AMSOIL Synthetic High Performance 20W-50 Motorcycle Engine Oil is
specially formulated to provide tough lubricating protection in the most
demanding operations. It is recommended for use in all four-cycle
motorcycle and ATV engines, including those with wet clutch systems requiring
API CD, SG-CG
or SH-CD oils. WEAR
PROTECTION AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are specially formulated with
high levels of zinc and phosphorous for superior protection of cam lobes
and other high pressure components. In act, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils contain more zinc and phosphorous than other popular motorcycle oils
(see graph). AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils leave a wear scar up to 40
percent smaller than the scars left by other popular brands in the ATM
D4172 Four-Ball Wear Test. Some
motorcycle and ATV transmissions and engines share an oil sump, so the
engine oil also provides wear protection to the transmission gears. AMSOIL
offers superior wear protection to transmission gears, which are often
subject to high surface pressure and rotation speed. It also promotes
proper wet clutch performance.
FRICTION
MODIFIER FREE AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils contain
no friction modifiers, making them ideal for motorcycle and ATV engines.
The friction modifier free formulation of AMSOIL ensures dependable
starting, smooth running, good fuel efficiency, desirable stall speeds and
clutch compatibility. PERFORMANCE
FORMULATED AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils contain a robust
dispersant/detergent package, making them ideal for use in high-stress
motorcycle engines. The dispersant/detergent additive packages allow them
to stay serviceable longer than other oils. TEMPERATURE
AND PERFORMANCE AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils provide superior performance. Their outstanding
low temperature fluidity ensures easy cranking, dependable starting and
fast post-startup protection. The superior high-temperature protection
ensures the formation of a clean, protective film of oil between working
parts during high-temperature, high-stress operations. High-temperature
operations often lead to the thermal degradation and oxidaion of
conventional oils, which leads to the formation of deposits, sludge and
varnish. AMSOIL withstands thermal degradation and oxidation at higher
temperatures than conventional oils do, ensuring clean, dependable
performance in high-stress, high-temperature operations. Especially in
air-cooled engines. APPLICATIONS AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
may be used in all four-cycle air- and liquid-cooled gasoline motorcycle
engines requiring any of the following specifications: API SJ, SH, SG,
SF, CH-4, CG-4, CF-2, CF, CD, JASO MA In general, Japanese motorcycles
use 10W-40 (AMF) while US and European motorcycles use 20W-50
(AMV). Check
your owner's manual.

NEW VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
will not void new motorcycle warranties. New motorcycle warranties
are based on the use of oils meeting specific API service
classifications and SAE viscosity grades. AMSOIL meets the current
API and SAE requirements (as labeled) and is perfectly suited for
use in any new motorcycle stipulating those requirements. SERVICE
LIFE AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
(AMF and AMV) are formulated for extended drain intervals. Change
AMF and AMV at three times the engines manufacturer's recommended
drain interval or one year, whichever comes first. If a vehicle is
equipped with an AMSOIL Oil Filter, the filter should be changed at
12,500-mile or six-month intervals. (whichever comes first) in
gasoline engines. Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the
engine manufacturer's recommended filter change interval. RACING
ENGINES Change AMF and AMV at intervals specified by
used oil analysis. MARINE
CRAFT AND OCCASIONALLY USED GASOLINE ENGINES AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils are also ideal for marine engines and all terrain vehicles
(ATVs). Change AMV at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever comes first. FLEET
MOTORCYCLES Change AMF at three times the engine
manufacturer's recommended drain interval or six months, whichever
comes first. AMSOIL PRODUCT
WARRANTY AMSOIL INC. warrants that the use of its
lubricants will not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically
sound equipment when AMSOIL INC. products are used in full
compliance with AMSOIL recommendations.
