quality anti-wear additives
and surpasses the tough ACEA
oil specifications for high
temperature/high shear
viscosity. It provides
outstanding protection in
high RPM, hot running
engines and delivers
dependable long-term
performance for the extended
drain intervals set by
European automakers.
Superior Engine Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation
stability, heat resistance
and detergency properties of
AMSOIL Synthetic European
Car Formula keep engines
clean. It is specially
designed to prevent sludge
and varnish deposits for
reduced oil consumption,
extended engine life and
maximum overall performance.
Minimizes Exhaust Emissions
AMSOIL European Car Formula
is designed for newer
vehicle emission control
systems. It meets current
industry and vehicle
manufacturer requirements
for long life protection of
gasoline vehicle catalytic
converters and diesel
particulate filters (DPF).
All
Season Performance
The broad 5W-40 viscosity
rating, low volatility
(burn-off) and wax free
nature of AMSOIL Synthetic
European Car Formula make it
excellent for hot and cold
temperatures. Engine wear is
reduced, oil thickening is
controlled and vehicles
start easier in cold
temperatures.
