Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines
today are built for fuel efficiency and
power. AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and
power without the sacrifice in wear
protection that comes with many
fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing
shows AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil dramatically outperforms
popular conventional and synthetic motor
oils of much higher viscosity in wear
protection (see chart).

Fuel
Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil efficiently transfers energy from
the engine to the drivetrain. Its low
coefficient of friction inhibits the
energy loss to "drag" common to high
viscosity oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel
efficiency may use AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of
5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
High
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil protects in high temperatures better
than the conventional and synthetic oils
tested, regardless of viscosity (see
chart). Even after extended service in
the engine, Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil maintains its ability to
protect in high temperatures.
Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is specially formulated for superior
cold temperature engine protection.
Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity
in extremely low temperatures, so it
flows quickly and reliably to allow easy
starting and immediate lubricating
protection.
Motorists seeking cold temperature
dependability and protection may use
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor
oils.
Heat
Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is highly resistant to volatility.
For example, in heat that causes
conventional motor oils to lose as much
as 25 percent of their mass, AMSOIL
Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
loses less than ten percent.
AMSOIL
Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil's
resistance to volatility keeps oil
consumption extremely low and, more
importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly
lubricated and protected. Its resistance
to volatility also helps keep fuel
efficiency high and emissions low.
Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil remains free of sludge, varnish and
other by-products of high temperature
degradation. With no deposits to foul
them, engines stay cleaner longer for
top performance and efficiency and
maximum service life.
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil is highly shear-resistant. With
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil's excellent viscosity retention, the
protection that goes into the engine is
the protection that stays in the engine,
even over an extended course of severe
service.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based
oils or other synthetic oils. However, a
mixture of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may
offer a shorter service life than pure
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil does.
SERVICE LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks
with non-turbocharged gasoline engines:
drain oil at 35,000-mile or one-year
intervals, whichever comes first.
In
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.
In high
performance and racing engines: drain
oil according to the findings of used
oil analysis.
In
light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel
engines: drain oil at intervals up to
twice as long as those recommended by
the engine manufacturer or six months,
whichever comes first.
In
fleet and industrial engines: drain oil
at intervals up to two times as long as
those recommended by the engine
manufacturer if the findings of a used
oil analysis program support the
extended drain intervals.
AMSOIL
Oil Filters should be changed at
12,500-mile or six-month intervals
(whichever comes first) in gasoline
engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should
be changed at the engine manufacturer's
recommended filter change intervals.
|
AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils are fully compatible
with conventional motor oil. For
best results, however, use
AMSOIL
Engine Flush, then install
AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.
For maximum
engine protection, use an AMSOIL
Oil Filter and an AMSOIL
Air Filter.
Note: Most quick lube service
centers will install these
products upon request or install
them yourself. |
