PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil (ATM) delivers extraordinary lubrication in all
types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining the industry premier synthetic
technology with AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL ATM exceeds the higher performance demands
of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and
complicated emission control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil consistently
outperforms competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting
performance and protection.
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 vehicle.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended
for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system are
very stable, resisting oxidation and neutralizing acids. AMSOIL ATM delivers the best
possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals,
reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved
fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more
freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to
further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has
excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives
to further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for improved engine life.
 Reduces Oil
Consumption and Emissions
Evaporation (volatility) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and
emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil has the lowest evaporation rate of the oils
tested, making it the best at controlling evaporation-related oil consumption and emissions
(see chart).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown better than conventional
oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to prevent sludge
deposits and keep engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ATM contains no wax.
It stays fluid down to -58°F for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear
and easier starting (see chart).
APPLICATIONS:
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for use in gasoline engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A1/B1, A5/B5
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS-M2C205-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ATM is compatible with conventional
and syntheticmotor 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 Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is
recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filter at the time of oil
change up to 25,000 miles or one year service life, whichever comes first (other
brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all other 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
manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and within the factory
design settings. Mechanically sound engines, for example, do not leak oil or
consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal
or external anti-freeze leaks and have properly working emission control systems.
AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of
AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal transportation vehicles frequently traveling
greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles,
excessive engine idling, use of AMSOIL engine oil in vehicles with over 100,000
miles without prior regular use of AMSOIL engine oil, daily short trip driving
(less than 10 miles), 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 full-flow oil filters.
