PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle
Oil (MCS) is a premium oil designed for those who demand
the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles.
AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive
research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all
areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM,
wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of
gears and rust common to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle
Oil features superior heat resistance and wear
protection. It is shear-stable and helps maintain proper
oil pressure in elevated temperatures. AMSOIL Synthetic
SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil stops viscosity breakdown (loss),
protects gears and chains, and meets SAE 140, API GL-1
gear oil requirements. It is multi-functional and
fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign
motorcycles. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil outperforms
other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in
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
motorcycle.
Reduces Friction, Heat
and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not
sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has
exceptional high-temperature film strength and contains
a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear
regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable and contains
maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is
extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to
prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior
engine cleanliness.
Extreme-Pressure
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need
for a separate transmission lubricant. It is
shear-stable and will not thin out from mechanical
activity. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil performs like a
gear lube without the negative effects of
extreme-pressure additives.
Superior Rust
Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and
short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller
bearing failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and
blow-by. Good rust protection, however, comes by design
and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many
motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
contains special anti-rust agents.
Excellent Wet-Clutch
Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil contains no
friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and
positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps
prevent slippage and glazing, while its high TBN helps
improve clutch life by resisting the acids that can
degrade clutch material.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is recommended
for early-model air-cooled V-Twin engines where a
60-weight motor oil is specified. SAE 60 motor oils are
commonly used in Harley-Davidson® Knucklehead, Panhead,
Shovelhead and big-bore motorcycles. AMSOIL Synthetic
SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil meets API SG, SL/CF; API GL-1;
JASO MA/MA2 and ISO-L-EMA2.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is compatible
with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing
AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten
the oil’s life expectancy and reduce its 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
Motorcycle Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle’s
manufacturer-recommended change interval (miles/hours)
or one year, whichever comes first, in engines and
transmissions. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson
transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson
recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to
20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. When
using an engine filter other than an AMSOIL Ea
Motorcycle Oil Filter, change the filter at standard
intervals.
For off-road use, change
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil at the motorcycle’s
manufacturer- recommended intervals.
Racing or modified
engines are excluded from extended drain interval
recommendations. Oil changes are at the owner’s
discretion.
