"I
just put AMSOIL in my new Toyota at 6,000 miles and the mileage jumped
three miles per gallon - a 10 percent increase. I can't understand why
everyone doesn't use this fantastic product."

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil (ATM)
delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline
engines. By combining the industry premier synthetic technology with
AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL ATM exceeds the higher performance
demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher
horsepower, higher heat and complicated emission control systems.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil consistently outperforms competitive
conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting
performance and protection.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication,
produced the worlds 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 vehicle.
Extends
Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil can extend drain intervals
far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its unique
synthetic formulation and long drain additive system are very stable,
resisting oxidation and neutralizing acids. AMSOIL ATM delivers the
best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over
extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil
disposal costs.
Maximizes
Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is designed
to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy. Unlike
conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more
freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction
additives are included to further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces
Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil provides outstanding
anti-wear protection. It has excellent viscosity film strength to
separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives to further
reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for improved engine life.
 Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Evaporation (volatility) occurs when oil gets hot, causing
high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil
has the lowest evaporation rate of the oils tested, making it the best
at controlling evaporation-related oil consumption and emissions (see
chart).
Excels
in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists thermal (heat)
breakdown better than conventional oils. It is heavily fortified with
detergent and dispersant additives to prevent sludge deposits and keep
engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ATM contains no
wax. It stays fluid down to -58°F for improved cold temperature oil
flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting (see chart).
APPLICATIONS:
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for use in
gasoline engines and other applications requiring any of the listed
worldwide specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A1/B1, A5/B5
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS-M2C205-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL
ATM 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 motor oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals
in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as
follows:
Normal Service(3)
Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Severe Service(4)
Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL Ea
full-flow oil filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or
one year service life, whichever comes first (other brands at standard
OEM* intervals).
In all other
applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis
or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM Original
Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating
under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain
recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer
chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the
use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the
manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in
good working condition and within the factory design settings.
Mechanically sound engines, for example, do not leak oil or consume
excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not
overheat, do not have internal or external anti-freeze leaks and have
properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing
malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic
oils.
(3) Personal
transportation vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16
km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4)
Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, excessive
engine idling, use of AMSOIL engine oil in vehicles with over 100,000
miles without prior regular use of AMSOIL engine oil, daily short trip
driving (less than 10 miles), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or
dusty-condition driving.
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
full-flow oil filters.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the
intended application and according to the recommendations in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available upon request.
