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 on reverse) 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 on reverse),
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.
