PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are specially formulated
with premium synthetic base stocks and robust additive packages to
provide tough lubricating protection in the most demanding operations.
They are recommended for use in all four-cycle motorcycle and ATV engines,
including those with wet clutch systems.
WEAR PROTECTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are specially formulated with high
levels of zinc and phosphorous for superior protection of cam lobes
and other high pressure components. Testing shows that AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils provide up to 80 percent better wear protection
than other motorcycle oils (see graph).
Some four-cycle motorcycle and ATV transmissions and
engines share an oil sump, so the engine oil also provides wear protection
to the transmission gears. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils also
provide superior lubricating protection in the engines, primary chaincases
and transmissions of Most Harley-Davidson® motorcycles,
including Evolution XL, Evolution 1340, Twin Cam 88 and 88B, Revolution
and Buell models.
FRICTION MODIFIER FREE
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils contain no friction modifiers,
making them ideal for motorcycle and ATV engines. The friction modifier
free formulation of AMSOIL ensures dependable starting, smooth running,
good fuel efficiency, desirable stall speeds and clutch compatibility.
TEMPERATURE AND PERFORMANCE
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils provide
superior performance. Their outstanding low temperature fluidity ensures
easy cranking, dependable starting and fast post-startup protection.
The superior high-temperature protection ensures the formation of a
clean, protective film of oil between working parts during high-temperature,
high-stress operations.
High-temperature operations often lead to the thermal
degradation and oxidation of conventional oils, which leads to the
formation of deposits, sludge and varnish. AMSOIL withstands thermal
degradation and oxidation at higher temperatures than conventional
oils do, ensuring clean, dependable performance in high-stress, high-temperature
operations. Especially in air-cooled engines.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils may be used
in all four-cycle air- and liquid-cooled petrol motorcycle engines
requiring any of the following specifications:
API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CF, CD, JASO MA
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are
excellent for use in two-cycle motorcycle transmissions where a JASO
MA fluid is recommended.
Use in US and European motorcycles, all four-cycle motorbikes and
ATV engines, including those with wet clutch systems.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are compatible
with conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oils with conventional motorcycle oils may shorten the drain periods
and compromise the superior quality of AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils. Because
AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils are formulated to provide superior lubrication
performance, engine oil additives or aftermarket products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
Change AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oil according
to manufacturer's recommendations without oil filtration. With oil
filtration, change oil up to two times longer than manufacturer's recommendations
or six months, whichever comes first. When using an AMSOIL SDF or SMF
filter, change filter at two times the manufacturer's recommendations.
Hastings or other filter brands should be changed at manufacturer's
recommendations.
RACING ENGINES
Change AMV at intervals specified by used oil analysis.
