PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil 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
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.
