AMSOIL 0W-16 100% SYNTHETIC HYBRID MOTOR OIL

AMSOIL 0W-16 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil delivers purpose-built protection for the unique demands of hybrid engines, addressing corrosion, fuel dilution, and cold-start wear that standard motor oils simply aren't designed to handle. It's a direct upgrade over OEM-branded oils for Toyota Prius, Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Lexus ES 300h, Honda Insight, Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, and other hybrid vehicles specifying 0W-16 viscosity.

Hybrid engines don't run like conventional engines. They cycle on and off constantly, sometimes sitting idle for extended stretches while the electric motor handles propulsion. That intermittent operation means lower engine temperatures, incomplete combustion, and condensation buildup inside the crankcase. A conventional motor oil isn't formulated to deal with those conditions. Over time, the result is corrosion on internal surfaces, fuel-contaminated oil, and sludge that compromises engine efficiency and longevity.

COMBATS CORROSION AND WATER CONTAMINATION
When a hybrid engine cycles off and coasts on electric power, internal temperatures drop. That temperature cycling creates condensation inside the engine, and because the engine rarely runs long enough or hot enough to burn it off, water accumulates in the oil. Water in the crankcase leads to rust on bearings, journals, and other precision surfaces. AMSOIL 0W-16 Hybrid Motor Oil is formulated with a boosted dose of corrosion inhibitors specifically targeting condensation-related damage. It also contains elevated dispersant levels to suspend and manage water contamination, preventing it from settling on metal surfaces where it causes the most harm.

PROTECTS AGAINST FUEL DILUTION
Frequent start/stop cycles mean cooler cylinders and incomplete combustion, which allows unburnt fuel to leak past the piston rings and into the crankcase. Fuel dilution thins the oil, reducing its film strength and its ability to protect against metal-to-metal contact. AMSOIL 0W-16 Hybrid Motor Oil is engineered with robust viscosity that resists the thinning effects of fuel contamination, maintaining its protective properties even as fuel accumulates in the sump over the course of a drain interval.

SUPERIOR COLD-TEMPERATURE VISCOSITY
Oil that sits in a dormant engine needs to flow immediately when the ICE kicks in, sometimes at high RPM under load as it assists the electric motor during acceleration. Independent, third-party testing in the ASTM D5293 Cold-Crank Simulator demonstrated that AMSOIL 0W-20 Hybrid Motor Oil delivers up to 16% better low-temperature viscosity than Mobil 1 0W-20 Hybrid Full Synthetic Motor Oil. The AMSOIL 0W-16 formulation recorded a cold-cranking viscosity of just 4,759 cP at -35°C, well below the SAE J300 maximum limit. That translates to faster oil flow to critical engine components during startup in Toyota Prius, Lexus hybrid, and Honda hybrid applications where the engine engages and disengages dozens of times per trip.

MAXIMIZES FUEL ECONOMY AND MAINTAINS LOW EMISSIONS
AMSOIL 0W-16 Hybrid Motor Oil is API SP licensed and carries the Resource Conserving designation, meaning it excels in standardized fuel economy testing. It also meets ILSAC GF-6B requirements. The formulation is compatible with modern emissions control systems, helping catalytic converters operate properly for the life of the vehicle. For hybrid owners who chose their vehicle partly for its fuel efficiency, an oil that actively supports those goals rather than working against them is the logical choice.

SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL 0W-16 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil meets or exceeds the following specifications: API SP (Resource Conserving), API SN Plus, API SM and earlier, and ILSAC GF-6B. It is compatible with conventional and other synthetic motor oils, though mixing will reduce performance benefits and extended drain interval capability. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended.

SERVICE LIFE
Normal service: up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in personal vehicles not operating under severe service conditions. For severe service, follow the drain interval prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer in the owner's manual.
