PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL)
delivers extraordinary lubrication in
all types of automotive gasoline
engines. By combining the industry
premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL
premium additives, AMSOIL ASL exceeds
the higher performance demands of modern
engines. It withstands the stress of
higher horsepower, higher heat and
complicated emission control systems.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil
consistently outperforms competitive
conventional and synthetic motor oils.
It delivers long-lasting performance and
protection.
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.
Extends Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil can
extend drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional oils. Its
unique synthetic formulation and long
drain additive system are very stable,
resisting oxidation and neutralizing
acids. AMSOIL ASL delivers the best
possible engine protection, cleanliness
and performance over extended drain
intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance
and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel
Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is
designed to maximize energy efficiency
for improved fuel economy. Unlike
conventional oils, its uniform molecular
structure helps it flow more freely and
reduce friction between metal surfaces.
Anti-friction additives are included to
further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine
Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil
provides outstanding anti-wear
protection. It has excellent viscosity
film strength to separate metal surfaces
and robust anti-wear additives to
further reduce wear in metal-to-metal
contact regions for improved engine
life.
Reduces Oil
Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil
gets hot, causing high oil consumption
and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30
Motor Oil has the lowest volatility rate
of the oils tested, making it the best
at controlling volatility-related oil
consumption and emissions (see chart
below).
Excels in
Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil resists
thermal (heat) breakdown better than
conventional oils. It is heavily
fortified with detergent and dispersant
additives to prevent sludge deposits and
keep engines clean. And unlike
conventional oils, AMSOIL ASL contains
no wax. It stays fluid down to -58°F for
improved cold temperature oil flow,
reduced bearing wear and easier starting
(see chart below).

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is
recommended for gasoline engines, diesel
engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other
applications requiring any of the listed
worldwide specifications:
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASL 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 motor
oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is
recommended for extended drain intervals
in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles
or one year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles
or one year, whichever comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the
time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or
one year, whichever comes first (other
brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle
applications, extend the oil change
interval according to oil analysis or
follow the OEM* drain interval.
*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.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently
traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km)
at a time and not operating under severe
service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles,
commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive
engine idling, first and subsequent use
of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000
miles, daily short trip driving less
than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing,
plowing, hauling or dusty condition
driving.
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 full-flow oil filters.
