Product Code: AFL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40
European Engine Oil is
specially formulated for the
lubrication needs of
European gasoline and diesel
cars and light trucks.
Formulated with advanced
AMSOIL polyalphaolefin (PAO)
synthetic base stocks,
premium additives and a
broad 5W-40 viscosity
rating. AMSOIL 5W-40 allows
motorists to take advantage
of the maximum extended
drain intervals recommended
by European automakers while
providing second-to-none
protection and performance
in the most demanding
operating conditions.

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.
Meets or exceeds the following specifications for domestic and foreign gasoline engines:
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil surpasses the most demanding European oil specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline and diesel vehicles, including but not limited to, Saab, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land Rover, Opel, Mini Cooper, BMW, Peugeot and 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.
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. |
