AMSOIL 0W-30 MS 100% SYNTHETIC EUROPEAN MOTOR OIL

AMSOIL 0W-30 MS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil delivers precision-grade protection for European gasoline, diesel, and hybrid engines that demand strict OEM-compliant lubrication. Built around a low-SAPS formulation that satisfies BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche specifications simultaneously, it covers a remarkably broad range of late-model European vehicles with a single viscosity grade.

European engines operate under conditions that punish lesser oils. Tighter tolerances, turbocharging, direct injection, and manufacturer-mandated extended drain intervals all place extreme thermal and mechanical stress on the lubricant. At the same time, modern diesel particulate filters and gasoline particulate filters require carefully controlled levels of sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur. Using an oil that doesn't balance protection with emissions system compatibility can lead to clogged filters, degraded catalytic converters, and expensive repairs.

BROAD OEM COVERAGE IN A SINGLE VISCOSITY
Finding a 0W-30 synthetic motor oil that meets BMW LL-01FE, Mercedes-Benz 229.31, 229.51, and 229.52, VW/Audi 504.00/507.00, Porsche C30, and ACEA C2/C3 in one bottle simplifies inventory for multi-vehicle households and independent European repair shops. This oil also carries API SP and SN PLUS ratings. Whether it goes into a BMW 3 Series with the B48 engine, a VW Passat TDI, a Mercedes C-Class diesel, a Porsche Cayenne V6, or an Audi Q5 2.0T, the specification coverage is confirmed by AMSOIL rather than guessed at from a generic spec chart.

PROTECTS TURBOCHARGERS FROM THERMAL BREAKDOWN AND COKING
Turbocharged European engines push oil temperatures well beyond what naturally aspirated designs produce, and turbo coking remains one of the most common failure modes when oil quality falls short. AMSOIL 0W-30 MS uses a thermally stable synthetic formulation that resists deposit formation in turbocharger bearing housings and center cartridges. With a pour point of -49°C (-56.2°F), it also reaches critical turbo bearings quickly during cold starts, reducing the oil starvation window that accelerates wear in subzero conditions. For owners of turbocharged BMW, Mercedes, or VW engines in northern climates, that cold-flow performance is directly relevant to long-term turbo survival.

EMISSIONS SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
ACEA C2 and C3 ratings confirm that this oil's sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur levels are calibrated for vehicles equipped with diesel particulate filters, gasoline particulate filters, and three-way catalytic converters. Oils with excessive SAPS content generate metallic ash that accumulates in DPFs, triggering frequent regeneration cycles and eventually causing permanent blockage. This formulation protects the engine without shortening the life of the emissions hardware downstream of it.

SHEAR STABILITY OVER EXTENDED DRAIN INTERVALS
European manufacturers routinely specify oil change intervals of 15,000 miles or more. An oil that shears out of grade halfway through that interval leaves the engine running on a thinner film than the engineers designed for. AMSOIL 0W-30 MS uses shear-stable synthetic base oils that maintain their viscosity profile across the full OEM-recommended service interval. At 100°C, this oil delivers a kinematic viscosity of 12.3 cSt and a high-temperature/high-shear viscosity of 3.5 cP, confirming robust film strength under the most demanding operating conditions. Its Noack volatility of 8.6% means less oil is lost to evaporation at sustained high temperatures, which directly reduces oil consumption between changes.

FIGHTS SLUDGE AND VARNISH DEPOSITS
Direct injection engines are particularly prone to sludge formation due to fuel dilution and blow-by contamination of the crankcase. This oil's oxidation stability and detergency properties actively prevent sludge and varnish buildup, keeping oil passages, piston rings, and valve train components clean over extended service intervals. A total base number of 8.4 provides strong acid-neutralizing capacity to counter the byproducts of combustion over thousands of miles of service.

SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL 0W-30 MS (product code EOT) meets or exceeds the following specifications: API SP, SN PLUS, SN; ACEA C2, C3; BMW LL-01FE; Mercedes-Benz 229.31, 229.51, 229.52; VW/Audi 504.00/507.00; Porsche C30.

This oil is compatible with other synthetic and conventional motor oils. Mixing with other oils will shorten the service life and reduce performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended.

SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for the extended drain intervals established by the vehicle manufacturer. Change the oil filter at the time of each oil change.
