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 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 delivers 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). 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/B5-04
• 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.
