PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM) delivers extraordinary lubrication for automotive
gasoline engines. AMSOIL combined the industry premier synthetic technology and additives into a
light viscosity formulation that withstands high temperatures and delivers outstanding fuel economy
and cold temperature performance. AMSOIL ASM replaces SAE 5W-20 and is recommended for
extended drain intervals according to AMSOIL service interval guidelines. It delivers long-lasting
performance and protection.

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.

Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for
conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system are very stable,
resisting oxidation and neutralizing acids. AMSOIL ASM delivers the best possible engine
protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.

Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel
economy. Its light viscosity properties reduce drag and its uniform molecular structure helps it flow
more freely to lower friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further
improve energy efficiency.

Protects Against Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is a shear stable formulation with a high viscosity index. It
provides excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and contains robust anti-wear
additives for the best possible engine protection.

Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL
Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil has a very low volatility rate, making it excellent at controlling volatility
related oil consumption and emissions.

Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil resists thermal breakdown better than conventional oils. It is
heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to prevent sludge deposits and keep
engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ASM contains no wax. It stays fluid down to
-65°F for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting.

Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota,
Ford and all other applications where SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the following
specifications:

API SM/CF, SL, SJ. . .
ILSAC GF-4, 3. . .
ACEA A1/B1
Ford WSS-M2C930-A
DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASM 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 of
AMSOIL. 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 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows:

• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

• Replace AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter at the time of oil change, up to 25,000 miles or one year service
life, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).

• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil
analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.

*OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer

(1) Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain
recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved
exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for
normal operation by the manufacturers.

(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or
consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have
properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.

(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating
under severe service.

(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, excessive engine idling, first and
subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10
miles (16k), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition
driving.

AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow 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
Filters.
