PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is
specially formulated to provide superior protection and
performance in a wide variety of demanding applications. By
incorporating high-quality synthetic base
stocks and a superior high-zinc additive package, AMSOIL Premium
Protection Oil exceeds the needs of large and small gasoline or
diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor homes,
maintenance equipment, heavy equipment, street rods and marine
applications. It is ideal for high-mileage vehicles, vehicles
with flat-tappet cams and high-stress vehicles subject to hot
temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer pulling or off-road use.
AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes
acids, inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and protects against
deposits. It provides the extra anti-wear protection required by
engines with flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs.
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil offers
flexibility and performance beyond conventional oil 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.
Provides Superior
Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is a 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 engine life.
Exceeds the
Requirements of Wet Clutch Transmissions
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
insure smooth clutch engagement and long term, dependable
transmission operation.
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 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. In addition, the higher
viscosity nature of AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil may help
reduce motor oil consumption in equipment that experiences
higher-than-normal usage rates when lower-viscosity lubricants
are installed.
Extends Drain
Intervals in Gasoline and Diesel Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive technology
exceeds the requirements of both gasoline and diesel engines.
AMSOIL Premium Protection Motor Oil neutralizes acids, disperses
soot and lasts longer in service than conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oil is a multi-use, premium synthetic lubricant
for applications that require or benefit from a higher viscosity
oil. It is recommended for air and liquid cooled, large or small
gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions and chaincase
applications where 20W-50 oil is required with any of the
following specifications:
- API SL, SJ, SH, SG
- API CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CF, CF-2
- ISO-L-EMA • Caterpillar ECF-1
- JASO MA (Motorcycle) • MAN 271/3275 •
MTU Type 2
- Cummins 20071/20072/20076/20077 •

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 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 20W-50 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 Service - Up to 15,000 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.
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.
