VOLVO VDS, VDS-2
- ALLISON C-3, C-4
- CATERPILLAR ECF-1, TO-2, TO-3
- MAN 271, 3275
- MTU Type 2
- DETROIT DIESEL Series 2000/4000
Category 2
- JASO MA (Motorcycle)
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil is
compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing
AMSOIL 10W-40 with a conventional oil will shorten the drain
period of AMSOIL 10W-40. Engine oil additives or
after-market products are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL 10W-40.
SERVICE LIFE
- In personal cars and light-duty
trucks with non-turbocharged gasoline engines, drain oil
at 25,000 miles or one-year intervals, whichever comes
first.
- In turbocharged gasoline engines,
change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or six months, whichever
comes first.
- In high performance and racing
engines, change oil at intervals specified by used oil
analysis.
- In light-duty and non-turbocharged
diesel engines, change oil at two or more times the
engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals if the
findings of used oil analysis support those drain
intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
- In heavy duty and turbocharged diesel
engines, change oil at two or more times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain intervals if the
findings of used oil analysis support those drain
intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
- In motorcycle engines, change oil
according to manufacturer's recommendations, without oil
filtration. With oil filtration (AMSOIL SDF & SMF
Filters), up to 2 times longer than manufacturer's
recommendations or 6 months, whichever comes first.
- In marine craft and occasionally used
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain interval or one year,
whichever comes first.
- In fleet vehicles and industrial
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain interval or six months,
whichever comes first.
If the vehicle is equipped with an AMSOIL
Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile or
six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline
engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the
engine manufacturer's recommended filter change interval.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are fully
compatible with conventional motor oil. For best
results, however, use
AMSOIL Engine Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic
motor oil.
For maximum engine protection, use
an
AMSOIL Oil Filter and an
AMSOIL Air Filter.
Note: Most quick lube service
centers will install these products upon request or
install them yourself. |
