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)
