PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil (MCT) is a premium oil
designed for those who demand the absolute best lubrication for
their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is the result of extensive
research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas
unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet clutch
lubrication, extreme pressure regions of gears and rust common to
short drives and storage.
AMSOIL MCT is multi-functional and fulfills the
requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It
outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
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.
Reduces Friction, Heat and
Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil. AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines running cool by
effectively reducing friction and heat, and it contains a heavy
treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of the
operating conditions (see Four-Ball Wear Test graph below).
AMSOIL MCT is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels
of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to
volatility (see NOACK Volatility graph below) and engineered to
prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine
cleanliness.

Provides Extreme Pressure Quality
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCT, there is no need for separate transmission
lubricants. It is shear stable and will not thin out from
mechanical activity. AMSOIL MCT performs like a gear lube without
the negative effects of extreme pressure additives, such as poor
wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short
drives. Rust can cause major damage such as uncontrolled wear,
compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however,
comes by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many
motorcycle oils, AMSOIL MCT contains special anti-rust agents
that deliver superior rust protection. With its high TBN (see TBN
graph below), AMSOIL 10W-30 provides greater protection from acid
corrosion and helps maintain internal engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch
Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil contains no friction
modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch
engagement. It controls heat and prevents slippage and glazing,
promoting longer clutch life.


APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for liquid-
or air-cooled 4-stroke motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and UTVs
requiring an SAE 10W-30 fluid. It meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements and is recommended for transmissions on both 4- and
2-stroke motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is recommended for Honda®,
Yamaha®, Suzuki® and Kawasaki® motorcycles and
scooters, as well as Arctic Cat®, Can-Am®, Honda®,
Kawasaki® and Suzuki® ATVs and UTVs. Not recommended
where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with
conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may
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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer
change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first,
in engines and transmissions. When using an engine filter other
than AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard intervals.
For “off road” use, change AMSOIL
MCT at motorcycle manufacturer intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded from
extended drain interval recommendations. Oil changes
are at the owner's discretion.
