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
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is recommended for use
wherever SAE 10W-40 motor oil is specified in air- and watercooled
four-stroke motorized scooter engines, transmissions and gear boxes that
require the following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet clutch)
- ISO-L-EMA2
Engine manufacturers include, but are not limited to,
Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia, Piaggio, Benelli,
Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.

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.
