The 25,000 mile oil and filter was a life saver. We saved
more time and effort not changing the oil every 3,000. We normally
put 35,000 miles per year (3,000/month) on our transporter. We normally
had to change the oil once a month, which to a do-it-yourselfer can
be a Saturday morning every month spent crawling under the transporter
getting greasy. With the 25,000 mile oil and filter combination we
only have to spend two Saturday mornings per year slaving away under
the transporter. How's that for saving time and money? Ten Saturday
mornings I can find something better to do.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil exceeds the lubrication
requirements of all modern automobile engines. It provides tough lubricating
protection in the most demanding operating conditions. AMSOIL 10W-30 resists
high temperature degradation and flows freely in cold conditions for superior
protection against engine wear. AMSOIL 10W-30 also provides maximum power and
improved fuel efficiency.
Resists Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in high
temperatures. Losing up to 25 percent of their original weight in high temperature
service, vaporized oils grow thick and heavy. They circulate poorly, reduce
fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. Of course,
oil consumption skyrockets as oil boils off.
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is highly resistant to vaporization,
losing only 6.6 percent of its weight in high temperature service. In fact,
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil resists vaporization so well, it surpasses
rigorous European standards, set at 13 percent weight loss in high temperature
testing. In the engine, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil's superior vaporization
resistance keeps fuel economy high; oil circulation efficient; and oil consumption,
emissions, and most importantly, engine wear, to a minimum.
Provides High Shear Stability
The shearing forces generated inside today's smaller, high RPM
automobile engines can literally tear apart the molecules of conventional oils.
AMSOIL 10W-30, because of its unique synthetic construction, withstands shearing
forces. AMSOIL 10W-30 doesn't thin out and lose viscosity like conventional
oils do. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil surpasses the North American AAMA,
Japanese JASO and European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high
shear viscosity. AMSOIL 10W-30 delivers long-lasting 10W-30 protection to prevent
wear under the hottest and heaviest-loaded conditions.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL 10W-30 resists oil breakdown from heat, blowby chemicals
and oxygen longer than do conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 resists forming
varnish deposits and sludge. It doesn't thicken like petroleum oils, but continues
to cool and lubricate, providing peak engine performance, power and protection.
In addition, the advanced heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of
AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps engines, transmissions and gear boxes running in their
optimal temperature range, for top performance and long life.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL 10W-30 remains fluid at temperatures as low as -54°F
(-48°C) so it permits easy engine cranking for fast starts. During sub-zero
temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine in much less time than conventional
petroleum oils take, which greatly reduces the rate of wear and increases engine
life.
Resists Deposit Formation
Because AMSOIL 10W-30's synthetic formulation resists oxidation
so well, it runs naturally cleaner than conventional oils. AMSOIL 10W-30 has
a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when tested after tens
of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibits outstanding deposit
control.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL 10W-30 contains powerful rust and corrosion inhibitors
to protect iron parts and bearing materials.
Provides Extended Drain Intervals
Due to its superior synthetic composition and advanced performance
additives, AMSOIL 10W-30 performs much longer than do conventional petroleum
and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's
25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is designed to provide
maximum benefits in petrol-fueled engines. It is recommended for applications
requiring the following specifications:
- API SL, SJ, CF
- ILSAC GF-3, GF-2
- ACEA A2/B2
- ACEA A3, B3, B4
- FORD WSS M2C205A, M2C153G
- GM 4718M
- CHRYSLER MS10441, MS6395 H
- JASO VTW
- VW 502.00, 505.00
- Porsche
- BMW
- Daimler Benz 229.1, 229.3
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil is compatible with conventional
petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 10W-30 with a conventional oil will
shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-30. Engine oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 10W-30.
SERVICE LIFE
- Personal passenger vehicles with petrol engines: drain oil at 25,000-mile
or one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
- Turbocharged petrol engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times
as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer or at six-month
intervals, whichever comes first.
- High performance and racing engines: Drain oil at engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals.
- Light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel engines: drain oil at intervals
up to twice as long as engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals
when used oil analysis supports these longer drain intervals or at six-month
intervals.
- Heavy-duty and turbocharged diesel engines: this oil is not recommended
for use in this application.
- Motorcycles, ATVs, etc.: use engine manufacturer's recommended drain
interval.
- Marine craft and occasionally used petrol engines: drain oil at intervals
up to three times as long as those recommended by the engine manufacturer
or at one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
- petrol fleet vehicles and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals
up to three times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain intervals
or at six-month intervals, whichever comes first.
