PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil
(AFL) is specially formulated for the lubrication needs of modern
European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated with
advanced AMSOIL synthetic base stocks, premium additives and a 5W-40
viscosity rating, AMSOIL AFL is the preferred oil for virtually all
European automobiles, especially turbo charged models. It is the only
oil in North America to be recommended for the latest specifications
of all three major European automakers - Volkswagen (Audi), BMW and
Mercedes-Benz and the latest North American API specifications. AMSOIL
AFL is highly versatile for multiple applications.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic
lubrication, produced the world's first API qualified synthetic motor
oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL "The First in
Synthetics®" to do the best job protecting your engine.
Maximum Engine Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula contains high
quality anti-wear additives and surpasses the tough ACEA oil
specifications for high temperature/high shear viscosity. It provides
outstanding protection in high RPM, hot running engines and delivers
dependable long-term performance for the extended drain intervals set
by European automakers.
Superior Engine Cleanliness
The excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and
detergency properties of AMSOIL Synthetic European Car Formula keep
engines clean. It is specially designed to prevent sludge and varnish
deposits for reduced oil consumption, extended engine life and maximum
overall performance.
Minimizes Exhaust Emissions
AMSOIL European Car Formula is designed for newer
vehicle emission control systems. It meets current industry and
vehicle manufacturer requirements for long life protection of gasoline
vehicle catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPF).
All Season Performance
The broad 5W-40 viscosity rating, low volatility
(burn-off) and wax free nature of AMSOIL Synthetic European Car
Formula make it excellent for hot and cold temperatures. Engine wear
is reduced, oil thickening is controlled and vehicles start easier in
cold temperatures.

surpass the most demanding European specifications. It is recommended
for European and North American gasoline or diesel vehicles requiring
any of the following worldwide specifications:

established by the vehicle manufacturer or extend based on oil
analysis. Change oil filter at time of oil change.
Mixing AMSOIL
AMSOIL AFL is compatible with conventional and
synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils,
however, will shorten the 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 motor oils.
