Passenger car and light-truck engines today are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and power without the sacrifice in wear protection that comes with many fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils. Testing shows AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular conventional and synthetic motor oils of typical viscosities in wear protection (see chart).

Fuel Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the drivetrain. Its low coefficient of friction inhibits the energy loss to “drag” common to high viscosity oils. Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel efficiency may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.

High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil protects in high temperatures better than the conventional and synthetic oils tested, regardless of viscosity (see chart). Even after extended service in the engine, Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high temperatures.

Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is specially formulated for superior cold temperature engine protection. Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity in extremely low temperatures, so it flows quickly and reliably to allow easy starting and immediate lubricating protection. Motorists seeking cold temperature dependability and protection may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.

Heat Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat that causes conventional motor oils to lose as much as 25 percent of their mass, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses less than ten percent.

AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil’s resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption extremely low and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated and protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep fuel efficiency high and emissions low.

Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil remains free of sludge, varnish and other by products of high temperature degradation. With no deposits to foul them, engines stay cleaner longer for top performance and efficiency and maximum service life.

Shear Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil’s excellent viscosity retention, the protection that goes into the engine is the protection that stays in the engine, even over an extended course of severe service.

Application
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil meets or exceeds the engine protection requirements of all domestic and foreign gasoline and diesel engines specifying the following:
• API SH, SJ, SL, CF
• ILSAC GF-2, GF-3
• ACEA A-2, A-3, B-3, B-4
• Chrysler MS-6395 H
• Ford ESE M2C-153G
• GM 4718M
• US MIL L-46167B
• VW 505.00, 501.00
• Daimler Chrysler 229.1, 229.3
• JASO VTW Spec.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or other synthetic oils. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service life than pure AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.

Service Life
In personal cars and light-duty trucks with nonturbocharged gasoline engines: drain oil at 35,000-mile or one-year intervals, whichever comes first.

In turbocharged gasoline engines, motorcycles, ATVs, marine craft and occasionally used gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times as long as the intervals recommended by the engine manufacturer or one year, whichever comes first.

In high-performance and racing engines: drain oil according to the findings of used oil analysis.

In light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel engines: drain oil at intervals up to twice as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer or six months, whichever comes first.

In fleet and industrial gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to two times as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer if the findings of a used oil analysis program support the extended drain intervals.

AMSOIL Oil Filters should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine manufacturer’s recommended filter change intervals.
