AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 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.
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and detergency properties of AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic Motor Oil help keep engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent sludge and varnish deposits for reduced oil consumption, extended engine life and maximum overall performance.
The mid-SAPS formulation of AMSOIL European Car Formula is designed to protect newer vehicle emissions control systems. It meets current industry and vehicle manu- facturer requirements for long-life protection of gasoline vehicle catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPF).
