DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection 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
additives, 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. AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists
oxidation, neutralizes acids, inhibits corrosion,
reduces wear and protects against deposits. It is ideal
for high mileage vehicles and high-stress vehicles
subject to hot temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer
pulling or off road use. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oil provides flexibility and
performance beyond conventional oils 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 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 20W-50 Motor Oil reduces
clutch wear for extended transmission life.
Resists
Oxidation and High Temperature
Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection
Synthetic Motor Oil overcomes 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 clean, promoting cooler
operation and long engine life in air or liquid cooled
engines.
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/CF, CI-4 Plus
- API SJ, SH, SG...
- MIL-PRF-2104G
- JASO MA (Motorcycle)
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
use up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes
first, in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) automotive gasoline or diesel
engines. In 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.
*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
manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound
engines are in good working condition and do not, for
example, leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not
worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and
have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL
recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the
installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
