PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic
Scooter Oil (ASO) is formulated specifically to
meet the special needs of today’s high-tech
air- and water-cooled fourstroke motorized
scooters, offering unsurpassed wear protection
and friction reduction for longer equipment
life and cooler operating temperatures. Its
exceptional shear stability ensures consistent
viscosity protection and provides additional
protection for transmissions and gear boxes,
while its friction modifier-free formulation
ensures wet clutch compatibility and smooth
clutch operation. A special anti-corrosion
additive package provides long-term protection
during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Shear
Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications
increase shear, causing conventional lubricants
to lose viscosity and reduce their ability to
control wear, resulting in shorter engine life.
The synthetic formulation of Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil effectively resists
shear, delivering consistent viscosity
protection for unsurpassed wear protection and
extended equipment life.
Thermal
Stability
The operating temperatures of scooter engines
fluctuate greatly, especially with air-cooled
engines. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil
resists breakdown at elevated temperatures,
maintaining its protective viscosity for
maximum wear control.
Transmission and Gear
Box Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine and
transmission and/or gear box share the same oil
reservoir. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter
Oil is absolutely shear stable and will not
thin out from mechanical activity, providing
superior protection for transmissions and gear
boxes.
Wet Clutch
Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch to
engage and disengage the engine from the
drivetrain. In many cases, this clutch is
immersed in the same oil used in the engine and
transmission. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil contains no friction modifiers and
is wet clutch compatible, offering smooth
clutch operation and increased clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended
periods of inactivity and storage, exposing the
equipment to internal rust and corrosion.
Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is
formulated with a special anti-corrosion
additive package designed to provide long-term
protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil
is recommended for use wherever SAE 10W-40
motor oil is specified in air- and watercooled
four-stroke motorized scooter engines,
transmissions and gear boxes that require the
following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle
wet clutch)
Engine manufacturers include,
but are not limited to, Honda, Kawasaki,
Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia, Piaggio,

Mixing
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter 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.
