![]() |
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION |
AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes acids, inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and protects against deposits. It provides the extra anti-wear protection required by engines with flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor Oil offers 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 10W-40 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 zinc and other 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 10W-40
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 10W-40 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 10W-40 oil is required with any of the
following specifications:
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 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 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor
Oil is recommended for extended intervals in unmodified, mechanically-sound
vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
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.
