PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural
Gas Engine Oil is chemically formulated to
deliver unsurpassed protection for natural gas
engines. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil has a
low-ash formula with highly effective rust and
corrosion inhibitors. It circulates quickly to
critical engine components for fast, easy
cold-weather engine start-ups and has a very low
volatility to remain stable in hot engine
conditions. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil will
not break down like petroleum oils because it
resists the effects of high temperature oxidation
much longer than petroleum oils do.
Inhibits
Rust and Corrosion
Natural gas engines are
unique in that they must often operate in
locations where service is infrequent. Many
natural gas engines undergo long periods of
inactivity. The rust and corrosion inhibitors in
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil provide protection
during periods when the engine is not running or
running intermittently.
Improves
Spark Plug Reliability
AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil is an extremely low-ash oil, which
greatly reduces spark plug fouling and post
plugging in two-cycle natural gas engines and
virtually eliminates ring belt deposits in
four-cycle natural gas engines. In some
four-cycle applications, port cleanings have been
reduced four-fold.
Maintains
Viscosity
Due to its synthetic
formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a
true SAE 40 oil, yet it passes SAE 20W viscosity
specifications for low temperature performance
without the use of special additives.
Resists
Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil resists the damaging effects of heat,
blowby chemicals and oxidation up to ten times
longer than do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil neutralizes sludge and acid formation
to provide engines with long-lasting performance
and reliability.
Performs in
Cold Weather
AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil remains fluid in extremely cold
temperatures. It resists the low temperature
congealing that often occurs in petroleum oils.
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil ensures instant
start-ups, fast oil circulation and ideal
protection under frigid conditions.
Extended
Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil affords exceptional extended drain
intervals when monitored by an oil analysis
program. Periodic oil analysis should be
conducted at the engine manufacturers
recommended drain intervals. Change the oil
filter at the recommended engine manufacturers
drain intervals.
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic
Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic
lubricants; however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce the
drain interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil.
Note:
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas
Engine Oil should not be used in automotive
engines that have been modified to use propane or
natural gas.
