PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is specially
formulated to provide superior protection and performance in the most
demanding applications. It provides a wide range of protection in all
four-cycle gasoline and diesel engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and
off-highway vehicles and is ideal for use in high-stress vehicles
subject to stop-and-go driving, short trips, high temperatures, frequent
trailer pulling and off-road use.
Resists High Temperature Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high temperatures, losing
up to 25 percent of their original weight. These vaporized oils
circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive
emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK
Volatility Test, which measures the weight loss of an oil due to
evaporation, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 only loses 6.0 percent of its
weight in high temperature service, surpassing rigorous European
standards set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature testing. The
superior vaporization resistance of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 keeps engine
wear, oil consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil
circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal
Breakdown
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating temperatures, producing
sludge and deposit build-up that contribute to corrosion, increased
engine wear and decreased fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil resists oil breakdown, maintaining its
cooling and lubricating properties and providing extended drain
intervals. It continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures
that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer capabilities
and high lubricity of AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil keep engines running in
their optimum temperature range for top performance and long life.
Provides High Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and
European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS)
viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads that cause
conventional oils to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL 20W-50
Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 4.9 cP at 302°F
(150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test,
significantly exceeding test limits.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains outstanding low temperature
fluidity, ensuring easy engine cranking for quick starts. During
sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much quicker
than conventional petroleum 20W-50 oils, greatly reducing the rate of
wear and increasing engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation,
running significantly cleaner than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL
20W-50 has a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when
tested after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still
exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion
inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum
bearing materials.
Provides Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil features a superior synthetic
composition and advanced performance additives, performing much longer
than competing conventional and synthetic oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil may be used in
gasoline or diesel engines requiring oils meeting the following
specifications.
- API SL/CF & CI-4+
- ACEA A3, 83, E2, E3, E5
- Chrysler MS 8809A
- Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077
- Ford ESR M2C 179A
- Daimler Chrysler 228.3, 229.1
- Mack EO-L, EO-M, EO-M+
- Volvo VDS, VDS-2
- Allison C-3, C-4
- Caterpillar TO-2, TO-3
- JASO-MA
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 20W-50 with a
conventional oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 20W-50. Engine
oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL 20W-50.
SERVICE LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks with nonturbocharged gasoline
engines, change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's recommended
drain interval or one year, whichever comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines, change
oil at two times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain interval or
six months, whichever comes first.
In high-performance and racing engines,
change oil at intervals specified by used oil analysis.
In light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel
engines, change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil analysis support
those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
In heavy-duty and turbocharged diesel
engines, change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil analysis support
those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes first.
In marine craft and occasionally used
gasoline engines, change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever comes first.
In fleet vehicles and industrial gasoline
engines, change oil at two times the engine manufacturer's recommended
drain interval or six months, whichever comes first.
If the vehicle is equipped with an AMSOIL
Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month
intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline engines and 7000-mile or
six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in diesel engines.
Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine manufacturer's
recommended filter change interval.
