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.
