MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL PCO 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 motor oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil is recommended for use
according to the longest service interval established by the engine, vehicle or
equipment manufacturer. Drain intervals may be extended based on oil analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™ full flow and Donaldson
Endurance™ oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They capture
more wear-causing particles, have less restriction and last longer than regular
filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea full-flow or Donaldson Endurance
oil filters.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended
application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS). Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don't pollute. Return used oil to
collection centers.
