PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is specially formulated to
provide superior protection and performance in a wide variety of
demanding applications. By incorporating high-quality synthetic
base
stocks and a superior high-zinc additive package, AMSOIL Premium
Protection Oil exceeds the needs of large and small gasoline or
diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor homes,
maintenance equipment, heavy equipment, street rods and marine
applications. It is ideal for high-mileage vehicles, vehicles
with flat-tappet cams and high-stress vehicles subject to hot
temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer pulling or off-road use.
AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes
acids, inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and protects against
deposits. It provides the extra anti-wear protection required by
engines with flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs.
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil offers
flexibility and performance beyond conventional oil for
convenience and trouble-free operation.
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.
Provides Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is a high
viscosity oil engineered to protect against metal-to-metal
contact. It resists viscosity shear and is formulated with a
heavy treatment of zinc and other anti-wear additives for
excellent protection of gears, bearings, cam lobes and other
high-pressure components in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL
Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil helps extend engine
life.
Exceeds the Requirements of Wet Clutch
Transmissions
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains no
friction modifiers, making it ideal for motorcycles, maintenance
equipment and other wet clutch transmission applications.
Formulated to prevent clutch glazing and slippage, it insures
smooth clutch engagement and long term, dependable transmission
operation. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil reduces clutch wear
for extended transmission life.
Resists Oxidation and High Temperature
Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is specifically
formulated to overcome the thermal deficiencies
common to conventional petroleum oils. Volatilization (burn-off),
oxidation and excessive deposit formation from high heat are
greatly reduced. Viscosity thickening is controlled and engines
run cleaner, promoting cooler operation and long engine life in
air- or liquid-cooled engines. In addition, the higher viscosity
nature of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil may help reduce motor
oil consumption in equipment that experiences higher-than-normal
usage rates when lower-viscosity lubricants are installed.
Extends Drain Intervals in Gasoline and Diesel
Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive technology
exceeds the requirements of both gasoline and diesel engines.
AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor Oil neutralizes acids, disperses
soot and lasts longer in service than conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is a
multi-use, premium synthetic lubricant for applications that
require or benefit from a higher viscosity oil. It is recommended
for air and liquid cooled, large or small gasoline and diesel
engines, transmissions and chaincase applications where 20W-50
oil is required with any of the following specifications:
- API SL, SJ, SH, SG
- API CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CF, CF-2
- ISO-L-EMA • Caterpillar ECF-1
- JASO MA (Motorcycle) • MAN 271/3275 • MTU Type
2
- Cummins 20071/20072/20076/20077 • VDS-2, VDS
- Mack EO-M+ • ACEA A3/B3, E3, E5 • MB 228.3,
229.1
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor 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. AMSOIL does
not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
recommended for extended intervals in unmodified,
mechanically-sound vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Motorcycles, Small Engines, Stationary Engines,
Heavy Equipment and Other Applications
•Extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or follow the
manufacturer-recommended drain interval.
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 Ea™ Full-Flow Oil Filters
and replace at the time of oil change. Other oil filters should
be changed at standard OEM* intervals.
