PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 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 10W-40 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 10W-40 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
insures smooth clutch engagement and long term,
dependable transmission operation.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40
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.
Extends Drain Intervals in Gasoline and Diesel
Engines
Superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and
additive technology exceeds the requirements of
both gasoline and diesel engines. AMSOIL Premium
Protection Motor Oil is designed to neutralize
acids, disperse soot and last longer in service
than conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-40 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 10W-40 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

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-40 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
10W-40 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 and 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.
