AMSOIL OE 0W-20 100% SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL

AMSOIL OE 0W-20 100% Synthetic Motor Oil delivers full-synthetic engine protection built around the longer drain intervals recommended by today's vehicle manufacturers. It is a direct, high-performance replacement for OEM-branded oils in cars, trucks, and SUVs that call for a 0W-20 viscosity, including popular models from Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda.

Modern gasoline engines are under more stress than their predecessors. Smaller displacements, direct injection, and turbocharging push temperatures higher, increase combustion pressures, and create conditions that can destroy pistons through low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). At the same time, OEMs are extending oil change intervals, asking the oil to hold up longer while doing more work. A conventional or low-quality synthetic oil may not keep pace with those demands.

47% MORE WEAR PROTECTION THAN THE GM DEXOS1 GEN 2 STANDARD REQUIRES
The Peugeot TU3M Wear Test (CEC L-38-A-94) is one of the key benchmarks a motor oil must pass to earn GM dexos1 Gen 2 approval. It subjects a four-cylinder engine to 100 hours of extreme, wear-inducing conditions and then measures camshaft wear. AMSOIL OE 0W-20 delivered 47% more wear protection than the maximum allowable limit in that test. Camshaft wear leads to poor valve timing, reduced efficiency, and expensive repairs. This level of protection matters in turbocharged GDI engines from GM, Ford, Hyundai, and others where thinner 0W-20 oil must still guard precision-machined components under high load.

100% PROTECTION AGAINST LOW-SPEED PRE-IGNITION
LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel-air mixture before the spark plug fires, and it can crack pistons and bend connecting rods in turbocharged direct-injection engines. GM designed a specific LSPI engine test as part of the dexos1 Gen 2 specification to evaluate a motor oil's ability to prevent these events. AMSOIL OE Synthetic Motor Oil recorded zero LSPI events across five consecutive tests. If you drive a turbocharged 0W-20 application like the Chevy Equinox 1.5T, Ford Escape 1.5L EcoBoost, Honda CR-V 1.5T, or Hyundai Tucson 1.6T, LSPI prevention should be a priority when choosing your motor oil.

FIGHTS SLUDGE AND DEPOSITS TO KEEP ENGINES CLEAN
OE 0W-20 is built on a 100% synthetic base oil with a uniform molecular structure that naturally resists chemical breakdown at high temperatures. Detergent and dispersant additives work together to suspend and remove harmful contaminants rather than letting them bake onto internal surfaces. This is particularly relevant in GDI engines, where increased fuel dilution and higher intake temperatures accelerate deposit formation. A cleaner engine runs more efficiently and lasts longer.

PROTECTS ACROSS THE FULL TEMPERATURE RANGE
Synthetic base oils and an advanced additive package allow OE 0W-20 to resist thermal breakdown and viscosity loss in hot-running engines while staying fluid in cold weather. It pours easily at sub-zero temperatures for faster cold starts and quicker oil circulation, reducing the dry-start wear that accounts for a significant portion of total engine wear over a vehicle's lifetime. With a pour point of -48°C (-54°F) and a CCS viscosity of 5,859 cP at -35°C, it flows when conventional and lesser synthetic oils cannot.

IMPROVES FUEL ECONOMY AND SUPPORTS LOW EMISSIONS
AMSOIL OE 0W-20 is API licensed and carries the "Resource Conserving" designation, meaning it has passed API fuel economy testing requirements. It is also formulated to be compatible with modern emissions-control hardware, promoting proper catalytic converter function and low exhaust emissions throughout the oil change interval.

Specifications and Compatibility
AMSOIL OE 0W-20 meets or exceeds the following specifications: API SP (Resource Conserving), SN PLUS, SM; GM dexos1 Gen 3 (supersedes dexos1 Gen 2 and 6094M); ACEA A1/B1; Chrysler MS-6395; Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, WSS-M2C947-A, WSS-M2C962-A1; ILSAC GF-6A, GF-5, GF-4. It is compatible with other synthetic and conventional motor oils. Mixing with other oils will, however, shorten the life expectancy and reduce performance benefits. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended.

Service Life
In gasoline-fueled vehicles, AMSOIL OE 0W-20 is recommended for the oil change intervals stated by the vehicle manufacturer or as indicated by the vehicle's oil life monitoring system. Change the oil filter at every oil change.
