vehicle manufacturer. |
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is specially
formulated for four-stroke recreational motors, including
ATVs, outboard motors and motorcycles. It may also be
used in cars and trucks. Its broad viscosity range makes
it excellent for use in both hot and cold temperature
extremes.
Resists High Temperature
Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to vaporize and lose weight
in high temperature conditions, contributing to poor oil
circulation, reduction in fuel efficiency and excessive
emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Motor Oil is highly resistant to evaporation.
While conventional petroleum oils thicken due to
evaporation, AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil
maintains its viscosity in high temperature service. The
superior evaporation resistance of AMSOIL Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil keeps engine wear, oil
consumption and emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil
circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
Friction Modifier Free
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains no
friction modifiers, making it ideal for ATV, outboard
motor and motorcycle engines. The friction modifier free
formulation of AMSOIL 4-Stroke ensures transmission
(manual or automatic) and clutch compatibility and
prevents slip.
Performance Formulated
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains a
robust dispersant/detergent package, making it ideal for
use in high-stress four-cycle engines. The
dispersant/detergent additive package effectively
suspends harmful combustion by-products and prevents
deposits, keeping AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke clean and
serviceable.
High-temperature operations often lead to the thermal
degradation and oxidation of conventional oils, leading
to the formation of deposits, sludge and varnish. The
superior oxidative and thermal stability of AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil inhibits the
formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment
runs clean in high-stress, high temperature
operations.
Temperature and Performance
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil has a broad
viscosity range, making it excellent for use in both hot
and cold temperature extremes. As an SAE 40 weight motor
oil, AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke provides superior protection
for hot operating, hard working motors, while its SAE 0W
rating ensures easy cranking, excellent cold weather
starting and quick post-startup protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil protects
equipment from copper corrosion and rust, even during
equipment storage. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Motor Oil does not foam in service, protecting equipment
from the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with
use of foam-filled fluids.

Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil may be used
in all applications specifying 0W-40, 5W-30, 10W-30 and
10W-40 viscosity grades and is recommended for
applications specifying the following:
API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CD, CF
JASO MA
Use in Yamaha®, Suzuki®, Honda®, Mercury®,
Kawasaki®, Arctic Cat®, Polaris®, Nissan® and
Bombardier® motors and transmissions. Safe in wet or dry
sumps. Recommended for manual or automatic clutches.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible
with other four-stroke fluids. However, a mixture of
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil and another
oil may offer a shorter service life than pure AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil.
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible
with and recommended for use with clutch plates in
ATVs and motorcycle transmissions.
Installation
Change AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil
according to oil analysis results or at
manufacturers recommended interval.
