AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive
gasoline engines. By combining industry-premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives,
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It
withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emissions control systems.
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to outperform competitive conventional and synthetic
motor oils. It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.
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.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for
conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system are inherently stable to
resist oxidation and neutralize acids over longer periods. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to
deliver the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals. It
reduces vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel
economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more freely and reduce
friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine Wear
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has excellent viscosity film
strength to separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives to further reduce wear in metal-to-metal
contact regions for improved engine life.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Signature
Series Synthetic Motor Oil exhibits an extremely low volatility rate; it controls volatility-related oil
consumption and emissions.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown better than conventional oils. It
is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to help prevent sludge deposits and keep engines
clean. And unlike conventional oils, Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil contains no wax, staying fluid in the
coldest winter temperatures for easier starting, improved oil flow and reduced bearing wear.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is excellent for use in all types of gasoline-fueled vehicles. It
is recommended for all domestic and foreign vehicles requiring any of the listed performance
specifications:
0W-20 (ASM): API SN (Resource Conserving), SM…; ILSAC GF-5, GF-4…; ACEA A5/B5,
A1/B1; GM 6094M; Ford WSS-M2C945-A, WSS-M2C930-A; Chrysler MS-6395N
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with other 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 synthetic motor oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
• 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 (non-stock) 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 or
consume excessive amounts of oil, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak antifreeze and have properly
working emissions 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 engines, commercial or fleet vehicles, excessive idling, vehicles with
more than 100,000 miles without prior continuous use of AMSOIL motor oil, 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 change intervals. They stop smaller
particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow
Oil Filters.
