MAXIMUM ENGINE PROTECTION
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 5W-40 European Formula Motor Oil contains high quality anti-wear additives and surpasses the tough ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear viscosity. It provides outstanding protection in high RPM, hot running engines and delivers dependable long-term performance for the extended drain intervals set by European automakers.

SUPERIOR ENGINE CLEANLINESS
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and detergency properties of AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 5W-40 European Formula Motor Oil keep engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent sludge and varnish deposits for reduced oil consumption, extended engine life and maximum overall performance.

MINIMIZES EXHAUST EMISSIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 5W-40 European Formula Motor Oil is designed for newer vehicle emission control systems. It meets current industry and vehicle manufacturer requirements for long life protection of gasoline vehicle catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPF).

ALL SEASON PERFORMANCE
The broad 5W-40 viscosity rating, low volatility (burn-off) and wax free nature of AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 5W-40 European Formula Motor Oil make it excellent for hot and cold temperatures. Engine wear is reduced, oil thickening is controlled and vehicles start easier in cold temperatures.
