PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil provides superior protection and performance in the most
severe automotive driving conditions. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil provides a wide range of
protection in all four-cycle gasoline and diesel engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles. It is
recommended for use in vehicles subject to stop-and-go driving, short trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling
and off-road use.
RESISTS HIGH TEMPERATURE VAPORIZATION
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high temperatures, losing up to 25 percent of their original weight. These
vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL
High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK Volatility Test,
which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation, AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 only loses 7.0
percent of its weight in high temperature service, surpassing rigorous European standards set at 13 percent weight
loss in high temperature testing. The superior vaporization resistance of AMSOIL High Performance 10W-40 keeps
engine wear, oil consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
RESISTS OXIDATION AND THERMAL BREAKDOWN
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that contribute to
corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor
Oil resists oil breakdown, maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties and providing extended drain intervals. It
continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil keep engines running in their
optimum temperature range for top performance and long life.
PROVIDES HIGH SHEAR STABILITY
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil
specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads that
cause conventional oils to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 3.93 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Sh
ear Test, significantly exceeding test limits.
PROVIDES LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as -54°F (-48°C),
permitting easy engine cranking for quick starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much
quicker than conventional petroleum oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear and increasing engine life.
RESISTS DEPOSIT FORMATION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly cleaner
than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL 10W-40 has a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when tested
after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibits outstanding deposit control.
INHIBITS RUST AND CORROSION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron
parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.
PROVIDES EXTENDED DRAIN INTERVALS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil features a superior synthetic composition and advanced
performance additives, performing much longer than competing conventional and synthetic oils. No other major oil
manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil may be used in gasoline or diesel engines and is
recommended for applications requiring the following specifications:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is chemically formulated to deliver unsurpassed protection for natural gas
engines. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil has a low-ash formula with highly effective rust and corrosion inhibitors. It
circulates quickly to critical engine components for fast, easy cold-weather engine start-ups and has a very low
volatility to remain stable in hot engine conditions. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil will not break down like petroleum
oils because it resists the effects of high temperature oxidation much longer than petroleum oils do.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
Natural gas engines are unique in that they must often operate in locations where service is infrequent. Many natural
gas engines undergo long periods of inactivity. The rust and corrosion inhibitors in AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil
provide protection during periods when the engine is not running or running intermittently.
Improves Spark Plug Reliability
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is an extremely low-ash oil, which greatly reduces spark plug fouling and post plugging
in two-cycle natural gas engines and virtually eliminates ring belt deposits in four-cycle natural gas engines. In some
four-cycle applications, port cleanings have been reduced four-fold.
Maintains Viscosity
Due to its synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a true SAE 40 oil, yet it passes SAE 20W viscosity
specifications for low temperature performance without the use of special additives.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil resists the damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to ten times
longer than do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil neutralizes sludge and acid formation to provide
engines with long-lasting performance and reliability.
Performs in Cold Weather
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil remains fluid in extremely cold temperatures. It resists the low temperature congealing
that often occurs in petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil ensures instant start-ups, fast oil circulation and
ideal protection under frigid conditions.
Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil affords exceptional extended drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis
program. Periodic oil analysis should be conducted at the engine manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.
Change the oil filter at the recommended engine manufacturer’s drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic lubricants;
however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce the drain interval of the AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil.
Note: AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil should not be used in automotive engines that have been modified to
use propane or natural gas.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is specially formulated to provide superior protection and
performance in the most demanding applications. It provides a wide range of protection in all four-cycle gasoline and
diesel engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles and is ideal for use in high-stress vehicles
subject to stop-and-go driving, short trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling and off-road use.
Resists High Temperature Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high tempera- tures, losing up to 25 percent of their original weight. These
vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL
High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK Volatility Test,
which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 only loses 6.0 percent of its
weight in high temperature service, surpassing rigorous European standards set at 13 percent weight loss in high
temperature testing. The superior vaporization resistance of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 keeps engine wear, oil
consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that contribute to
corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor
Oil resists oil breakdown, maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties and providing extended drain intervals. It
continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil keep engines running in their optimum temperature range
for top performance and long life.
Provides High Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for
high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads that cause
conventional oils to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective
viscosity of 4.9 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test, significantly exceeding
test limits.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains outstanding low temperature fluidity, ensuring easy engine cranking for
quick starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much quicker than conventional
petroleum 20W-50 oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear and increasing engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly cleaner than conventional
motor oils. AMSOIL 20W-50 has a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when tested after tens of
thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibits outstanding deposit control.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is specially formulated to provide superior protection and
performance in the most demanding applications. It provides a wide range of protection in all four-cycle gasoline and
diesel engines, including pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles and is ideal for use in high-stress vehicles
subject to stop-and-go driving, short trips, high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling and off-road use.
Resists High Temperature Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high tempera- tures, losing up to 25 percent of their original weight. These
vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL
High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In fact, according to the NOACK Volatility Test,
which measures the weight loss of an oil due to evaporation, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 only loses 6.0 percent of its
weight in high temperature service, surpassing rigorous European standards set at 13 percent weight loss in high
temperature testing. The superior vaporization resistance of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 keeps engine wear, oil
consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
Conventional oils oxidize in high operating temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that contribute to
corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased fuel economy. AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor
Oil resists oil breakdown, maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties and providing extended drain intervals. It
continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil keep engines running in their optimum temperature range
for top performance and long life.
