Maximum Engine Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil surpasses the North American
SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high
shear (HTHS) viscosity. It does not shear back to a lower viscosity oil
in the high temperature/high shear conditions of today's smaller, high
RPM automobile engines. AMSOIL 5W-40 contains high quality anti-wear
additives for superior engine protection. It resists the damaging
effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation for extended drain
intervals, providing cool, clean and
efficient engine performance.
Reduced Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil does not vaporize (burn off)
in the high temperatures that vaporize conventional motor oils. It
provides consistent high temperature protection, improved fuel economy
and reduced oil consumption and emissions.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil remains fluid at
temperatures as frigid as -59°F (-51°C), permitting easy engine
cranking for fast starts and immediate start-up protection, greatly
reducing engine wear and prolonging engine life.
Prevents Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil contains special rust and
corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and
aluminum bearing materials.
Meets or exceeds the following specifications for domestic and foreign gasoline engines:
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil surpasses the most demanding European oil specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline and diesel vehicles, including but not limited to, Saab, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land Rover, Opel, Mini Cooper, BMW, Peugeot and Porsche.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils; however, AMSOIL mixed with conventional
oils is not recommended for extended drain intervals. Engine oil
additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL 5W-40.
Service
Life
Use drain intervals according to the manufacturers'
recommendations for synthetic motor oil.
Caution:
Continuous contact with used oil has caused skin cancer in lab
animals. Avoid prolonged skin contact. Avoid eye contact. Wash skin
thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Flush eyes with water
for 15 minutes in case of contact. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Contact a physician immediately. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.
