Q.
Can I use AMSOIL AFF 0W-40 in my new 4-stroke
snowmobile?
A. Absolutely! AMSOIL AFF 0W-40 was
specifically formulated for use in small, hard
working 4-stroke 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. AMSOIL AFF can most certainly be used in
cars or trucks but it is not our first choice for
automotive applications. We offer a full line of
automotive oils.
AFF is specifically formulated for small
recreational 4-stroke engines, and is an excellent
choice for 4-Stroke outboards, ATVs, lawn equipment,
snow blowers etc…. |
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.
