PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL) delivers extraordinary lubrication in all
types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining the industry premier synthetic
technology with AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL ASL exceeds the higher
performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower,
higher heat and complicated emission control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor
Oil consistently outperforms competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. 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 5W-30 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 ASL
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 5W-30 Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for
improved fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it
flow more freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are
included to further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has
excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives
to further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for improved engine life.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil has the lowest volatility rate of the oils tested, making
it the best at controlling volatility-related oil consumption and emissions (see chart).
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil resists thermal (heat) 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 ASL
contains no wax. It stays fluid down to -58°F for improved cold temperature oil flow,
reduced bearing wear and easier starting.
Less High-Temperature Evaporation With AMSOIL

Package sizes include:

Engineered to outperform all conventional gasoline
engine motor oils. Reduce heat, friction and wear for
maximum power, performance and fuel efficiency.
Clean engine formula. Resists high temperature
break down that forms sludge and varnish. Lasts
longer and offers better protection. Ideal for hot and
cold climates. Recommended for all gasoline engines.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline engines, diesel
engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications:
- API SM/CF, SL, SJ ...
- ILSAC GF-4, 3 ...
- ACEA A5/B5-04
- JASO VTW
- GM 4718M, 6094M
- Ford WSS M2C929-A
- Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
- VW 503.00
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ASL 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 5W-30 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,
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 manufacturer.
(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/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling,
first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip
driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition
driving.
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 full-flow oil filters.
