AMSOIL Synthetic Motor OilsAMSOIL synthetic motor oils dramatically outperform conventional motor oils. Theyreduce friction, heat and wear for maximum power, performance and fuel efficiency.

What makes AMSOIL synthetic motor oils so good?The molecular uniformity and purity of synthetic oilsallows them to protect and lubricate engines betterand more efficiently than conventional oils in all operating conditions. Synthetics lubricate and protectquickly in cold temperatures, maintain a dependablelubricating film in normal operating temperatures andshield moving parts from damage and wear duringhigh-stress, high-temperature operation. AMSOILsynthetic motor oils exceed the most demandingworldwide performance standards and meet warrantyrequirements for all domestic and imported motorvehicle engines.

The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high-temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker andheavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economyand increased oil consumption, wear and emissions.

AMSOIL High-Performance OilsAMSOIL High-Performance Synthetic Motor Oils(ASM, ASL, ATM) are specially formulated to operatein high-temperature/high-stress engines, such as thosein sport utility vehicles, motor homes, pickup trucksand gasoline-powered passenger vehicles.

AMSOIL High-Performance Synthetic Motor Oilsprovide maximum TBN and dispersant protection tocontrol acid and soot in diesel engines. They also provide high levels of key anti-wear chemistries andhave outstanding ability to maintain a dependablelubricating film of protection in stressful operatingconditions – like those experienced by sport utilityvehicles, motor homes and pickup trucks.

AMSOIL XL Motor OilsAMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils (XLM, XLF,XLT, XLO) are made to deliver 7,500 miles or sixmonths of service between oil changes (or longerwhen relying on factory-installed oil monitoring sys-tems). These oils provide outstanding wear protectionand can increase power, performance and fuel econ-omy in high and low temperatures.

AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor OilsAMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 PremiumProtection Motor Oils (AMO, ARO) are universal oilsspecially formulated to provide superior protection andperformance in a wide variety of demanding applica-tions. By incorporating high-quality synthetic basestocks and additives, AMSOIL Premium ProtectionOils exceed the needs of large and small gasoline ordiesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motorhomes, small utility equipment, farm equipment andmarine applications. Their high-zinc formulation pro-vides the extra anti-wear protection required by engineswith flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs.

AMSOIL Motorcycle OilsAMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils (MCT, MCF,MCV) are premium oils designed for those whodemand the absolute best lubrication for their motor-cycles. They are specially formulated to excel in allareas unique to motorcycles, including high engineRPM, wet-clutch lubrication, high temperatures,extreme-pressure regions of gears and chains and preventing the formation of rust common to short trips and storage.

The Viscosity Shear Stability Test determines how well an oilretains its viscosity when submitted to the high heat and

shearing forces within motorcycleengines. Engines operating at highRPM and those that share a commonoil sump with the transmission areparticularly subject to high shearrates. The oils that perform well arethose that show little or no viscosityloss.

AMSOIL Ea Oil FiltersAMSOIL Ea Oil Filters for automobile and light-truck applications have the best efficiency rating inthe industry. They also have significantly lowerrestriction than conventional cellulose media filters.The small synthetic nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea OilFilters trap smaller particles and hold more contami-nants, resulting in lower restriction. During the enginewarm-up period, an Ea Oil Filter allows the oil toflow through the filter at colder temperatures than atypical cellulose filter does. The additional filteringtime decreases engine wear. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filtersare guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year, which-ever comes first, when used in conjunction withAMSOIL synthetic motor oil.

AMSOIL Ea Air FiltersAMSOIL Ea Air Filters’ synthetic nanofiber mediaremoves five times more dust than traditional cellu-lose filter media alone and 50 times more dust thanwet-gauze filter media. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters aredesigned to provide superior efficiency, better air flowand more capacity, and they are cleanable for longlife. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are guaranteed for100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first.They remain effective for 25,000 miles or one yearbefore requiring cleaning.

AMSOIL Ea By-Pass FiltersAMSOIL Ea By-Pass Oil Filters provide enhanced filtration protection against wear and oil degradation.Working in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow oilfilter, AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filters operate by filteringoil on a “partial-flow” basis. They draw approxi-mately 10 percent of the oil pump’s capacity at anyone time and trap the extremely small, wear-causingcontaminants that full-flow filters can’t remove.AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filters employ a high-efficiencyby-pass filter element that is also a soot removaldevice. These filters remove 39 percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal efficiency increases approximately 10 to 14 percentwhen Ea By-Pass Filters are used in conjunction witha standard full-flow filter.

AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil FiltrationThe AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil Filtration Systemcombines an AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter and an Ea By-

Pass Filter on a single mount that may be placed any-where space allows in the engine compartment, forease of serviceability.

The dual remote system increases the circulating oilvolume in the engine. That helps the oil stay cleanerand last longer, and it helps regulate engine tempera-ture, which promotes long engine life.

AMSOIL ATFs resist thermal and oxidative degra-dation longer than conventional transmission fluids,protecting components from damaging sludge andvarnish deposits, avoiding component overheatingand helping to ensure cooler, smoother transmissionoperation. AMSOIL ATFs also offer substantiallybetter cold-temperature fluidity than required by cur-rent automatic transmission fluid specifications andare formulated to provide easier starting, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and improved fuel economy.

AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluidsare engineered to deliver smooth shifting and long,trouble-free transmission life for extended drain intervals. Transmissions usually operate under severe-service conditions and are subjected to extensiveidling, frequent short trips, cold-temperature driving,sustained hot-weather driving or trailer towing. Whenconventional transmission fluid is used under severeservice, it should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000miles. AMSOIL ATFs can go longer with changeintervals up to 60,000 miles in severe service, up to100,000 miles in normal service.
