PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil (MCF) is a premium oil designed for
those who demand the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL
MCF is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated to
excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet
clutch lubrication, extreme pressure regions of gears and rust common to
short drives and storage.
AMSOIL MCF
is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and
foreign motorcycles. It outperforms other conventional and synthetic
motorcycle oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in 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 motorcycle.
Reduces Friction,
Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has the best high temperature film strength
(see High Temperature Viscosity Protection graph below) of all oils tested
and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear
regardless of the operating conditions (see Wear Comparison graph at right).
AMSOIL MCF is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of
oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and
engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior
engine cleanliness.

Provides Extreme
Pressure Quality Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCF, there is no need for separate transmission lubricants. It
is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity.
AMSOIL MCF performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme
pressure additives. In the FZG gear test, AMSOIL MCF achieved a perfect
score with a “zero” wear rating (see photos below).

Delivers Superior
Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short
drives. Rust can cause major damage such as uncontrolled wear, compression
loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however, comes by design and is not
natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL MCF contains
special anti-rust agents. It passes the ASTM D-1748 humidity cabinet rust
test and clearly demonstrates superior rust protection (see photos below).

Provides Excellent
Wet Clutch Performance
AMSOIL MCF contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and
positive clutch engagement. AMSOIL MCF controls heat and prevents slippage
and glazing, and its high TBN resists acids that can degrade clutch
material, helping improve clutch life.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for liquid or
air-cooled 4-stroke engines. It meets SAE 80W/90, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements and is recommended for transmissions on both 4- and 2-stroke
motorcycles. AMSOIL MCF is recommended for Honda®, Kawasaki®, Yamaha®,
Suzuki®, BMW®, Husqvarna®, KTM® and other motorcycles where 10W-40 or 20W-40
engine oils or SAE 80W/90, GL-1 gear oils are used. Not recommended for
shaft drive hypoid gears or where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional and
synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may 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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
For “on road” use in engines and transmissions, change AMSOIL MCF and AMSOIL
engine oil filter at twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval or
one year, whichever comes first. Change other brand oil filters at standard
intervals.
For “off road” use in engines and
transmissions, change AMSOIL MCF at the standard motorcycle manufacturer
change interval.
For racing or in engines modified from the
original factory design, no change interval recommendation is made. Oil
changes are at the owner’s discretion.
