Full-SAPS
Formulation for Maximum Engine Protection
AMSOIL European Car Formula contains high-quality
anti-wear additives and surpasses the tough ACEA oil
specifications for high-temperature/high-shear
(HT/HS) viscosity. It provides outstanding
protection in high-rpm, hot-running engines and
delivers dependable long-term performance for the
extended drain intervals recommended by European
vehicle manufacturers.
Superior Engine
Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance
and detergency properties of AMSOIL European Car
Formula help keep engines clean. It is specially
designed to prevent sludge and varnish deposits,
reduce oil consumption, extend engine life and
provide maximum overall performance.
All-Season
Performance
The broad 5W-40 viscosity rating, low volatility
(burn-off) and wax-free nature of AMSOIL European
Car Formula make it excellent for hot and cold
temperatures. It helps reduce engine wear, control
oil thickening and provide easier cold starts.
Excellent For
Turbochargers
AMSOIL European Car Formula's robust formulation
delivers outstanding protection against the
extremely high temperatures produced by
turbochargers.
