AMSOIL Synthetic
5W-40 European Engine Oil is specially formulated
for the lubrication needs of European gasoline
and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated with
advanced AMSOIL polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic
base stocks, premium additives and a broad 5W-40
viscosity rating. AMSOIL 5W-40 allows motorists
to take advantage of the maximum extended drain
intervals recommended by European automakers
while providing second-to-none protection and
performance in the most demanding operating
conditions.

Maximum
Engine Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil surpasses the
North American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications
for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It does
not shear back to a lower viscosity oil in the high
temperature/high shear conditions of today's smaller,
high RPM automobile engines. AMSOIL 5W-40 contains high
quality anti-wear additives for superior engine
protection. It resists the damaging effects of heat,
blowby chemicals and oxidation for extended drain
intervals, providing cool, clean and
efficient engine performance.
Reduced Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil does not
vaporize (burn off) in the high temperatures that
vaporize conventional motor oils. It provides consistent
high temperature protection, improved fuel economy and
reduced oil consumption and emissions.
Provides Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil remains fluid
at temperatures as frigid as -59°F (-51°C), permitting
easy engine cranking for fast starts and immediate
start-up protection, greatly reducing engine wear and
prolonging engine life.
Prevents Rust and
Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil contains
special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron
parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing
materials.
Meets or exceeds the
following specifications for domestic and foreign
gasoline engines:

AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40
European Engine Oil surpasses the most demanding European
oil specifications. It is recommended for European
gasoline and diesel vehicles, including but not limited
to, Saab, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land
Rover, Opel, Mini Cooper, BMW, Peugeot and Porsche.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil is compatible
with conventional petroleum oils; however, AMSOIL mixed
with conventional oils is not recommended for extended
drain intervals. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-40.
Service Life
Use
drain intervals according to the manufacturers'
recommendations for synthetic motor oil.
Caution:
Continuous contact with used oil has caused skin
cancer in lab animals. Avoid prolonged skin contact.
Avoid eye contact. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water after handling. Flush eyes with water for 15
minutes in case of contact. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Contact a physician immediately. KEEP OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Don't pollute. Return used oil to
collection centers.
