PRODUCT
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. AMSOIL
Premium Protection Oil resists
oxidation, neutralizes acids,
inhibits corrosion, reduces wear
and protects against deposits.
It is ideal for high mileage
vehicles and high-stress
vehicles subject to hot
temperatures, heavy hauling,
trailer pulling or off road use.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium
Protection Motor Oil provides
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 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...
-
MIL-PRF-2104G
-
JASO MA (Motorcycle)
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 use up to 15,000
miles or one year, whichever
comes first, in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) automotive
gasoline or diesel engines. In
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.
*OEM - Original Equipment
Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under
modified conditions are excluded
from extended drain
recommendations. Examples
include the use of performance
computer chips; non-OEM approved
exhaust, fuel or air induction
systems; and the use of fuels
other than those recommended for
normal operation by the
manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound engines
are in good working condition
and do not, for example, leak
oil or consume excessive
amounts, are not worn out, do
not overheat, do not leak
anti-freeze and have properly
working emission control
systems. AMSOIL recommends
repairing malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of
AMSOIL synthetic oils.
