Custom-Blended for Superior Performance in Today's Engines

     AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil exceeds the lubrication requirements of all modern automobile engines. AMSOIL 10w30 also provides maximum power and improved fuel efficiency. It provides tough lubricating protection in the most demanding operating conditions. AMSOIL 10w30 resists high temperature degradation and flows freely in cold conditions for superior protection against engine wear.
     Conventional motor oils tend to 'boil off' in high temperatures, causing oil consumption to skyrocket. Losing up to 25 percent of their original weight in high temperature service, vaporized oils grow thick and heavy, causing them to circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear.
     AMSOIL Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil is highly resistant to vaporization, losing only six percent of its weight in high temperature service. AMSOIL Synthetic 10w30 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 in the engine. AMSOIL Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil stands up to heat and vaporization so well, it passes rigorous European standards, set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature testing.
     Today's smaller, high RPM automobile engines generate shearing forces which can literally tear apart the molecules of conventional oils. AMSOIL 10w30 withstands shearing forces, because of its unique synthetic construction. AMSOIL 10w30 doesn't thin out and lose viscosity like conventional oils do. AMSOIL 10w30 delivers long-lasting 10w30 protection to prevent wear under the hottest and heaviest loaded conditions. AMSOIL Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil surpasses the North American AAMA, Japanese JASO and European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear viscosity.
     AMSOIL 10w30 resists oil breakdown from heat, blowby chemicals and oxygen longer than conventional oils can. AMSOIL 10w30 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, because of the advanced heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 10w30, it keeps engines, transmissions and gear boxes running in their most efficient temperature range, for top perfomance and long life
.
     AMSOIL 10w30 remains fluid at temperatures as low as -60°F  so it permits easy engine cranking for fast starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine quickly, reducing the rate of wear and increasing engine life. Conventional petroleum oils take a much greater time to warm up and begin lubricating, meaning that your engine runs metal to metal contact until the oil begins to lubricate.
     AMSOIL 10w30's synthetic formulation resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner than conventional oils. AMSOIL 10w30 has a superior detergent dispersant additive package that exhibits outstanding deposit control, when tested after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase.
     AMSOIL 10w30 contains powerful rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts and bearing materials.
     Due to its superior synthetic composition and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL 10w30 performs much longer than conventional petroleum and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations.

     AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil meets or exceeds the following specifications, and is designed to provide maximum benefits in gasoline-fueled engines.

     AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 10w30 with a conventional oil will shorten the drain period of your AMSOIL 10w30. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 10w30.
     The use of AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil will not void your new vehicle warranties. New vehicle warranties are based on the use of oils meeting specific API service classifications and SAE viscosity grades. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10w30 meets the current API and SAE requirements (as labeled) and is perfectly suited for use in any new vehicle stipulating those requirements in its owner's manual.

DRAIN INTERVALS
     Personal cars and light-duty trucks with non-turbo-charged gasoline engines can drain Amsoil 10w30 synthetic oil at 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
     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 one year, whichever comes first.
     High performance and racing engines: drain oil according to the findings of used oil analysis.
     Light-duty and non-turbocharged diesel engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer, if the findings of a used oil analysis program support extended drain intervals, or six months.
     Fleet and industrial engines should drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer, if the findings of a used oil analysis program support the extended drain intervals, or one year.

OIL FILTER CHANGE
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 7000-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 INC. warrants that the use of its products will not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when AMSOIL INC. products are used in full compliance with AMSOIL INC. recommendations.