Provides High Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications for
high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads that cause
conventional oils to shear back to a lower viscosity. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective
viscosity of 4.9 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test, significantly exceeding
test limits.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains outstanding low temperature fluidity, ensuring easy engine cranking for
quick starts. During sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much quicker than conventional
petroleum 20W-50 oils, greatly reducing the rate of wear and increasing engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running significantly cleaner than conventional
motor oils. AMSOIL 20W-50 has a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when tested after tens of
thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as
copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.

Unbeatable Lubrication and Protection in High-Performance Gasoline Engines
Engines in race cars, high-performance street cars, ATVs and motorhomes face high temperatures, vigorous engine
speeds or heavy loads, each a potent stressor. AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil offers unmatched
protection for engines facing tough operating conditions.
Unbeatable Wear Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil is
specially formulated to carry the oil's wear reducing and
heat transferring agents to the engine's surfaces and hold
them there. By positioning vital agents where they are
most needed, Series 2000 provides a degree of engine
protection unavailable with any other oil.
AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil clings
tenaciously to engine surfaces, so it shields engines from
start-up wear. Further enhancing wear protection, AMSOIL
Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil's wax-free
lubricating basestocks assure rapid post-start-up lubrication.
AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil contains powerful corrosion preventives, detergents, dispersants
and anti-foam agents to protect engines from the harmful effects of water, acids, debris, deposit-forming materials
and air entrained oil.
Boosts Power, Speed and Efficiency
AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil reduces friction so effectively that virtually none of the engine's
power is wasted on "drag." Its extraordinary formulation gives Series 2000 a coefficient of friction lower than that of
other fine, race-formulated synthetic oils. With Series 2000, vehicles accelerate fast, attain top speeds and use fuel
efficiently.
Maintains Integrity in Demanding Conditions
AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil maintains a constant high level of performance over time
because it resists the damage many oils undergo in high temperature, intense shearing force conditions.
Advanced thermal stability allows AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil to circulate readily, thus
protecting hard-to-reach areas that heat-damaged oils grow too thick to reach.
Superior shear stability allows AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Synthetic Racing Oil to provide a dependable pad of
protection between parts even after exposure to shearing forces that tear lesser oils apart.

SAE 60 Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil
Product Code: AHR
A high viscosity oil designed for high horsepower racing engines, typically supercharged and
alcohol-burning or nitro-fueled, and requiring a high viscosity oil to resist the thinning effects of
fuel dilution. Also ideal for motorcycles where SAE 60 motor oil is required.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is recommended for applications
requiring the following specifications:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL SAE 60 Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is designed for high horsepower racing engines, typically
supercharged and alcohol-burning or nitro-fueled, and requiring a high viscosity oil to resist the thinning effects of fuel
dilution.
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is formulated specifically for wear protection and friction reduction in
the extreme service conditions of racing. It has been proven on-track to bring down high engine oil sump
temperatures by 20 degrees F, which speaks directly to its ability to reduce friction, promote power and inhibit wear.
MOTORCYCLE APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is formulated with a complete American petroleum Institute (API)
SJ/CD additive system. AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil may be used in all engines for which API
SJ/CD SAE 60 oils are specified.
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is also formulated with a complete Japan Automobile Standards
Association (JASO) MB additive system. AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil may be used in
motorcycles requiring JASO MB oils. Such engines include vintage and classic motorcycles, often equipped with
air-cooled engines, and specifying straight grade SAE 60 oils.
HEAT STABILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is highly resistant to thermal degradation and oxidation. Even in
long-term high temperature service, AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil maintains its specified chemical
and physical properties, forming no sludge, varnish, deposits or acids and maintaining its specified viscosity and ability
to protect and lubricate engines.
OIL CONSUMPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is highly resistant to evaporative losses, which keeps oil
consumption rates low. Low rates of oil consumption allows oil to flow freely without significant "boil-off" thickening to
ensure dependable engine lubrication and protection.
CORROSION, RUST AND FOAM CONTROL
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil seals out rust, neutralizes acids and resists foaming. Rust inhibition
is especially important for engines subject to frequent short-trip operations or frequent periods of storage. Acid
neutralization protects engines from damage caused by corrosive by-products of combustion. Foam resistance
ensures protection against metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with foamy oils.
VISCOSITY RETENTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is shear stable, so the viscosity grade that's installed in the engine
is the viscosity grade that stays in the engine. That's especially important for race engines, motorcycle engines and
other engines subject to high temperature/high stress operations. Viscosity retention ensures the maintenance of a
protective lubricant film between working metal parts, which prevents metal-to-metal contact and consequent failure or
wear.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is recommended for applications requiring the following
specifications:
API SL, CF
JASO MB
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil is not recommended for use in cold temperature applications.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or with other synthetic oils.
However, a mixture of AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil may not provide as much protection as
unadulterated AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight Racing Oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Follow engine manufacturer's oil drain interval recommendations when using AMSOIL Synthetic Super Heavy Weight
Racing Oil.
Race Engines: specified by Owner Experience/Oil Analysis
Motorcycles and Recreation Vehicles: change according to manufacturer's recommendations, without oil filtration. With
oil filtration (AMSOIL SDF Filter), up to 2 times longer than manufacturer's recommendations or 6 months, whichever
comes first. If a Hastings or other filter is used, filter should be changed at manufacturer recommendations.
