Product Description
Passenger car and light-truck engines today
are built for fuel efficiency and power. AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil optimizes efficiency and power without
the sacrifice in wear protection that comes with many
fuel-efficient, low-viscosity oils.
Testing shows AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil dramatically outperforms popular conventional
and synthetic motor oils of much higher viscosity in wear
protection (see chart).

Fuel Efficient Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
efficiently transfers energy from the engine to the drivetrain.
Its low coefficient of friction inhibits the energy loss to
"drag" common to high viscosity oils.
Motorists seeking the ultimate in fuel
efficiency may use AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oils.
High Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
protects in high temperatures better than the conventional and
synthetic oils tested, regardless of viscosity (see chart). Even
after extended service in the engine, Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil maintains its ability to protect in high
temperatures.
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
is specially formulated for superior cold temperature engine
protection. Series 2000 retains excellent fluidity in extremely
low temperatures, so it flows quickly and reliably to allow easy
starting and immediate lubricating protection.
Motorists seeking cold temperature
dependability and protection may use AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil in place of 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor
oils.
Heat Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
is highly resistant to volatility. For example, in heat that
causes conventional motor oils to lose as much as 25 percent of
their mass, AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil loses
less than ten percent.
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil's
resistance to volatility keeps oil consumption extremely low
and, more importantly, keeps the engine thoroughly lubricated
and protected. Its resistance to volatility also helps keep fuel
efficiency high and emissions low.
Clean Engine Formula
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
remains free of sludge, varnish and other by-products of high
temperature degradation. With no deposits to foul them, engines
stay cleaner longer for top performance and efficiency and
maximum service life.
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
is highly shear-resistant. With AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic
0W-30 Motor Oil's excellent viscosity retention, the protection
that goes into the engine is the protection that stays in the
engine, even over an extended course of severe service.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil
may be mixed with petroleum-based oils or other synthetic oils.
However, a mixture of AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor
Oil and another oil may offer a shorter service life than pure
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil does.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 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 (16 km) at a time and not operating under
severe service.
(4) Turbo/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 (16 km), 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 full-flow oil filters.
