AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil provides exceptional performance and protection for
high-performance European vehicles made by Volkswagen, Audi,
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche and more. Its low-viscosity
formulation maximizes fuel efficiency without compromising
engine protection, while meeting strict European performance
requirements for gasoline and direct-injection diesel engines
designed for low-viscosity oils. Formulated with low sulfated
ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS), AMSOIL European Car Formula
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil complies with modern emissions
systems to provide optimum life and performance.
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.
Stay-in-Grade Performance
Sophisticated European engines subject oil to severe
operational conditions. Oils must demonstrate excellent
high-temperature/high-shear (HT/HS) performance to maintain
viscosity and provide adequate engine protection. AMSOIL
European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to
stay in grade despite rigorous operation throughout the
extended drain intervals European automakers recommend.
Formulated with a select additive package and shear-stable
synthetic base oils, it meets strict ACEA and VW HT/HS
requirements to provide outstanding wear protection throughout
the entire drain interval.
Low-SAPS Formulation
Excessive sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) in motor
oil can harm modern exhaust treatment devices. Diesel
particulate filters (DPFs), for example, require low-SAPS motor
oil to resist filter plugging. AMSOIL European Car Formula
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil’s low-SAPS formulation promotes
optimum emissions system performance and life, allowing reduced
maintenance costs.
Maximum Fuel Economy
AMSOIL European Car Formula is engineered with a lighter 5W-30
viscosity and friction modifiers to reduce friction for
increased energy through-put. It minimizes internal engine
drag, providing an alternative for motorists currently using
heavier-grade oils, but who desire maximum fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Turbocharger
Protection
Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines commonly used in
European vehicles require thermally stable oils that resist
deposit formation and provide turbocharger cooling. Thermally
stable oils help keep oil passages clean and promote fluid
circulation so turbo bearings stay cool and lubricated.
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil provides protection and performance for TDI systems
in all temperature extremes. Its low pour point protects
turbochargers against oil starvation and ensures rapid oil
pressure in sub-zero conditions, while its thermal stability
withstands high-temperature/high-RPM breakdown to resist
deposit formations that can starve TDI systems of
lubrication.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is
formulated to meet or exceed the most demanding European
specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline or
diesel vehicles requiring any of the following performance
specifications:
• VW 504.00/507.00
• ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4
• Mercedes-Benz 229.51
• BMW LL-04
• Porsche C30
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for the extended drain intervals established by the
vehicle manufacturer. Change oil filter at time of oil
change.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is
compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing
AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the
oil’s 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 motor oils.
