AMSOIL Signature Series
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is the industry benchmark
in lubrication technology. Engineered with the
world’s finest
synthetic base oils and high performance additives, AMSOIL
Signature Series 0W-30 is designed for those who demand the
absolute best in motor oil performance. The exclusive
“extended drain” formulation delivers superior engine
protection and maximum fuel economy. AMSOIL Signature
Series 0W-30 is a premium grade synthetic motor oil that
exceeds the
requirements of modern, high-performance engines
and older engines. It replaces other 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30
motor oils and consistently outperforms competitive conventional
and
synthetic motor oils.

Do you run a flat tappet
cam? Protect your flat tappet camshaft
lobes with products containing high levels of zinc/phosphorus
(ZnDDP).
The below lubricants are recommended, they
contain the proper level of zinc/phosphorus to protect against
wear without the use of zinc additives.

Why should I protect
my engine with AMSOIL?
Engine oils contain anti-wear
additives and the most com-mon anti-wear chemistry is zinc
dialkyldithiophosphate (ZnDDP), which contains a combination
of zinc and phos-phorus. In 2005, in an effort to guarantee
catalytic con-verter performance in new vehicles, the American
Petro-leum Institute (API) and International Lubricants
Standards Approval Committee (ILSAC) instituted API SM and
IL-SAC GF-4 quality standards which reduced the maximum limit
for phosphorus to 0.085% and 0.080% respectively. Both API SM
and ILSAC GF-4 specifications also contain a minimum
phosphorus content of .065% and .060%. Previously, API
SL/ILSAC GF-3 oils were restricted to 0.10% phosphorus level,
so a concern arose that oils con-taining lower levels of
zinc/phosphorus could provide insuf-ficient protection in high
pressure areas of flat tappets and camshaft lobes found in
many older cars and high-performance engines.
Proper
assembly lubes and oil additives should be used dur-ing the
break-in phase for all new or rebuilt engines with flat
tappets. These additives provide the extra protection required
at the point of contact during break-in to help the flat
tappet face to properly mate with the cam lobe. Once the
break-in phase is completed, these additives should not be
used because of other engine life issues created by long term
use of these materials. AMSOIL does not provide break-in
assembly lubricants, but one of the common prod-ucts is GM
E.O.S., which is an assembly lubricant and is not, as stated
by GM, an engine oil additive. AMSOIL does not recommend using
any engine oil additives with AM-SOIL engine
lubricants.
High-performance modified engines benefit
from oils with superior film strength and anti-wear
properties. The flat tappet/camshaft lobe interface is the one
area in an engine that has extreme contact load. This load
increases signifi-cantly where non-stock, high-pressure valve
springs are em-ployed so the use of properly formulated engine
lubricants is extremely important to reduce wear and extend
flat tap-pet/camshaft life. In these applications, AMSOIL
recom-mends motor oils containing high levels of
zinc/phosphorus for superior protection.
AMSOIL AMO,
ARO, HDD, TRO, and AHR all contain high levels of
zinc/phosphorus maximizing flat tappet/camshaft life in stock
and modified applications.
AMSOIL 10W-40 (AMO) and 20W-50 (ARO) are premium
synthetic formulations which are recommended for API SL
(gasoline)/CI-4 Plus (heavy-duty, on-road diesel) specified
applications. They are an outstanding choice where high zinc
containing protection is required in late model hot rods
requiring extra camshaft protection.
AMSOIL (HDD) is a 5W-30 weight
combination diesel/gasoline oil with a higher starting TBN to
handle the signifi-cant stresses from high soot loading and
acid generation in modern diesel engines. HDD contains the
high phosphorus and zinc required for long life.
AMSOIL
20W-50 (TRO) is a premium
synthetic racing oil with superior film strength and anti-wear
protection for gasoline engines. It is an excellent choice for
street or race cars, hot rods, trucks or boats. TRO is the
preferred choice for highly modified, high horsepower engines
requiring the extra protection required by flat tappet
camshaft engines.
AMSOIL SAE 60 (AHR) is a super heavy
weight racing oil de-signed for alcohol and nitro burning race
engines where viscosity loss associated with fuel dilution is
a concern. AHR includes a high dose of zinc containing
anti-wear chemistry that race engines require.

AMSOIL
with Championship Off Road Racing
AMSOIL INC, The
First in Synthetics, will continue its rise in the off-road
racing market after signing an exclusive, three-year
marketing
deal with Championship Off Road Racing. Starting in 2008,
AMSOIL will become the Official Oil of CORR through
2010. CORR
offers the top teams in short course off-road racing. The
series will broadcast eight rounds of the Baldwin
Cup on NBC
Sports. Bill Weber and Wally Dallenback, both of NASCAR fame,
will provide the play-by-play and analysis for
the 13.5 hours
of network coverage. CORR has also announced that both its
NBC and SPEED coverage will include live, High-Definition
broadcasts, and that the NBC coverage will increase
from 60
minutes of airtime per race in 2007 to 90 minutes per race
in 2008. “AMSOIL believes in the vision and ambition that CORR
has demonstrated over the past few years,” says AMSOIL Race
Program Manager Jeremy Meyer. “They have the top competition,
the best television package and the resources to push off-road
racing into an exceptional period of growth and excitement for
years to come. Along with our off-road racers Scott Douglas
and Mike Oberg, the addition of CORR is a major boost to an
already successful racing program at AMSOIL.” The 2008 season
begins April 26-27 at the Los Angeles County Fairlplex, just
ten miles from downtown Los Angeles. The Pro 2 and Pro 4
points races from that event will air live on SPEED with
the Cup races airing on NBC in May. CORR will also race in
Chula
Vista, Calif., and Primm, Nevada.
