PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil (ASO)
is formulated specifically to meet the special needs of
today’s high-tech air- and water-cooled fourstroke
motorized scooters, offering unsurpassed wear protection
and friction reduction for longer equipment life and
cooler operating temperatures. Its exceptional shear
stability ensures consistent viscosity protection and
provides additional protection for transmissions and
gear boxes, while its friction modifier-free formulation
ensures wet clutch compatibility and smooth clutch
operation. A special anti-corrosion additive package
provides long-term protection during periods of
inactivity and storage.
Shear Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications increase
shear, causing conventional lubricants to lose viscosity
and reduce their ability to control wear, resulting in
shorter engine life. The synthetic formulation of
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil effectively
resists shear, delivering consistent viscosity
protection for unsurpassed wear protection and extended
equipment life.
Thermal Stability
The operating temperatures of scooter engines fluctuate
greatly, especially with air-cooled engines. Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil resists breakdown at
elevated temperatures, maintaining its protective
viscosity for maximum wear control.
Transmission and Gear Box
Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine and
transmission and/or gear box share the same oil
reservoir. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is
absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from
mechanical activity, providing superior protection for
transmissions and gear boxes.
Wet Clutch Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch to engage and
disengage the engine from the drivetrain. In many cases,
this clutch is immersed in the same oil used in the
engine and transmission. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil contains no friction modifiers and is wet
clutch compatible, offering smooth clutch operation and
increased clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended periods of
inactivity and storage, exposing the equipment to
internal rust and corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil is formulated with a special anti-corrosion
additive package designed to provide long-term
protection during periods of inactivity and storage.
Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is
recommended for use wherever SAE 10W-40 motor oil is
specified in air- and watercooled four-stroke motorized
scooter engines, transmissions and gear boxes that
require the following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet
clutch)
Engine manufacturers include, but are
not limited to, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa,
Aprilia, Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain
intervals.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter 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. Aftermarket oil additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health concerns
when used for the intended application and according to
the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
