Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants SAE 10W-40 High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Engine and Transmission Oil
|
Provides Extreme Pressure Quality Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCF, there is no need for separate transmission lubricants. It is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out
from mechanical activity. AMSOIL MCF performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme pressure additives.
In the FZG gear test, AMSOIL MCF achieved a perfect score with a “zero” wear rating (see photos below).

AMSOIL 10W-40 (MCF)
Delivers Superior Rust 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 MCF contains special anti-rust agents. It passes the ASTM D-1748 humidity cabinet rust test and clearly demonstrates
superior rust protection (see photos below).

AMSOIL 10W-40 (MCF)
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
AMSOIL MCF contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. AMSOIL MCF controls
heat and prevents slippage and glazing, and its high TBN resists acids that can degrade clutch material, helping improve clutch life.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for liquid or air-cooled 4-stroke engines. It meets SAE 80W/90, API
GL-1 gear oil requirements and is recommended for transmissions on both 4- and 2-stroke motorcycles. AMSOIL MCF is
recommended for Honda®, Kawasaki®, Yamaha®, Suzuki®, BMW®, Husqvarna®, KTM® and other motorcycles where 10W-
40 or 20W-40 engine oils or SAE 80W/90, GL-1 gear oils are used. Not recommended for shaft drive hypoid gears or where an
API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 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
For “on road” use in engines and transmissions, change AMSOIL MCF and AMSOIL engine oil filter at twice the motorcycle
manufacturer change interval or one year, whichever comes first. Change other brand oil filters at standard intervals.
For “off road” use in engines and transmissions, change AMSOIL MCF at the standard motorcycle manufacturer change interval.
For racing or in engines modified from the original factory design, no change interval recommendation is made. Oil changes are at the
owner’s discretion.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil (MCF) is a premium oil designed for those who demand the absolute best lubrication
for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCF 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 MCF 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 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 motorcycle.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has the best high temperature
film strength (see High Temperature Viscosity Protection graph below) of all oils tested and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear
additives to reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions (see Wear Comparison graph at right). AMSOIL MCF is thermally
(heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to
prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.
