SAE 10W-40 Synthetic Premium Protection Motor Oil
SAE 10W-40 Synthetic Premium Protection Motor Oil
For use in both gasoline and diesel engines. Offers multi-functionality and wear protection. Ideal for applications where the extra protection of a higher-viscosity oil is desired. Excellent for motor homes and older vehicles, as well as many types of modern equipment and compatible with some motorcycles.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated to provide
superior protection and performance in a wide variety of demanding
applications. Its unique combination of synthetic base stocks and a
superior additive package results in a formulation that exceeds the
requirements of most gasoline or diesel applications that call for 20W-50 motor oil. Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is
ideal for high-mileage vehicles and high-stress vehicles subject to hot
temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer pulling or off-road use. It provides
the extra anti-wear protection required by engines with flat-tappet cams
and high-tension valve springs. AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic
Motor Oil offers flexibility and performance beyond conventional oils for
convenience and trouble-free operation.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics® to do the best job protecting your engine.
Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is high-viscosity
oil engineered to protect against metal-to-metal contact. It
resists viscosity shear and is formulated with a heavy treatment
of zinc and other anti-wear additives for excellent protection of
gears, bearings, cam lobes and other high-pressure components
in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL Premium Protection
Synthetic Motor Oil helps extend equipment life.
Wet Clutch Compatible
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains no
friction modifiers, making it ideal for motorcycles, maintenance
equipment and other wet-clutch transmission applications.
Formulated to prevent clutch glazing and slippage, it helps
ensure smooth clutch engagement and long-term, dependable
transmission operation. Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil
reduces clutch wear for extended transmission life.
Resists Oxidation and
High-Temperature Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil is specifically
formulated to overcome the thermal deficiencies common to
conventional petroleum oils. Volatilization (burn-off), oxidation
and excessive deposit formation from high heat are greatly
reduced. Viscosity thickening is controlled and engines run
cleaner, promoting cooler operation and long engine life in air or
liquid-cooled engines.
Extends Drain Intervals in Gasoline
and Diesel Engines
Superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive
technology exceeds the requirements of both gasoline and
diesel engines. AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor Oil is
designed to neutralize acids, disperse soot and last longer in
service than conventional oils.

for air- and liquid-cooled, large or small gasoline and diesel
engines, transmissions and chaincase applications where

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium
Protection Motor Oil is compatible with conventional
and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with
other oils, however, will shorten the oil life expectancy and
reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL Synthetic Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Premium Protection Motor Oil is recommended for extended intervals in unmodified, mechanically-sound vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
•Normal and Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Motorcycles, Small Engines, Stationary Engines, Heavy Equipment and Other Applications
•Extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or follow the manufacturer-recommended drain interval.
AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters and replace at the time of oil change. Other oil filters should be changed at standard OEM* intervals.
