PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
Motor Oil is specially formulated to provide superior protection
and performance in a wide variety of demanding
applications. By incorporating high-quality synthetic base
stocks and a superior high-zinc additive package, AMSOIL
Premium Protection Oil exceeds the needs of large and
small gasoline or diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks,
motor homes, maintenance equipment, heavy equipment,
street rods and marine applications. It is ideal for
high-mileage vehicles, vehicles with flat-tappet cams and
high-stress vehicles subject to hot temperatures, heavy
hauling, trailer pulling or off-road use. AMSOIL Premium
Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes acids, inhibits corrosion,
reduces wear and protects against deposits. It
provides the extra anti-wear protection required by engines
with flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs.
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection
Motor Oil offers flexibility and performance beyond conventional
oil for convenience and trouble-free operation.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication,
produced the world’s first API qualified synthetic motor
oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL
The First in Synthetics® to do the best job protecting
your engine.
Provides Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oil is a high viscosity oil engineered
to protect against metal-to-metal contact. It resists viscosity
shear and is formulated with a heavy treatment
of zinc and other anti-wear additives for excellent protection of gears,
bearings, cam lobes and other high-pressure components
in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL Premium
Protection Synthetic Motor Oil helps extend engine life.
Exceeds the Requirements of
Wet Clutch Transmissions
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains
no friction modifiers, making it ideal for motorcycles,
maintenance equipment and other wet clutch
transmission applications. Formulated to prevent clutch
glazing and slippage, it helps insure smooth clutch engagement
and long term, dependable transmission operation. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil
reduces clutch wear for extended transmission life.
Resists Oxidation and
High Temperature Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is
specifically formulated to overcome the thermal deficiencies
common to conventional petroleum oils.
Volatilization (burn-off), oxidation and excessive deposit
formation from high heat are greatly reduced. Viscosity
thickening is controlled and engines run cleaner, promoting
cooler operation and long engine life in air- or
liquid-cooled engines. In addition, the higher viscosity
nature of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil may help
reduce motor oil consumption in equipment that experiences
higher-than-normal usage rates when lower-viscosity
lubricants are installed.
Extends Drain Intervals in Gasoline
and Diesel Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock
and additive technology exceeds the
requirements of both gasoline
and diesel engines. AMSOIL
Premium Protection Motor
Oil neutralizes acids,
disperses soot and lasts
longer in service than
conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oil is a multi-use, premium synthetic
lubricant for applications that require or benefit from a
higher viscosity oil. It is recommended for air and
liquid cooled, large or small gasoline and diesel engines,
transmissions and chaincase applications where 20W-50
oil is required with any of the following specifications:
- API SL, SJ, SH, SG
- API CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CF, CF-2
- ISO-L-EMA • Caterpillar ECF-1
- JASO MA (Motorcycle) • MAN 271/3275 • MTU Type 2
- Cummins 20071/20072/20076/20077 • VDS-2, VDS
- Mack EO-M+ • ACEA A3/B3, E3, E5 • MB 228.3, 229.1
- Detroit Diesel 93K214
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor 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. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL Synthetic Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is recommended for extended intervals in unmodified, mechanically-sound vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Motorcycles, Small Engines, Stationary Engines, Heavy Equipment and Other Applications
•Extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or follow the manufacturer-recommended drain interval.
AMSOIL Ea™ Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea™ Full-Flow Oil Filters and replace at the time of oil change. Other oil filters should be changed at standard OEM* intervals.
