specially formulated for the lubrication needs of modern
European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated
with advanced AMSOIL synthetic base stocks, premium additives
and a 5W-40 viscosity rating, AMSOIL AFL is the preferred oil
for virtually all European automobiles, especially turbo
charged models. It is one of the only oils in North America to
be recommended for the latest specifications of all three major
European automakers - Volkswagen (Audi), BMW and Mercedes-Benz
and the latest North American API specification. AMSOIL AFL is
highly versatile for multiple applications.
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.
Maximum Engine
Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula contains high quality
anti-wear additives and surpasses the tough ACEA oil
specifications for high temperature/high shear viscosity. It
provides outstanding protection in high RPM, hot running
engines and delivers dependable long-term performance for the
extended drain intervals set by European automakers.
Superior Engine
Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and
detergency properties of AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula
keep engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent sludge
and varnish deposits for reduced oil consumption, extended
engine life and maximum overall performance.
Minimizes Exhaust
Emissions
AMSOIL European Car Formula is designed for newer vehicle
emission control systems. It meets current industry and vehicle
manufacturer requirements for long life protection of gasoline
vehicle catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters
(DPF).
All Season
Performance
The broad 5W-40 viscosity rating, low volatility (burn-off) and
wax free nature of AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula make
it excellent for hot and cold temperatures. Engine wear is
reduced, oil thickening is controlled and vehicles start easier
in cold temperatures.
