PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils are specially formulated with premium synthetic
base stocks and robust additive packages to
provide tough lubricating protection in the
most demanding operations. They are recommended
for use in all four-cycle motorcycle and ATV
engines, including those with wet clutch systems.
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.
Testing shows that AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils provide up to 80 percent better wear protection
than other motorcycle oils (see graph).
Some four-cycle
motorcycle and ATV transmissions and engines
share an oil sump, so the engine oil also provides
wear protection to the transmission gears. AMSOIL
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils also provide superior
lubricating protection in the engines, primary
chaincases and transmissions of Most Harley-Davidson®
motorcycles, including Evolution XL, Evolution
1340, Twin Cam 88 and 88B, Revolution and Buell
models.
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.
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 oxidation 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 petrol motorcycle
engines requiring any of the following specifications:
API SJ, SH,
SG, SF, CF, CD, JASO MA
AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are excellent for
use in two-cycle motorcycle transmissions where
a JASO MA fluid is recommended.
Use in US and European motorcycles, all four-cycle motorbikes and ATV engines, including those with wet clutch systems.
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are compatible with
conventional petroleum oils; however, mixing
AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils with conventional motorcycle
oils may shorten the drain periods and compromise
the superior quality of AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils.
Because AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils are formulated
to provide superior lubrication performance,
engine oil additives or aftermarket products
are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Motorcycle
Oils.
SERVICE
LIFE
Change AMSOIL High
Performance Synthetic Motorcycle Oil according
to manufacturer's recommendations without oil
filtration. With oil filtration, change oil
up to two times longer than manufacturer's recommendations
or six months, whichever comes first. When using
an AMSOIL SDF or SMF filter, change filter at
two times the manufacturer's recommendations.
Hastings or other filter brands should be changed
at manufacturer's recommendations.
