PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil (ASE) is a robust formulation
designed for hot temperature, severe service operation of small engines
where routine maintenance is often difficult or infrequent. It is
formulated with premium synthetic base oils that exceed both 10W-30
multi-grade and SAE 30 straight-grade viscosity requirements. Unlike
conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ASE has a naturally high
viscosity index and does not contain paraffin (wax). It has a -38°F
pour point and qualifies for SAE 10W, making it an "all season,"
multi-grade lubricant with a wide operating temperature range. As an
SAE 30 weight motor oil, AMSOIL ASE provides outstanding protection for
hot operating engines. Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is a
commercial grade lubricant that helps improve productivity and reduce
maintenance costs through superior engine protection.
Resists Heat and Reduces Oil Consumption
AMSOIL engineered Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil to withstand the
high temperatures of hard working engines. It effectively resists
oxidation and oil vaporization to control oil thickening
and reduce oil consumption. AMSOIL ASE lasts longer in service than
conventional oils and keeps engines clean for peak operating efficiency.
Excellent For Transmission Systems
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is a shear stable formulation
that contains no friction modifiers. It will not break down during
rigorous mechanical activity, making it ideal for hydraulic or
hydrostatic systems and chain cases. It is wet clutch compatible and
designed to prevent clutch slippage in commercial or recreational
transmissions. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil protects gears
and bearings during high-demand, commercial duty service.
Superior Protection
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is formulated with high
levels of premium anti-wear and detergent additive technology. It
provides severe service protection of pistons, bearings and gears and
effectively neutralizes acids from combustion by-products prone to
small engines. Anti-rust additives further protect equipment during
storage or infrequent use.
Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil is recommended for use
wherever SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 oil is specified in gasoline or diesel
engines, transmissions, hydraulics and chain cases that require the
following:
- API SL, SJ, SH, SG...(Gasoline)
- API CF, CD (Diesel)
- JASO MA (Motorcycle Wet Clutch)

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Small Engine Oil 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. Aftermarket oil additives
are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor
oils.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s
recommended drain intervals.
