Classic Car Flat Tappet Oil

Your Classic Car or High Performance muscle car needs the right oil so you don't damage the camshaft and lifters. Metal to metal contact without ZDDP, Zinc Phosphate, will ruin your engine. Amsoil offers two formulations that will help protect your investment.

AMSOIL 10W-40 High Performance Synthetic Motor Oil
SAE 20W-50 Synthetic High Performance Synthetic Motor Oil

AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oils are specially formulated to provide
superior protection and performance in a wide variety of
demanding applications. By incorporating high-quality
synthetic base stocks and a superior high-zinc additive
package, AMSOIL Premium Protection Oils exceed the
needs of large and small gasoline or diesel engines in
cars, motorcycles, trucks, motor homes, maintenance
equipment, heavy equipment, street rods and marine
applications. They are ideal for high-mileage vehicles,
vehicles with flat-tappet cams and high-stress vehicles
subject to hot temperatures, heavy hauling, trailer pulling
or off-road use. AMSOIL Premium Protection Oils resist
oxidation, neutralize acids, inhibit corrosion, reduce wear
and protect against deposits. They provide the extra
anti-wear protection required by engines with flat-tappet
cams and high-tension valve springs. AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-40 and 20W-50 Premium Protection Motor Oils
offer flexibility and performance beyond conventional
oils for convenience and trouble-free operation.

AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Premium
Protection Motor Oils are high-viscosity oils engineered
to protect against metal-to-metal contact. They resist viscosity
shear and are formulated with a heavy treatment
of zinc and other anti-wear additives for excellent protection
of gears, bearings, cam lobes and other highpressure
components in engines and transmissions.
AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oils help
extend engine life.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Premium Protection
Motor Oils are multi-use, premium synthetic lubricants for
applications that require or benefit from a higher-viscosity
oil. They are recommended for air- and liquid-cooled, large
or small gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions and
chaincase applications where 10W-40 or 20W-50 oils are
required with any of the following specifications:
• API SL/CF, CI-4 Plus
• API SJ, SH, SG…
• ISO-L-EMA
• JASO MA (Motorcycle)

PRICE DROP MARCH 1st

Here is some great news for a change. Amsoil will be LOWERING their prices on March 1, 2009. When is the last time you saw someone do that.

February 16, 2009

Because raw material costs have not yet stabilized, it is possible AMSOIL will receive further price reductions that will allow it to implement another product price decrease, beyond the March 1 price decrease, in the coming months. This, of course, is subject to change.

In the meantime, price lists will be printed and available for purchase sometime after March 1, 2009. Price lists will not be automatically mailed out to Dealers or accounts. However, they will be included in Dealer and account kits as soon as they are available in stock. A message will be posted in the Dealer Zone when they are available.

Dealers and customers can access current pricing in the Product Pricing Interface located in the Dealer and Account Zones. March 1 pricing will be posted no later than March 1. Announcements will be made regarding any future price adjustments and price list printing.

Amsoil Motorcyle Oil Information

SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV) V-Twin air cooled

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils have been reformulated with new high performance additive technology that provides even greater multi-functional benefits for the special requirements of motorcycle applications. These independent and exclusive new AMSOIL formulations provide second-to-none viscosity protection for hot-running American and foreign motorcycle engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. Performance specifications include: API SG, SL/CF; JASO MA

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
(MCV) recommended for Harley-Davidson, Buell, Victory, Ducati, BMW, Aprilla and Triumph motorcycles calling for a 15W-50 or 20W-50 viscosity, providing superior protection in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases.

Improved Transmission Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils not only provide superior protection for motorcycle engines, they also provide superior gear protection, meeting API GL-1 gear lube viscosity requirements. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil (MCF) meets SAE 80W-90 gear lube requirements, while AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil (MCV) meets SAE 90 gear lube viscosity requirements.

Viscosity is the most important characteristic of a lubricant. Motorcycle gears create a shearing effect that causes permanent oil viscosity loss. This thinning effect reduces the oil's ability to prevent metal-to-metal contact and wear. The stability and natural operating temperature ranges of the premium synthetic base stocks used to formulate AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils eliminate shear and reduce wear. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils exhibit absolute shear stability as measured by the Kurt Orbon shear stability test.

The high temperatures and tight tolerances common to motorcycle applications also affect viscosity. The High Temperature/High Shear (HTHS) Test (ASTM D-4683) measures a lubricant's viscosity under severe high temperature and shear conditions. The more resistant an oil is to high temperature viscosity loss, the better it protects, and even a HTHS difference of 0.1 cP makes a significant difference.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils exhibit higher HTHS viscosities than competing conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils. As seen in the graphs, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 and 10W-40 Motorcycle Oils displayed the highest High Temperature/High Shear viscosities in their respective test groups, providing motorcycle engines and transmissions operating in the harshest conditions with superior protection against wear and viscosity loss and eliminating the need for separate gear case oils as recommended by some competitors. Synthetic 10W-40 may also be used in two-cycle transmissions.

Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has the best high temperature film strength (see High Temperature Viscosity Protection graph below) of all oils tested and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions (see Wear Comparison graph on reverse). AMSOIL MCV is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for air or liquid cooled 4-stroke engines. It meets SAE 90, API GL-1 gear oil requirements and is recommended for transmissions and primary chaincases. AMSOIL MCV is recommended for Harley Davidson®, Buell®, Victory®, Ducati®, Aprilia®, BMW®, Triumph® and other motorcycles where 15W-50 or 20W-50 engine oils or SAE 90, GL-1 gear oils are used. Not recommended for shaft drive hypoid gears or where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motorcycle oil.

SERVICE LIFE
For “on road” use in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases, change AMSOIL MCV and AMSOIL engine oil filter at twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval or one year, whichever comes first. Change other brand oil filters at standard intervals. For “off road” use in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases, change AMSOIL MCV at the standard motorcycle manufacturer change interval. For racing or in engines modified from the original factory design, no change interval recommendation is made. Oil changes are at the owner's discretion.
