PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil (SSO) is the industry benchmark in
lubrication technology. Engineered with the
world’s finest synthetic base oils and high
performance additives, AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 is designed for those who demand the
absolute best in motor oil performance. The
exclusive “extended drain” formulation delivers
superior engine protection and maximum fuel
economy. AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 is a
premium grade synthetic motor oil that exceeds
the requirements of modern, high-performance
engines and older engines. It replaces other
0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 motor oils and
consistently outperforms competitive
conventional and synthetic motor oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in
automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the
world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil
in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of
AMSOIL The First in
Synthetics® to do the best job
protecting your engine.
Extends Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL Signature 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
lasts much longer in service than conventional
oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long
drain additive system resist oxidation and
neutralize the acids that shorten the service
life of other oils. AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 delivers the best possible engine
protection, cleanliness and performance over
extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel
Efficiency
The lightweight molecular structure of AMSOIL
Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil
reduces energy loss from the “drag” common to
high viscosity oils. It is fortified with
additives that enhance its friction-reducing
properties to help further improve fuel
efficiency.
Reduces
Wear
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil contains specialized anti-wear technology.
Its durable, high temperature film strength
effectively separates metal surfaces to reduce
wear even under the most grueling conditions.
Tests prove that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30
provides better protection against wear than
other motor oils (see graph). AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 helps engines last longer.

Resists Heat, Reduces
Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil is thermally stable with a strong
resistance to high temperature volatility
(burn-off). It is heavily fortified with
detergent and dispersant additives designed to
prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean.
Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil
consumption and emissions.
Provides Outstanding
Cold Flow Properties
Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 contains no wax. Its exceptional
-60°F cold flow properties ease starting and
reduce bearing wear.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil is recommended for use in gasoline engines,
diesel engines (API CF, ACEA B5) and other
applications requiring SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 or
10W-30 with the following worldwide
specifications:
• API SM/CF, SL, SJ …
• ILSAC GF-4, 3 …
• ACEA A5/B5-04
• GM 4718M, 6094M
• Ford WSS-M2C929-A
• Daimler Chrysler MS-6395N
• VW 503.00
• Honda/Acura HTO-06
Mixing
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 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. AMSOIL
does not support extended drain intervals where
oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are
not recommended for use with
AMSOIL motor oils.
Service
Life
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor
Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals
in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up
to 35,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 miles or
one year, whichever comes first.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time
of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first (other brands
at standard OEM* intervals).
• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle
applications, extend the oil change
interval according to oil analysis or
follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM - Original Equipment
Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under
modified conditions are excluded from extended
drain recommendations. Examples include the use
of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved
exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the
use of fuels other than those recommended for
normal operation by the manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound
engines are in good working condition and do
not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive
amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do
not leak anti-freeze and have properly working
emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends
repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the
installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles
frequently traveling greater than 10 miles
(16km) at a time and not operating under severe
service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged
vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles,
extensive engine idling, first and subsequent
use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000
miles, daily short trip driving less than 10
miles (16km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling
or dusty condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil
filters are designed for extended drain
intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow
more oil and last longer than regular filters.
For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea full-flow
oil filters.
