Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil provides exceptional performance and
protection for high-performance European vehicles made by Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche and
more. Its low-viscosity formulation maximizes fuel efficiency without compromising engine protection, while
meeting strict European performance requirements for gasoline and direct-injection diesel engines designed
for low-viscosity oils. Formulated with low sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS), Amsoil European Car
Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil complies with modern emissions systems to provide optimum life and
performance.
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.
Stay-in-Grade Performance
Sophisticated European engines subject oil to severe operational conditions. Oils must demonstrate
excellent high-temperature/high-shear (HT/HS) performance to maintain viscosity and provide adequate engine
protection. Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to stay in grade despite
rigorous operation throughout the extended drain intervals European automakers recommend. Formulated with a
select additive package and shear-stable synthetic base oils, it meets strict ACEA and VW HT/HS
requirements to provide outstanding wear protection throughout the entire drain interval.
Low-SAPS Formulation
Excessive sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) in motor oil can harm modern exhaust treatment
devices. Diesel particulate filters (DPFs), for example, require low-SAPS motor oil to resist filter
plugging. Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil’s low-SAPS formulation promotes optimum
emissions system performance and life, allowing reduced maintenance costs.
Maximum Fuel Economy
Amsoil European Car Formula is engineered with a lighter 5W-30 viscosity and friction modifiers to reduce
friction for increased energy through-put. It minimizes internal engine drag, providing an alternative for
motorists currently using heavier-grade oils, but who desire maximum fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Turbocharger Protection
Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines commonly used in European vehicles require thermally stable
oils that resist deposit formation and provide turbocharger cooling. Thermally stable oils help keep oil
passages clean and promote fluid circulation so turbo bearings stay cool and lubricated.
Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil provides protection and performance
for TDI systems in all temperature extremes. Its low pour point protects turbochargers against oil
starvation and ensures rapid oil pressure in sub-zero conditions, while its thermal stability withstands
high-temperature/high-RPM breakdown to resist deposit formations that can starve TDI systems of
lubrication.
APPLICATIONS
Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated to meet or exceed the most demanding
European specifications. It is recommended for European gasoline or diesel vehicles requiring any of the
following performance specifications:
• VW 504.00/507.00
• ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4
• Mercedes-Benz 229.51
• BMW LL-04
• Porsche C30
SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for the extended drain intervals established by the vehicle manufacturer. Change oil filter at
time of oil change.
COMPATIBILITY
Amsoil European Car Formula Synthetic 5W-30 Motor 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
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.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to
cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101. Keep Out of
Reach of Children. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.
