PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil (ASO)
is formulated specifically to meet the special needs of
today’s high-tech air- and water-cooled fourstroke
motorized scooters, offering unsurpassed wear protection and
friction reduction for longer equipment life and cooler operating
temperatures. Its exceptional shear stability ensures consistent
viscosity protection and provides additional protection for
transmissions and gear boxes, while its friction modifier-free
formulation ensures wet clutch compatibility and smooth clutch
operation. A special anti-corrosion additive package provides
long-term protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Shear Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications increase shear,
causing conventional lubricants to lose viscosity and reduce
their ability to control wear, resulting in shorter engine life.
The synthetic formulation of Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter
Oil effectively resists shear, delivering consistent viscosity
protection for unsurpassed wear protection and extended equipment
life.
Thermal Stability
The operating temperatures of scooter engines fluctuate greatly,
especially with air-cooled engines. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil resists breakdown at elevated temperatures,
maintaining its protective viscosity for maximum wear
control.
Transmission and Gear Box
Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine and transmission and/or
gear box share the same oil reservoir. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from
mechanical activity, providing superior protection for
transmissions and gear boxes.
Wet Clutch Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch to engage and disengage
the engine from the drivetrain. In many cases, this clutch is
immersed in the same oil used in the engine and transmission.
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil contains no friction
modifiers and is wet clutch compatible, offering smooth clutch
operation and increased clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended periods of inactivity
and storage, exposing the equipment to internal rust and
corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is formulated
with a special anti-corrosion additive package designed to
provide long-term protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is recommended for
use wherever SAE 10W-40 motor oil is specified in air- and
watercooled four-stroke motorized scooter engines, transmissions
and gear boxes that require the following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet clutch)
- ISO-L-EMA2
Engine manufacturers include, but are not
limited to, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia,
Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain
intervals.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter 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.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used
for the intended application and according to the recommendations
in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available
upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the AMSOIL Website. Keep Out of Reach of
Children. Don’t pollute. Return used oil to collection
centers.
