(HT/HS) viscosity. It provides outstanding protection in high-rpm, hot-running engines
and delivers dependable long-term performance for the extended drain intervals
recommended by European vehicle manufacturers.
Superior Engine Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and detergency properties of AMSOIL
European Car Formula help keep engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent
sludge and varnish deposits, reduce oil consumption, extend engine life and provide
maximum overall performance.
All-Season Performance
The broad 5W-40 viscosity rating, low volatility (burn-off) and wax-free nature of
AMSOIL European Car Formula make it excellent for hot and cold temperatures.
It helps reduce engine wear, control oil thickening and provide easier cold starts.
Excellent For Turbochargers
AMSOIL European Car Formula’s robust formulation delivers outstanding protection
against the extremely high temperatures produced by turbochargers.
