PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic SAE
60 Motorcycle Oil (MCS) is a premium oil
designed for those who demand the absolute best
lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL
Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive
research, and it is specially formulated to
excel in all areas unique to motorcycles,
including high engine RPM, wet-clutch
lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears
and rust common to short drives and
storage.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil
features superior heat resistance and wear
protection. It is shear-stable and helps
maintain proper oil pressure in elevated
temperatures. AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil stops viscosity breakdown
(loss), protects gears and chains, and meets
SAE 140, API GL-1 gear oil requirements. It is
multi-functional and fulfills the requirements
of both domestic and foreign motorcycles.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil outperforms other
conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in 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 motorcycle.
Reduces
Friction, Heat and Wear In high
heat conditions, engine protection is not
sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil. It has exceptional high-temperature film
strength and contains a heavy treatment of
anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless
of operating conditions. AMSOIL SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil 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.
Extreme-Pressure Protection for
Gears With AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for a separate
transmission lubricant. It is shear-stable and
will not thin out from mechanical activity.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil performs like a
gear lube without the negative effects of
extreme-pressure additives.
Superior Rust
Protection Motorcycles are prone
to rust from storage, humidity and short
drives. Rust can cause major damage such as
roller bearing failure, uncontrolled wear,
compression loss and blow-by. Good rust
protection, however, comes by design and is not
natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle
oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains
special anti-rust agents.
Excellent
Wet-Clutch Performance AMSOIL
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil contains no
friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting
and positive clutch engagement. It controls
heat and helps prevent slippage and glazing,
while its high TBN helps improve clutch life by
resisting the acids that can degrade clutch
material.
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is recommended
for early-model air-cooled V-Twin engines where
a 60-weight motor oil is specified. SAE 60
motor oils are commonly used in
Harley-Davidson® Knucklehead, Panhead,
Shovelhead and big-bore motorcycles. AMSOIL
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil meets API SG,
SL/CF; API GL-1; JASO MA/MA2 and
ISO-L-EMA2.
MIXING
AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60
Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional
and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor
oils with other oils, however, will shorten the
oil’s life expectancy and reduce its
performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where oils have been
mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are
not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils.
SERVICE
LIFE Recommended for use up to
twice the motorcycle’s manufacturer-recommended
change interval (miles/hours) or one year,
whichever comes first, in engines and
transmissions. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson
transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson
recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of
up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes
first. When using an engine filter other than
an AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filter, change the
filter at standard intervals.
For off-road use, change AMSOIL
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil at the motorcycle’s
manufacturer- recommended intervals.
Racing or modified engines are
excluded from extended drain interval
recommendations. Oil changes are at the owner’s
discretion.
