AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil is specially formulated for the lubrication needs of European petrol and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated with advanced AMSOIL 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil is recommended for applications specifying the following:
- API SL, CI-4, CF
- ACEA A3/B3
- BMW LL-01/98
- Daimler Chrysler 229.3, 229.1
- Opel Long Life Service Fill
- GM-LL-A-025
- Opel Diesel Service ill GM-LL-B-025
- Porsche
- Volvo
- Jaguar
- Peugeot
- Saab
- Mercedes-Benz
- Mini Cooper
- Land Rover
- Audi
- Volkswagen 501.01, 502.00, 505.00
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil surpasses the most demanding European oil specifications. Amsoil Synthetic 5W-40 European Car Formula Oil is recommended for European petrol and diesel cars, including but not limited to, BMW, Peugeot, Porsche, Jaguar, Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land Rover and Opel.
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.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are fully compatible with conventional motor oil. For best results, however, use AMSOIL Engine Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.
For maximum engine protection, use an AMSOIL Oil Filter
