Product Code: ATM
Dramatically outperforms conventional petroleum motor oils. Reduces
friction, heat and wear for maximum power, performance and fuel
efficiency. Resists high temperature burn-off, chemical breakdown and
sludging -- keeps engines cleaner. Outstanding low temperature fluidity
for fast, dependable winter starts and immediate start-up protection.
Exceeds the most demanding world-wide performance standards and meets
warranty requirements for all domestic and imported passenger car
engines, both turbocharged and nonturbocharged. Up to 25,000-mile or
1-year drain intervals.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is formulated
with advanced Polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base stocks.
PAO base stocks are the industry's premier base stock
technology, and when combined with an exact blend of premium
additives, provide second-to-none protection and performance
in the most demanding operating conditions. AMSOIL 10W-30
resists high temperature degradation and flows freely in
cold conditions for substantial reduction in engine wear. It
provides excellent engine protection, maximum power,
improved fuel efficiency and extended oil drain intervals.
Resists High Temperature
Vaporization
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists vaporizing in
the high temperatures that vaporize petroleum motor oils.
AMSOIL 10W-30 remains a 10W-30, providing consistent high
temperature protection, improved fuel economy and reduced
oil consumption and emissions.
Resists Oxidation and
Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists the damaging
effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to 10
times longer than petroleum motor 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 and extended
drain intervals. In addition, the advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 10W-30 reduce
excessive operating temperatures of engines, transmissions
and gear boxes, so they run cooler, cleaner and longer.
Provides High Shear
Stability
AMSOIL 10W-30 surpasses the North American SAE and
European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high
shear (HTHS) viscosity. It doesn't shear back to a lower
viscosity oil in the high temperature/high shear conditions
of today's smaller, high RPM automobile engines. AMSOIL
10W-30 maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 3.5 cP
at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High
Shear Test, far exceeding test limits of 2.9 cP.
Provides Low Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL 10W-30 remains fluid at temperatures as frigid as
-48°F (-54°C). It permits easy engine cranking for fast
starts and in sub-zero temperatures flows to all engine
parts much faster than petroleum motor oils. The exceptional
cold temperature properties of AMSOIL 10W-30 provide
immediate cold start lubrication, greatly reducing engine
wear and prolonging engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
Because AMSOIL 10W-30's synthetic formulation resists
oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner than petroleum
motor oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 also contains special
detergent/dispersant additives that, when tested after tens
of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibit
outstanding deposit control. This combination of natural
detergency and advanced additive package keeps AMSOIL 10W-30
effective for up to 25,000 miles or one year in
non-turbocharged gasoline-fueled cars.
Prevents Rust and
Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 contains special rust and
corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as
copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.
Recommended for Applications Requiring the Following Specifications:
API SL, SJ, CF
Ford WSS M2C-153G
VW 502.00, 505.00
ILSAC GF-2, GF-3
JASO VTW
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
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, motorcycles, ATVs, marine craft and occasionally used gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer or six months, whichever comes first.
In high performance and racing engines: drain oil according to the findings of used oil analysis.
In light-duty and non-turbocharged diesel engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer or one year, whichever comes first.
In fleet and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer if the findings of a used oil analysis program support the extended drain intervals.
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 and 7,000-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in diesel engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals.
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. |
