![]() |
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION |
By incorporating high quality synthetic base stocks and additives, AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil exceeds the needs of large and small gasoline or diesel engines in cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor homes, maintenance equipment, heavy equipment, street rods and marine applications. It is ideal for high mileage vehicles with flat-tappet cams and high-stress vehicles subject to hot temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer pulling or off road use.
"I just put AMSOIL in my new Toyota at 6,000 miles and the mileage jumped three miles per gallon - a 10 percent increase. I can't understand why everyone doesn't use this fantastic product." G.D., Chicago, Illinois |
AMSOIL Premium Protection Oil resists oxidation, neutralizes acids, inhibits corrosion, reduces wear and protects against deposits. It provides the extra anti-wear protection required by engines with flat-tappet cams and high-tension valve springs. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil offers flexibility and performance beyond conventional oils for convenience and trouble free operation. The higher viscosity nature of AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Premium Protection motor oil may help reduce motor oil consumption in equipment experiencing higher than normal oil usage rates while running lower viscosity lubricants.
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.
Provides Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is a high viscosity oil
engineered to protect against metal-to-metal contact. It resists viscosity shear
and is formulated with a heavy treatment of zinc and other anti-wear additives
for excellent protection of gears, bearings, cam lobes and other high-pressure
components in engines and transmissions. AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic
Motor Oil helps extend engine life.
Exceeds the Requirements of Wet
Clutch Transmissions
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil contains no friction modifiers,
making it ideal for motorcycles, maintenance equipment and other wet clutch
transmission applications. Formulated to prevent clutch glazing and slippage, it
insures smooth clutch engagement and long term, dependable transmission
operation. AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil reduces
clutch wear for extended transmission life.
Resists Oxidation and High
Temperature Breakdown
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil overcomes the thermal deficiencies
common to conventional petroleum oils. Volatilization (burn-off), oxidation and
excessive deposit formation from high heat are greatly reduced. Viscosity
thickening is controlled and engines run clean, promoting cooler operation and
long engine life in air or liquid cooled engines.
Extends Drain Intervals in Gasoline
and Diesel Engines
The superior AMSOIL synthetic base stock and additive technology exceeds the
requirements of both gasoline and diesel engines. AMSOIL Premium Protection
Motor Oil neutralizes acids, disperses soot and lasts longer in service than
conventional oils.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
a multi-use, premium synthetic lubricant for applications that require or
benefit from a higher viscosity oil. It is recommended for air and liquid
cooled, large or small gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions and chaincase
applications where 20W-50 oil is required with any of the following
specifications:
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor 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. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where
oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oil is
recommended for extended intervals in unmodified, mechanically-sound vehicles or
equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
•Normal Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
•Severe Service - Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis.
Motorcycles, Small Engines,
Stationary Engines, Heavy Equipment and Other Applications
•Extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or follow the
manufacturer-recommended drain interval.
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 and replace at the time of oil change. Other oil filters should be changed at standard OEM* intervals.
