APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline engines, diesel engines
(API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5-04 A1/B1
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS M2C929-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASL 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 Synthetic 5W-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 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(non-stock) 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 (16
km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles,
extensive engine idling, use of AMSOIL motor oil in vehicles with more than 100,000
miles without prior use of AMSOIL motor oil, daily short trip driving less than 10
miles (16 km), 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.
