AMSOIL SAE 5W-30 Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL) - dramatically outperforms conventional motor oil. Reduces friction, heat, and wear for maximum power, performance, and fuel efficiency
AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic motor oil avoids high temperature burn off, chemical breakdown and developing sludge--keeps engines cleaner. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic oil has outstanding low temperature fluidity for rapidly, dependable winter begins and immediate start-up protection.
AMSOIL 5W-30 signature series synthetic motor oil exceeds one of the most demanding
world-wide performance standards and meets warranty requirements for all domestic
and imported passenger car engines, both turbo-charged and non-turbo-charged.
Up to 25,000-mile or 1-year drain intervals.
AMSOIL 5W-30 signature series synthetic motor oil is 100% chemically engineered
synthetic motor oil that exceeds the lubrication requirements of all contemporary automobile
engines, offering tough lubricating protection inside the most demanding operating
conditions. It resists high temperature degradation and flows freely in cold
conditions for substantial reduction in engine wear. AMSOIL 5W-30 offers superb
engine protection, maximum power, improved fuel efficiency and extended Oils
drain intervals.

LOWERS HIGH TEMPERATURE VAPORIZATION
- AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oils resist vaporizing in the high temperatures that vaporize motor oil. High vaporization loss leaves a thicker, higher viscosity Oils than is recommended. The NOACK Volatility Test, which measures the weight loss of oil due to evaporation, shows that most 5W-30 motor oil fail to pass the 13 percent ACEA pass/fail limit. In fact some Oil lose as much as 25 percent of their weight to volatility. AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil loses only 6.9 percent of its weight. AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil remains a 5W-30. It provides consistent high temperature protection and reduces Oils consumption and harmful emissions.
RESISTS OXIDATION AND THERMAL BREAKDOWN
- AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oils resist the damaging effects of heat, blow by chemicals and oxidation up to 10 times longer than motor oil. AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil resists forming varnish deposits and sludge. It doesn't thicken like petroleum Oil, but continues to cool and lubricate, providing peak engine performance and extended drain intervals. In addition, the advanced heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil reduce excessive operating temperatures of engines, transmissions and gear boxes, so they run cooler, cleaner and longer.
PROVIDES HIGH SHEAR STABILITY
- AMSOIL 5W-30 motor oil surpasses the North American SAE and European ACEA Oils specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It doesn't shear back to a lower viscosity oil at the high temperature/high shear conditions of today's smaller, high RPM auto engines. AMSOIL 5W-30 maintains an extremely protective viscosity of 3.5 cP at 302F (150C) in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test, far exceeding test limits of 2.9 cP.
EXCELLENT LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
- AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil remains fluid at temperatures as frigid as -60F (-51C). It permits easy engine cranking for fast starts and in sub-zero temperatures flows to all engine parts much faster than motor oil. The exceptional cold temperature properties of AMSOIL 5W-30 provide immediate cold start lubrication, greatly reducing engine wear and prolonging engine life.
REDUCES DEPOSIT FORMATION
- Because AMSOIL 5W-30 synthetic formulation resists oxidation so well, it runs naturally cleaner than motor oil. AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil also contains special detergent/dispersant additives that, when tested after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase, still exhibit outstanding deposit control. This combination of natural detergency and advanced additive package keeps AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil effective for up to 25,000 miles or one year in non-turbocharged gasoline-fueled cars.
PREVENTS RUST AND CORRISON
- AMSOIL 5W-30 motor oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials
AMSOIL recommends AMSOIL 5W-30 for Applications Requiring the Following Specifications:

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil is 100% compatible with conventional petroleum Oil; however, mixing AMSOIL 5W-30 motor oil with a conventional Oil will shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 5W-30. Oils additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Synthetic Oil. AMSOIL Signature Synthetic Oil is fully compatible with conventional motor oils.
For best results, however, use AMSOIL Engine Flush, and then install AMSOIL Signature Synthetic Oil. For maximum engine protection, use an AMSOIL Oils Filter and an AMSOIL Air Filter. Note: Most quick lube service centers will install these products upon request or install them yourself.
