PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil (MCT) is a premium oil
designed for those who demand the absolute best lubrication for
their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is the result of extensive
research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas
unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet clutch
lubrication, extreme pressure regions of gears and rust common
to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL MCT is multi-functional and fulfills the
requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It
outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle
oils.
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.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed
with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. AMSOIL 10W-30 keeps
engines running cool by effectively reducing friction and heat,
and it contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to
reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions (see
Four-Ball Wear Test graph below). AMSOIL MCT is thermally
(heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation
inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to volatility
(see NOACK Volatility graph on reverse) and engineered to
prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine
cleanliness.


Provides Extreme Pressure Quality Protection
for Gears With AMSOIL MCT, there is no need for
separate transmission lubricants. It is shear stable and will
not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL MCT performs like
a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme pressure
additives, such as poor wet-clutch performance.
Delivers Superior Rust and Corrosion
Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short
drives. Rust can cause major damage such as uncontrolled wear,
compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however,
comes by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many
motorcycle oils, AMSOIL MCT contains special anti-rust agents
that deliver superior rust protection. With its high TBN (see
TBN graph on reverse), AMSOIL 10W-30 provides greater
protection from acid corrosion and helps maintain internal
engine cleanliness.
Provides Excellent Wet Clutch
Performance AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motorcycle Oil
contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and
positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and prevents
slippage and glazing, promoting longer clutch life.

APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for liquid- or air-cooled
4-stroke motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and UTVs requiring an SAE
10W-30 fluid. It meets SAE 80, API GL-1 gear oil requirements
and is recommended for transmissions on both 4- and 2-stroke
motorcycles. AMSOIL MCT is recommended for Honda®, Yamaha®,
Suzuki® and Kawasaki® motorcycles and scooters, as well as
Arctic Cat®, Can-Am®, Honda®, Kawasaki® and Suzuki® ATVs and
UTVs. Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is
required.
MIXING AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional and
synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may shorten the oil
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 motorcycle oil.
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer
change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes
first, in engines and transmissions. When using an engine
filter other than AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard
intervals.
For “off road” use, change AMSOIL MCT at motorcycle
manufacturer intervals.
Racing or modified engines are excluded from extended
drain interval recommendations. Oil changes
are at the owner's discretion.
