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 drive-train. 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.
Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is recommended for use wherever
SAE 10W-40 motor oil is specified in air- and watercooled four-stroke motorized
scooter engines, transmissions and gear boxes that require the following:
API SG, SL/CF
JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet clutch)
Engine manufacturers include, but are not limited to, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia, Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.

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.
