Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck
engines today are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Series
2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and power
without the sacrifice in wear protection that comes with many
fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing shows AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular
conventional and synthetic motor oils of much higher viscosity in
wear protection (see chart).
Fuel Efficient
Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the
drivetrain. Its low coefficient of friction inhibits the energy loss
to "drag" common to high viscosity oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in
fuel efficiency may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
High Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil protects in high temperatures better than do the
high-viscosity conventional and synthetic oils tested (see chart).
Even after extended service in the engine, Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high
temperatures.
Low Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil is specially formulated for superior cold temperature
engine protection. Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity in
extremely low temperatures, so it flows quickly and reliably to
allow easy starting and immediate lubricating protection.
Motorists seeking cold temperature
dependability and protection may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil in place of higher viscosity motor oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil is highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat
that causes conventional motor oils to lose as much as 25 percent of
their mass, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses less
than ten percent.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil's resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption extremely
low and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated
and protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep fuel
efficiency high and emissions low.
Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil remains free of sludge, varnish and other by-products of
high temperature degradation. With no deposits to foul them, engines
stay cleaner longer for top performance and efficiency and maximum
service life.
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil's excellent viscosity retention, the
protection that goes into the engine is the protection that stays in
the engine, even over an extended course of severe service.
Mixing
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30
Motor Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or other synthetic
oils. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service life than pure
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.
Service Life
In personal cars and light-duty
trucks with non-turbocharged gasoline engines: change the oil at
35,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
In turbocharged gasoline engines
and occasionally used gasoline engines: change the oil at intervals
up to three times longer recommended by the engine manufacturer or
six months, whichever comes first.
In high performance and racing
engines: specified by Owner Experience/Oil Analysis.
Marine four-cycle gasoline engines
and infrequently used automotive four-cycle gasoline engines: drain
oil at intervals up to three times longer than those recommended by
the engine manufacturer, or one year, whichever comes first.
In fleet and industrial engines:
drain oil at intervals up to two times longer than recommended by
the manufacturer, or six months, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL Oil Filters should be
changed at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes
first) in gasoline engines. If a Hastings or other filter is used,
filter should be changed at manufacturer's recommendation.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are
fully compatible with conventional motor oil. For best results,
however, use
AMSOIL Engine Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic motor
oil.
For maximum engine protection,
use an
AMSOIL Oil Filter and an
AMSOIL Air
Filter.
Note: Most quick lube
service centers will install these products upon request or
install them yourself. |
