APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline
engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications
requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5 A1/B1
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS M2C929-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 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 motor oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for extended
drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000
miles or one year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000
miles or one year, whichever comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time
of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes
first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle
applications, extend the oil change interval according to
oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM – Original Equipment
Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified
conditions(non-stock) are excluded from extended drain
recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer
chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems;
and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal
operation by the manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good
working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume
excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak
anti-freeze and have properly working emission control systems.
AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the
installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling
greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under
severe service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or
fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, use of AMSOIL motor oil
in vehicles with more than 100,000 miles without prior use of
AMSOIL motor oil, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16
km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition
driving.
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 full-flow oil filters.
