PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil provides superior protection
and performance in the most severe automotive driving
conditions. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic
10W-40 Motor Oil provides a wide range of protection
in all four-cycle gasoline and diesel
engines, including pickups, RVs,
cars and off-highway vehicles.
It is recommended for use in 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 10W-40 Motor Oil resists
vaporization. In fact, according to the
NOACK Volatility Test, which measures the weight loss
of an oil due to evaporation, AMSOIL High Performance
10W-40 only loses 7.0 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 High Performance
10W-40 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 10W-40 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 High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil keep engines running in their
optimum temperature range for top
performance and long life.
PROVIDES
HIGH SHEAR STABILITY
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 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 High Performance
Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil maintains
an extremely protective viscosity of 3.93 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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low
as -54°F (-48°C),
permitting easy engine cranking for quick
starts. During sub-zero
temperatures, it flows to all parts of
the engine much quicker than conventional petroleum
oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear
and increasing engine life.
RESISTS
DEPOSIT FORMATION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is highly resistant
to oxidation, running significantly
cleaner than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL
10W-40 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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
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 High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil features a superior synthetic
composition and advanced performance
additives, performing much longer than
competing conventional and other
synthetic oils. No
other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile
or one-year drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil may be used in gasoline
or diesel engines and is recommended
for applications requiring the following specifications:
- API SG, SH, SJ, CF, CF-2, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4
- ACEA A2, A3, B2, B3, E2, E3
- CHRYSLER MS 6395-H
- CUMMINS CES 20071, 20072, 20076
- FORD WSS-M2C 153G
- MERCEDES-BENZ 226.1, 227.1, 228.3
- MACK EO-L, EO-M, EO-M+
- VOLVO VDS, VDS-2
- VOLKSWAGEN 501.01, 505
- ALLISON C-3, C-4
- CATERPILLAR TO-2, TO-3
- JASO MA (Motorcycle)
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40
Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum
oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 10W-40 with
a conventional oil will shorten
the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-40. Engine oil
additives or after-market products
are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL 10W-40.
SERVICE
LIFE
- In personal cars and light-duty trucks with non-turbocharged
gasoline engines, drain oil at 25,000 miles
or one-year intervals, whichever comes
first.
- In turbocharged gasoline engines,
change oil at three 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 non-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 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 motorcycle engines, change oil according to manufacturer's
recommendations, without oil filtration. With oil filtration
(AMSOIL SDF & SMF Filters), up to 2 times longer
than manufacturer's recommendations or 6 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 three 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.
Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine
manufacturer's recommended filter change interval.
