AMSOIL European Car Formula 5w40 Synthetic Motor Oil

Exceeds Stringent European Performance Standards

European vehicle manufacturers generally have more stringent motor oil standards than American vehicle manufacturers, recommending specific high-quality lubricants capable of extended oil change intervals. Most motor oils offered in America do not meet these demanding specifications, and problems such as premature wear and engine sludge develop when motorists use conventional American motor oils to take advantage of the extended oil drain intervals recommended by the European manufacturers.

In the U.S., the American Petroleum Institute (API) adopts a one-size-fits-all standard for engine oils, but in Europe the Automotive Manufacturers Association (ACEA) sets multi-tier motor oil standards, taking into consideration the wide variety of engines on the market. Most European auto makers also create their own specific standards, using ACEA standards as a starting point.

European auto makers generally recommend 5w40 viscosity oils in their vehicles, ensuring maximum protection in all operating conditions. AMSOIL European Car Formula 5w40 Synthetic Motor Oil is specially formulated for the lubrication needs of European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. It is blended with advanced AMSOIL synthetic base stocks, premium additives and a broad 5w40 viscosity rating, allowing motorists to take advantage of the maximum extended oil drain intervals recommended by European auto makers. AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic Oil surpasses the most demanding European oil specifications and is recommended for European gasoline and diesel vehicles, including but not limited to, Saab, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Land Rover, Opel, Mini Cooper, BMW, Peugeot, Porsche and Daimler Chrysler.

Maximum Engine Protection

AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic 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 oil drain intervals set by European auto makers.

Prevents Engine Sludge

The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and detergency properties of AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic 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.

Reduce Exhaust Emissions

AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic 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).

Excels in High Temperatures

The broad 5w40 viscosity rating and low volatility (burn-off) of AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic Oil makes it an excellent high temperature oil. Engine wear is reduced and oil thickening is controlled.

Faster Cold-Weather Starts

The wax-free nature of AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic Oil makes it an excellent cold weather oil. It remains fluid at temperatures as frigid as -45°F (-43°C), permitting easier and faster cold weather starts and immediate start-up protection, greatly reducing engine wear and prolonging engine life.

Prevents Engine Rust and Corrosion

AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic Oil contains special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and aluminum bearing materials.

Extended Oil Change Interval

AMSOIL European 5w40 Synthetic Oil is recommended for the extended oil change intervals established by the vehicle manufacturer or extend based on oil analysis. Change oil filter at every oil change.
