AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining industry-premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emissions control systems. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to outperform competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.

Fights Engine Wear
• 75 percent more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear¹ than required by the industry standard, extending the life of vital components like pistons and cams.
• Develops a strong fluid film that keeps metal surfaces separated.
• Robust anti-wear additives further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for maximum engine life.

Signature Series Protects Against LSPI
LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel/air mixture prior to spark-triggered ignition. It occurs in today's advanced engines and is much more destructive than typical pre-ignition.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like GM* have addressed the issue by designing tests to determine a motor oil's ability to prevent LSPI. The GM test allows up to five LSPI events to receive a passing score. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provided 100 percent protection against LSPI* - zero occurrences were recorded.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils achieved 100% protection against LSPI.^B

Signature Series Guards Turbos
Protects turbochargers 72% better than required^C by the GM dexos1* Gen 2 specification.

We challenged Signature Series to the GM Turbo Coking Test, which consists of 2000 cycles of extreme heat soaks. An oil must limit the temperature change within the turbocharger to 13 percent or less to pass the test. Signature Series limited the temperature increase to only 3.6 percent, protecting the turbocharger 72 percent better than required* by the GM dexos1® Gen 2 specification.

Signature Series Delivers Powerful Protection
AMSOIL delivers powerful protection. How good is it? An independent lab compared AMSOIL synthetic motor oil head-to-head against a leading competitor in a 100,000-mile test.^P AMSOIL provided far superior wear protection and kept bearings looking like new.

Keeps Pistons Cleaner
Even after doubling the length of the industry-standard test, AMSOIL delivered 40% cleaner pistons than required by the standard.^FF

Signature Series Helps Keep Engines Cleaner
• Fortified with a heavy treatment of detergent additives, delivering 28% more acid-neutralizing power than Mobil 1* and helping engines stay cleaner, longer.^LL
• 50% more detergents^D to help keep oil passages clean and promote oil circulation.
• Controls heat and minimizes performance-robbing deposits.
• Superior thermal durability that resists breakdown and keeps pistons clean.
• Provides 90% better protection against sludge.^DD

The oil pick-up tube screen is virtually free of sludge.

Signature Series Improves Startup Protection
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil does not contain paraffins (wax) and stays fluid in temperatures of -58°F and lower. Extreme cold causes other motor oils to thicken, starving vital moving parts of lubrication, accelerating wear and even preventing vehicles from starting.

AMSOIL provides better cold cranking viscosity, helping improve wear protection for engine components at startup.^PP

Signature Series Resists Viscosity Increase
Signature Series is barely challenged by the industry-standard testing, demonstrating only a 0.1% viscosity increase. Even when the test length is doubled, AMSOIL delivered twice the viscosity control required by the standard.^GG

SERVICE LIFE
Normal Service: Up to 25,000 miles (40,200 km), 700 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first, in personal vehicles not operat-ing under severe service.

Severe Service: Up to 15,000 miles (24,140 km), 700 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first. Severe service conditions include commercial or fleet vehicles; excessive idling; or frequenttowing, hauling, plowing or driving in dusty conditions.
• Modified engines (non-stock), racing vehicles and vehicles using alternative fuels (E85, CNG, propane, etc.) are excluded from extended drain interval recommendations.
• Change at the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended drain interval outside U.S. and Canada.
• AMSOIL Ea® Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended drain intervals. Do not exceed 12,000 miles (19,312 km) or one year with other brand filters unless longer intervals are recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Always change filter when changing oil.
• Check oil regularly to maintain proper fill levels.

AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters.

COMPATIBILITY

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is compatiblewith other conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing other oils with AMSOIL motor oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce its performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.

Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils.
