PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is specially
formulated to provide superior protection and performance in a
wide variety of demanding applications. By incorporating high
quality synthetic base stocks and additives, AMSOIL Premium
Protection Oil exceeds the needs of large and small gasoline or
diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor homes,
maintenance equipment, heavy equipment, street rods and marine
applications. AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists oxidation,
neutralizes acids, inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and
protects against deposits. It is ideal for high mileage
vehicles and high-stress vehicles subject to hot temperatures,
heavy hauling, trailer pulling or off road use. AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil provides
flexibility and performance beyond conventional oils for
convenience and trouble free operation.
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.
Provides Superior
Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is a high
viscosity oil engineered to protect against metal-to-metal
contact. It resists viscosity shear and is formulated with a
heavy treatment of anti-wear additives for excellent protection
of gears, bearings, cam lobes and other high-pressure
components in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL Premium
Protection Synthetic Motor Oil helps extend engine
life.
Exceeds the
Requirements of Wet Clutch Transmissions AMSOIL
Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains no friction
modifiers, making it ideal for motorcycles, maintenance
equipment and other wet clutch transmission applications.
Formulated to prevent clutch glazing and slippage, it insures
smooth clutch engagement and long term, dependable transmission
operation. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil reduces clutch wear for extended transmission
life.
Resists Oxidation
and High Temperature Breakdown AMSOIL Premium
Protection Synthetic Motor Oil overcomes the thermal
deficiencies common to conventional petroleum oils.
Volatilization (burn-off), oxidation and excessive deposit
formation from high heat are greatly reduced. Viscosity
thickening is controlled and engines run clean, promoting
cooler operation and long engine life in air or liquid cooled
engines.
Extends Drain
Intervals in Gasoline and Diesel Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive
technology exceeds the requirements of both gasoline and diesel
engines. AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor Oil neutralizes acids,
disperses soot and lasts longer in service than conventional
oils.
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil
is a multi-use, premium synthetic lubricant for applications
that require or benefit from a higher viscosity oil. It is
recommended for air and liquid cooled, large or small gasoline
and diesel engines, transmissions and chaincase applications
where 20W-50 oil is required with any of the following
specifications:
- API SL/CF, CI-4 Plus
- API SJ, SH, SG...
- MIL-PRF-2104G
- JASO MA (Motorcycle)
MIXING
AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic
20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil 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 Synthetic Oils.
SERVICE
LIFE AMSOIL Synthetic
20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is recommended for use up
to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in
unmodified(1), mechanically
sound(2) automotive gasoline or diesel engines.
In motorcycles, small engines, stationary engines, heavy
equipment and other applications, extend drain intervals based
on oil analysis or follow the manufacturer recommended drain
interval.
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 and replace at the time of oil change. Other oil
filters should be changed at standard OEM*
intervals.
*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.
