MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 10W-40 Motor Oil
is compatible with conventional petroleum oils; however,
mixing AMSOIL 10W-40 with a conventional oil will
shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 10W-40. Engine oil
additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL 10W-40.
SERVICE LIFE
In personal cars and light-duty trucks with non-turbo charged
gasoline engines, drain oil at 25,000 miles or
one-year intervals, whichever comes first.
In turbo charged gasoline engines, change oil at three
times the engine manufacturer’s recommended drain
interval or six months, whichever comes first.
In high performance and racing engines, change oil at
intervals specified by used oil analysis.
In light-duty and non-turbo charged diesel engines,
change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer’s
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil
analysis support those drain intervals or six months,
whichever comes first.
In heavy duty and turbo charged diesel engines, change
oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer’s recommended
drain intervals if the findings of used oil
analysis support those drain intervals or six months,
whichever comes first.
In marine craft and occasionally used gasoline engines,
change oil at three times the engine manufacturer’s
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever
comes first.
In fleet vehicles and industrial gasoline engines, change
oil at three times the engine manufacturer’s recommended
drain interval or six months, whichever comes first.
If the vehicle is equipped with an AMSOIL Oil Filter, the
filter should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month
intervals (whichever comes first) in gasoline engines.
Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine
manufacturer’s recommended filter change interval.
