Product Description
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil is specially
formulated for the lubrication needs of European
gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated
with advanced AMSOIL synthetic base stocks, premium
additives and a broad 5W-40 viscosity rating,
AMSOIL 5W-40 allows motorists to take advantage
of the maximum extended drain intervals recommended
by European automakers while providing second-to-none
protection and performance in the most demanding
operating conditions.
Maximum Engine
Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil surpasses
the North American SAE and European ACEA oil specifications
for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity.
It does not shear back to a lower viscosity oil
in the high temperature/high shear conditions
of today’s smaller, high RPM automobile engines.
AMSOIL 5W-40 contains high quality anti-wear additives
for superior engine protection. It resists the
damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals and
oxidation for extended drain intervals, providing
cool, clean and
efficient engine performance.
Reduced Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil does
not vaporize (burn off) in the high temperatures
that vaporize conventional motor oils. It provides
consistent high temperature protection, improved
fuel economy and reduced oil consumption and emissions.
Provides Low Temperature
Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil remains
fluid at temperatures as frigid as -59°F (-51°C),
permitting easy engine cranking
for fast starts and immediate start-up protection,
greatly reducing engine wear and prolonging engine
life.
Prevents Rust
and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil contains
special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect
iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum
bearing materials.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Engine Oil is
compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however,
AMSOIL mixed with conventional oils is not recommended
for extended drain intervals. Engine oil additives
or after-market products are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL 5W-40.
Caution:
Continuous contact with used oil has caused
skin cancer in lab testing. Avoid prolonged skin
contact. Avoid eye contact. Wash skin thoroughly
with soap and water after handling. Flush eyes
with water for 15 minutes in case of contact.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Contact
a physician immediately. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN. Don't pollute. Return used oil to
collection centers.
| AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are fully compatible with conventional motor oil. For best results,
however, use AMSOIL
Engine Flush, then install AMSOIL synthetic
motor oil.
For maximum engine protection,
use an AMSOIL
Oil Filter and an AMSOIL
Air Filter.
Note: Most quick
lube service centers will install these
products upon request or install them
yourself.
