PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (SSO) is the
industry benchmark in lubrication technology. Engineered with the
world’s finest synthetic base oils and high performance
additives, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is designed for those
who demand the absolute best in motor oil performance. The
exclusive “extended drain” formulation delivers
superior engine protection and maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL
Signature Series 0W-30 is a premium grade synthetic motor oil
that exceeds the requirements of modern, high-performance engines
and older engines. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30
motor oils and consistently outperforms competitive conventional
and synthetic motor 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.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lasts much
longer in service than conventional oils. Its unique synthetic
formulation and long-drain additive system resist oxidation and
neutralize the acids that shorten the service life of other oils.
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is formulated to deliver the best
possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over
extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and
waste-oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Efficiency
The lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil reduces energy loss from the
“drag” common to high viscosity oils. It is fortified
with additives that enhance its friction-reducing properties to
help further improve fuel efficiency.
Reduces Wear
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains
specialized anti-wear technology. Its durable, high-temperature
film strength effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce wear
even under the most grueling conditions. Tests prove that AMSOIL
Signature Series 0W-30 provides better protection against wear
than other motor oils (see graph below). AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 helps engines last longer.

Resists Heat, Reduces Oil Consumption and
Emissions
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is thermally
stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility
(burn-off). It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant
additives designed to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines
clean. Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption
and emissions.
Provides Outstanding Cold Flow Properties
Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 contains
no wax. Its exceptional -60°F cold flow properties ease
starting and reduce bearing wear.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended
for use in gasoline engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and
other applications requiring SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30 with the
following worldwide specifications:
• API SM/CF, SL, SJ …
• ILSAC GF-4, 3 …
• ACEA A5/B5
• GM 4718M, 6094M
• Ford WSS-M2C929-A
• Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
• VW 503.00
• Honda/Acura HTO-06
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 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 Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended
for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically
sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000
miles or one year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 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
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 (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles,
extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in
vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less
than 10 miles (16km), 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 Ea full-flow oil filters.
