PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil (ANG) was
developed to deliver unsurpassed performance in natural
gas engines calling for an SAE 40, low-ash (<.50%)
lubricant.
Performance Without Compromise
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil’s low-ash formulation
minimizes combustion chamber deposit formation,
critical in continuous operation applications. AMSOIL ANG
also significantly reduces valve recession, a common
problem with other low-ash oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is thermally stable, allowing it to combat
oxidation, oil degradation and internal deposit formation.
Maintains Viscosity
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a true straight-grade SAE
40 oil, offering maximum protection against viscosity loss
while minimizing internal oil consumption. Field studies
have reported up to a 50 percent reduction in internal oil consumption
when compared to competitive oils. Due to its synthetic
formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil does
not thicken as readily and qualifies as a multi-grade SAE
20W-40 oil without the disadvantages that come with the
use of viscosity improvers. This allows the oil to be used
over a broader ambient temperature range and in many
cases eliminates the need for a conventional multi-grade
product.
Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil may be used for
extended drain intervals when monitored by an oil
analysis program. Periodic oil analysis should be conducted
at the engine manufacturer’s recommended
drain intervals. Change the oil filter at the recommended
engine manufacturer’s drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible
with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic
lubricants; however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce the drain
interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil. Engine
oil additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
