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.
