PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic
20W-50 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 20W-50 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 20W-50 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 20W-50 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 20W-50 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 20W-50 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
20W-50 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 20W-50
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.
