PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is chemically
formulated to deliver unsurpassed protection for natural gas
engines. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil has a low-ash formula
with highly effective rust and corrosion inhibitors. It
circulates quickly to critical engine components for fast,
easy cold-weather engine start-ups and has a very low
volatility to remain stable in hot engine conditions. AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil will not break down like petroleum
oils because it resists the effects of high temperature
oxidation much longer than petroleum oils do.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
Natural gas engines are unique in that they must
often operate in locations where service is infrequent. Many
natural gas engines undergo long periods of inactivity. The
rust and corrosion inhibitors in AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil provide protection during periods when the engine is not
running or running intermittently.
Improves Spark Plug Reliability
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is an extremely
low-ash oil, which greatly reduces spark plug fouling and
post plugging in two-cycle natural gas engines and virtually
eliminates ring belt deposits in four-cycle natural gas
engines. In some four-cycle applications, port cleanings
have been reduced four-fold.
Maintains Viscosity
Due to its synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Natural
Gas Engine Oil is a true SAE 40 oil, yet it passes SAE 20W
viscosity specifications for low temperature performance
without the use of special additives.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil resists the
damaging effects of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up
to ten times longer than do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural
Gas Engine Oil neutralizes sludge and acid formation to
provide engines with long-lasting performance and
reliability.
Performs in Cold Weather
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil remains fluid in
extremely cold temperatures. It resists the low temperature
congealing that often occurs in petroleum oils. AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil ensures instant start-ups, fast oil
circulation and ideal protection under frigid conditions.
Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil affords exceptional
extended drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis
program. Periodic oil analysis should be conducted at the
engine manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals. Change
the oil filter at the recommended engine manufacturer’s
drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is
compatible with conventional petroleum oils and other
synthetic lubricants; however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce the drain
interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil. Engine oil
additives or after-market products are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
Note:
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil
should not be used in automotive engines that have been
modified to use propane or natural gas.
