PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil (ASE) is a robust
formulation designed for hot temperature, severe service operation
of small engines where routine maintenance is often difficult or
infrequent. It is formulated with premium synthetic base oils that
exceed both 10W-30 multi-grade and SAE 30 straight-grade viscosity
requirements. Unlike conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ASE has
a naturally high viscosity index and does not contain paraffin
(wax). It has a -38°F pour point and qualifies for SAE 10W, making
it an "all season," multi-grade lubricant with a wide operating
temperature range. As an SAE 30 weight motor oil, AMSOIL ASE
provides outstanding protection for hot operating engines. Formula
4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is a commercial grade lubricant that
helps improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs through
superior engine protection.
Resists Heat and Reduces Oil Consumption
AMSOIL engineered Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil to withstand
the high temperatures of hard working engines. It effectively
resists oxidation and oil vaporization to control oil
thickening and reduce oil consumption. AMSOIL
ASE lasts longer in service than conventional oils and keeps engines
clean for peak operating efficiency.
Excellent For
Transmission Systems
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is a shear stable
formulation that contains no friction modifiers. It will not break
down during rigorous mechanical activity, making it ideal for
hydraulic or hydrostatic systems and chain cases. It is wet clutch
compatible and designed to prevent clutch slippage in commercial or
recreational transmissions. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine
Oil protects gears and bearings during high-demand, commercial duty
service.
Superior Protection
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is formulated with high
levels of premium anti-wear and detergent additive technology. It
provides severe service protection of pistons, bearings and gears
and effectively neutralizes acids from combustion by-products prone
to small engines. Anti-rust additives further protect equipment
during storage or infrequent use.
Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is recommended for use
wherever SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 oil is specified in gasoline or diesel
engines, transmissions, hydraulics and chain cases that require the
following:
- API SL, SJ, SH, SG...(Gasoline)
- API CF, CD (Diesel)
- JASO MA (Motorcycle Wet Clutch)
Engine manufacturers include - Briggs &
Stratton, Kohler, Honda, Tecumseh, Robin, Kawasaki, Onan, Kubota,

compressors.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine 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. Aftermarket oil
additives are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL motor oils.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.
