AMSOIL has introduced a premier motor oil with a new, personal image. Supplemented with a proprietary ashless antiwear system for improved heat and viscosity control and boasting a 10 percent increase in TBN (13.2), new Signature Series 0W-30 sets the standard for protection and performance. Personally endorsed by AMSOIL founder and president Al Amatuzio, each bottle bears his signature and describes how he developed the first API qualified synthetic motor oil, thereby launching the synthetic motor oil industry.

Engineered with the world's finest synthetic base oils and high performance additives, the exclusive extended drain formulation delivers superior engine protection and maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is a premium grade synthetic motor oil that exceeds the requirements of modern, high-performance engines and older engines, replacing other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oils.

Extends Service Life

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lasts much longer in service than conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system resist oxidation and neutralize the acids that shorten the service life of other oils. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 delivers the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.

Maximizes Fuel Efficiency

The lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil reduces energy loss from the "drag" common to high viscosity oils. It is fortified with additives that enhance its friction-reducing properties to help further improve fuel efficiency.

Reduces Wear0W-30 4-ball wear test

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains specialized anti-wear technology so that engines last longer. Its durable, high temperature film strength effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce wear even under the most grueling conditions.

Resists Heat, Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off). Heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is designed to prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.

Provides Outstanding Cold Flow Properties

Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 contains no wax. Its exceptional -60°F cold flow properties ease starting and reduce bearing wear.

Applications

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for use in gasoline engines, diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other applications requiring SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30 with the following worldwide specifications:

Service Life

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2), gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows:

  1. Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer.
  2. Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
  3. Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
  4. Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.
