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
• Honda/Acura HTO-06
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.
