PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is the
industry benchmark in lubrication technology. Engineered with
the world’s finest synthetic base oils and high performance
additives, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is designed for those
who demand the absolute best in motor oil performance. 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. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oils
and consistently outperforms competitive conventional and
synthetic motor 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.
Extends Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL Signature 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 Wear
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil contains
specialized anti-wear technology. Its durable, high temperature
film strength effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce
wear even under the most grueling conditions. Tests prove that
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 provides better protection against
wear than other motor oils (see graph). AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 helps engines last longer.

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). It is heavily fortified with detergent and
dispersant additives 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:
• API SM/CF, SL, SJ …
• ILSAC GF-4, 3 …
• ACEA A5/B5-04
• GM 4718M, 6094M
• Ford WSS-M2C929-A
• Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
• VW 503.00
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 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 motor oils.
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:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000 miles
or one year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 miles or one year,
whichever comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time of oil change up
to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other
brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications, extend
the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow
the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
(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.
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.
