PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® 10W-40 Synthetic Scooter Oil (ASO) is
formulated specifically to meet the special needs of today’s
high-tech air- and water-cooled fourstroke motorized scooters,
offering unsurpassed wear protection and friction reduction for
longer equipment life and cooler operating temperatures. Its
exceptional shear stability ensures consistent viscosity
protection and provides additional protection for transmissions
and gear boxes, while its friction modifier-free formulation
ensures wet clutch compatibility and smooth clutch operation. A
special anti-corrosion additive package provides long-term
protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Shear Stability
High engine rpms common to scooter applications increase shear,
causing conventional lubricants to lose viscosity and reduce
their ability to control wear, resulting in shorter engine
life. The synthetic formulation of Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic
Scooter Oil effectively resists shear, delivering consistent
viscosity protection for unsurpassed wear protection and
extended equipment life.
Thermal Stability
The operating temperatures of scooter engines fluctuate
greatly, especially with air-cooled engines. Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil resists breakdown at elevated
temperatures, maintaining its protective viscosity for maximum
wear control.
Transmission and Gear Box
Compatibility
In many scooter applications, the engine and transmission
and/or gear box share the same oil reservoir. Formula 4-Stroke
Synthetic Scooter Oil is absolutely shear stable and will not
thin out from mechanical activity, providing superior
protection for transmissions and gear boxes.
Wet Clutch Compatibility
Some scooters utilize a frictional clutch to engage and
disengage the engine from the drivetrain. In many cases, this
clutch is immersed in the same oil used in the engine and
transmission. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil contains
no friction modifiers and is wet clutch compatible, offering
smooth clutch operation and increased clutch life.
Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Scooters are often subjected to extended periods of inactivity
and storage, exposing the equipment to internal rust and
corrosion. Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is formulated
with a special anti-corrosion additive package designed to
provide long-term protection during periods of inactivity and
storage.
Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is recommended
for use wherever SAE 10W-40 motor oil is specified in air- and
watercooled four-stroke motorized scooter engines,
transmissions and gear boxes that require the following:
- API SG, SL/CF
- JASO MA/MA2 (motorcycle wet clutch)
Engine manufacturers include, but are not
limited to, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia,
Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB.
Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain
intervals.

Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is compatible
with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor
oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life
expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil
additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor
oils.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used
for the intended application and according to the
recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An
MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the
AMSOIL Website. Keep Out of Reach of
Children. Don’t pollute. Return used oil to collection
