PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil
(ASO) is formulated specifically to meet the special
needs of today’s high-tech air- and water-cooled fourstroke
motorized scooters, offering unsurpassed wear
protection and friction reduction for longer equipment life
and cooler operating temperatures. Its exceptional shear
stability ensures consistent viscosity protection and
provides additional protection for transmissions and
gear boxes, while its friction modifier-free formulation
ensures wet clutch compatibility and smooth clutch
operation. A special anti-corrosion additive package
provides long-term protection during periods of inactivity
and storage.
Shear Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications
increase shear, causing conventional lubricants to lose
viscosity and reduce their ability to control wear, resulting
in shorter engine life. The synthetic formulation of
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil effectively resists
shear, delivering consistent viscosity protection for
unsurpassed wear protection and extended
equipment life.
Thermal Stability
The operating temperatures of
scooter engines fluctuate greatly,
especially with air-cooled engines.
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil resists breakdown at
elevated temperatures, maintaining
its protective viscosity for
maximum wear control.
Transmission and
Gear Box Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine and transmission
and/or gear box share the same oil reservoir.
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is absolutely
shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity,
providing superior protection for transmissions and
gear boxes.
Wet Clutch Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch to engage and
disengage the engine from the drivetrain. In many cases,
this clutch is immersed in the same oil used in the
engine and transmission. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil contains no friction modifiers and is wet
clutch compatible, offering smooth clutch operation
and increased clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended periods of inactivity
and storage, exposing the equipment to
internal rust and corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil is formulated
with a special anti-corrosion
additive package designed to
provide long-term protection
during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Applications and
Recommendations

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter 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.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health
concerns when used for the intended application
and according to the recommendations in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An
MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the AMSOIL Website.
