PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is a premium oil designed for
those who demand the absolute best lubrication for their
motorcycles. It 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
10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is multi-functional and fulfills the
requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It
outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
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.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with
AMSOIL 10W-30
Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil. It exceeds the standard for high-temperature
film strength (see graph at right) to deliver excellent wear
protection. It keeps engines running cool by effectively reducing
friction and heat, and it contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear
additives to reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions.
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable
and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is
extremely resistant to volatility and is engineered to prevent
damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.
Provides Extreme Pressure Quality
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for
separate transmission lubricants. It is shear stable and will not
thin out from mechanical activity. It performs like a gear lube
without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives, such as
poor wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short
drives. Rust can cause major damage such as 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 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains special
anti-rust agents that deliver superior rust protection. With its
high 11.1 total base number (TBN), 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
provides greater protection from acid corrosion and helps maintain
internal engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains no friction
modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch
engagement. It is engineered to control heat and prevent slippage
and glazing, promoting longer clutch life.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is recommended for liquid- or
air-cooled four-stroke motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and UTVs
requiring an SAE 10W-30 fluid. It meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil
requirements and is recommended for transmissions on both two- and
four-stroke motorcycles. AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is
recommended for Honda®, Yamaha®, Suzuki® and Kawasaki® motorcycles
and scooters, as well as Arctic Cat®, Can-Am®, Honda, Kawasaki and
Suzuki ATVs and UTVs. Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear
oil is required.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is compatible with
conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may
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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change
interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in
engines and transmissions. When using an engine filter other than
AMSOIL Ea® Motorcycle Oil Filter, change the filter at standard
intervals. For off-road use, change AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil at motorcycle manufacturer intervals. Racing or
modified engines are excluded from extended drain interval
recommendations; oil changes are at the owner’s
discretion.
