DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
specially formulated to provide superior protection and
performance in a wide variety of demanding
applications. By incorporating high quality synthetic
base stocks and additives, AMSOIL Premium Protection
Oil exceeds the needs of large and small gasoline or
diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor
homes, maintenance equipment, heavy equipment, street
rods and marine applications. It is ideal for high
mileage vehicles with flat-tappet cams and high-stress
vehicles subject to hot temperatures, heavy hauling,
trailer pulling or off road use. AMSOIL Premium
Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes acids,
inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and protects against
deposits. It provides the extra anti-wear protection
required by engines with flat-tappet cams and
high-tension valve springs. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40
Premium Protection Motor Oil offers flexibility and
performance beyond conventional oils for convenience
and trouble free operation.
AMSOIL, the leader
in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the
world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil in
1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL The
First in Synthetics® to do the best job protecting your
engine.
Provides
Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
a high viscosity oil engineered to protect against
metal-to-metal contact. It resists viscosity shear and
is formulated with a heavy treatment of zinc and other
anti-wear additives for excellent protection of gears,
bearings, cam lobes and other high-pressure components
in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL Premium Protection
Synthetic Motor Oil helps extend engine
life.
Exceeds
the Requirements of Wet Clutch
Transmissions
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains
no friction modifiers, making it ideal for motorcycles,
maintenance equipment and other wet clutch transmission
applications. Formulated to prevent clutch glazing and
slippage, it insures smooth clutch engagement and long
term, dependable transmission operation.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
reduces clutch wear for extended transmission
life.
Resists
Oxidation and High Temperature Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil overcomes
the thermal deficiencies common to conventional
petroleum oils. Volatilization (burn-off), oxidation
and excessive deposit formation from high heat are
greatly reduced. Viscosity thickening is controlled and
engines run clean, promoting cooler operation and long
engine life in air or liquid cooled engines.
Extends
Drain Intervals in Gasoline and Diesel
Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive
technology exceeds the requirements of both gasoline
and diesel engines. AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor Oil
neutralizes acids, disperses soot and lasts longer in
service than conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection
Motor Oil is a multi-use, premium synthetic lubricant
for applications that require or benefit from a higher
viscosity oil. It is recommended for air and liquid
cooled, large or small gasoline and diesel engines,
transmissions and chaincase applications where 10W-40
oil is required with any of the following
specifications:
- API SL/CF, CI-4
Plus
- API SJ, SH,
SG...
- ISO-L-EMA
- JASO MA
(Motorcycle)
- Cummins 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor 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. AMSOIL does not support extended
drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket
oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic
Oils.
SERVICE
LIFE
AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
recommended for extended intervals in unmodified,
mechanically-sound vehicles or equipment as
follows:
Diesel
Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
Gasoline
Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
Motorcycles, Small Engines, Stationary
Engines, Heavy Equipment and Other
Applications
•Extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or follow
the manufacturer-recommended drain interval.
AMSOIL Ea™
Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended drain
intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil
and last longer than regular filters. For best
performance, use AMSOIL Ea™ Full-Flow Oil Filters and
replace at the time of oil change. Other oil filters
should be changed at standard OEM*
intervals.
