engines. AFF is ideal for 4-cycle snowmobiles, ATV's, personal
watercraft, 4-stroke boat motors, lawn equipment etc...
Q. Can I use AMSOIL AFF 0W-40 in my
car or truck?
A. YES. AMSOIL AFF 0W-40 can be
used in in any gasoline 4-stroke automobile engine. Recommended
change intervals are at 7500 miles, or 6 months. AMSOIL AFF can
also be used in diesel powered cars or trucks, with change
intervals as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. |
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is specially formulated for
four-stroke recreational motors, including ATVs, outboard motors and
motorcycles. It may also be used in cars and trucks. Its broad viscosity
range makes it excellent for use in both hot and cold temperature
extremes.
Resists High Temperature Vaporization
Conventional motor oils tend to vaporize and lose weight in high
temperature conditions, contributing to poor oil circulation, reduction in
fuel efficiency and excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is highly resistant to evaporation. While
conventional petroleum oils thicken due to evaporation, AMSOIL Formula
4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil maintains its viscosity in high temperature
service. The superior evaporation resistance of AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Motor Oil keeps engine wear, oil consumption and emissions to a
minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and fuel economy high.
Friction Modifier Free
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains no friction
modifiers, making it ideal for ATV, outboard motor and motorcycle engines.
The friction modifier free formulation of AMSOIL 4-Stroke ensures
transmission (manual or automatic) and clutch compatibility and prevents
slip.
Performance Formulated
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil contains a robust
dispersant/detergent package, making it ideal for use in high-stress
four-cycle engines. The dispersant/detergent additive package effectively
suspends harmful combustion by-products and prevents deposits, keeping
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke clean and serviceable.
High-temperature operations often lead to the thermal degradation and
oxidation of conventional oils, leading to the formation of deposits,
sludge and varnish. The superior oxidative and thermal stability of AMSOIL
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil inhibits the formation of varnish,
deposits and sludge so equipment runs clean in high-stress, high
temperature operations.
Temperature and Performance
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil has a broad viscosity range,
making it excellent for use in both hot and cold temperature extremes. As
an SAE 40 weight motor oil, AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke provides superior
protection for hot operating, hard working motors, while its SAE 0W rating
ensures easy cranking, excellent cold weather starting and quick
post-startup protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil protects equipment from copper
corrosion and rust, even during equipment storage. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Motor Oil does not foam in service, protecting equipment from
the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with use of foam-filled
fluids.

Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil may be used in all
applications specifying 0W-40, 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40 viscosity grades
and is recommended for applications specifying the following:
• API SJ, SH, SG, SF, CD, CF
• JASO MA
Use in Yamaha®, Suzuki®, Honda®, Mercury®, Kawasaki®, Arctic Cat®,
Polaris®, Nissan® and Bombardier® motors and transmissions. Safe in wet
or dry sumps. Recommended for manual or automatic clutches.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with other
four-stroke fluids. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Motor Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service life than
pure AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil.
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with and
recommended for use with clutch plates in ATV’s and motorcycle
transmissions.
Installation
Change AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Motor Oil according to
manufacturer's recommendations, without oil filtration. With oil
filtration (AMSOIL SDF Filter), up to 2 times longer than manufacturer's
recommendations or 6 months, whichever comes first. If a Hastings or other
filter is used, filter should be changed at manufacturer's
recommendations.
