New AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils Provide
Superior Transmission and Rust Protection
Superior, WI - (BusinessWire) - AMSOIL announces the introduction of two new premium Synthetic Motorcycle Oils. The oils have been re-formulated with new high performance additive technology that provides even greater multi-functional benefits for the special requirements of motorcycle applications. Available in both 10W-40 and 20W-50 viscosities, these exclusive new AMSOIL formulations provide unparalleled protection for American and metric motorcycle engines and transmissions.
Most motorcycle oils provide little or no rust and corrosion protection for the inside of an engine during storage. Contrary to popular belief motor oil is not a natural protection against rust and corrosion. This is a function of the additives. The new AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is specially formulated for both peak performance on the road and superior protection when sitting idle or in storage.
Benefits of the two new oils include:
· Improved Transmission Protection
· Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
· Excellent Corrosion Protection
· Outstanding Heat Resistance
· Robust Additive Levels
· Excellent Value for Cost Effective Performance
The new AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MVC) is recommended for Harley-Davidson, Buell, Victory, Ducati, BMW, Aprilia and Triumph motorcycles calling for a 15W-50 or 20W-50 viscosity.
The new AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MFC) is recommended for Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW, Husqvarna and KTM motorcycles calling for a 10W-40 or 20W-40 viscosity.
Available in quarts, cases, 30 gallon and 55 gallon drums
AMSOIL synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50
motorcycle
oils give motorcyclists what they need:superior wear protection
for high-stress motorcycle engines and transmissions and clutches
that stay clean and deposit-free.
Motorcycle manufacturers want the best protection possible
for their equipment,calling for rugged oils that exhibit high-temperature
deposit control additives. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
are specially formulated with the 

best synthetic basestocks
and high performance additives to provide tough lubricating
protection for all four-cycle motorcycle and ATV engines in
the most demanding operations.
AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils are formulated for both watercooled
engines and the unique demands presented by air-cooled V-twin
motorcycle engines, including Harley-Davidson. Conventional
petroleum oils break down and oxidize when faced with high
temperatures, such as those experienced when idling in traffic,
contributing to the formation of deposits,sludge and varnish.
AMSOIL withstands oil breakdown and oxidation in high temperatures,holds
contaminants in suspension and keeps engines running cool
and clean.
Zinc and phosphorus additives are extremely important to
engines faced with high-pressure conditions, especially motorcycle
engines, which typically have steep cam slopes, creating high
pressure between the parts. In motorcycles, friction modiers
(prevalent in automotive oils) have been attributed to engine
start failures, a rough running feel, increased fuel consumption
due to higher engine stall speeds and other problems. AMSOIL
Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Motorcycle Oils have beefier antiwear
and detergent/dispersant packages with no friction modiers,
keeping motorcycles running smoothly and efciently, while
allowing for extended drain intervals of up to three times
longer than manufacturers ’ recommendations.
Today’s scooters offer greatly improved handling and exceptional performance, while maintaining their affordability and excellent fuel efficiency. Their popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, and the scooter market is one of the fastest growing segments in the transportation industry. Today’s high-tech scooters demand high quality lubricants specifically formulated to address the special needs found in scooter applications: shear stability, thermal stability, transmission and gear box compatibility and wet-clutch compatibility.
New AMSOIL 10W-40 Formula 4-Stroke Synthetic Scooter Oil is recommended for air- and water-cooled four-stroke motorized scooter engines calling for a 10W-40 viscosity, as well as transmissions and gear boxes calling for a 10W-40 motor oil or an SAE 80W-90 or 90 GL-1 gear lubricant, including Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Vespa, Aprilia, Piaggio, Benelli, Vento, Kymco, Tank and TGB. It is recommended for the longest drain interval recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
