PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil (MCT) is a premium oil
designed for those who demand the absolute best lubrication for their
motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is the result of extensive research, and
it is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles,
including high engine RPM, wet clutch lubrication, extreme pressure
regions of gears and rust common to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL MCT is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of
both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It outperforms other conventional
and synthetic motorcycle oils.
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.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines
running cool by effectively reducing friction and heat, and it contains
a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless
of the operating conditions (see Four-Ball Wear Test graph below).
AMSOIL MCT is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels
of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to volatility (see
NOACK Volatility graph below) and engineered to prevent damaging
sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.

Provides Extreme Pressure Quality
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCT, there is no need for separate transmission lubricants.
It is shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity.
AMSOIL MCT performs like a gear lube without the negative effects
of extreme pressure additives, such as poor wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust
and Corrosion Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage,
humidity and short drives. Rust can cause
major damage such as uncontrolled wear,
compression loss and blow-by. Good rust
protection, however, comes by design and is
not natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle
oils, AMSOIL MCT contains special anti-rust agents that deliver superior rust
protection. With its high TBN (see TBN graph
below), AMSOIL 10W-30 provides
greater protection from acid corrosion and
helps maintain internal engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet
Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil
contains no friction modifiers and promotes
smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement.
It controls heat and prevents slippage
and glazing, promoting longer clutch life.


APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is recommended
for liquid- or air-cooled 4-stroke motorcycles,
scooters, ATVs and UTVs requiring an SAE 10W-30
fluid. It meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil requirements
and is recommended for transmissions on both 4- and
2-stroke motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is recommended for
Honda®, Yamaha®, Suzuki® and Kawasaki® motorcycles
and scooters, as well as Arctic Cat®, Can-Am®,
Honda®, Kawasaki® and Suzuki® ATVs and UTVs.
Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil
is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is compatible
with conventional and synthetic motor oils; however,
mixing oils may 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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer
change interval (miles/hours) or one year,
whichever comes first, in engines and transmissions.
When using an engine filter other than AMSOIL Ea,
change the filter at standard intervals.
For “off road” use, change AMSOIL MCT at motorcycle
manufacturer intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded from
extended drain interval recommendations. Oil changes
are at the owner's discretion.
