Product Description
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oil (MCV) is a premium oil designed for those who demand the
absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCV
is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated
to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high
temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley Davidson®
V-Twin, wet clutch lubrication, extreme pressure regions of
gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage.
AMSOIL MCV is multi-functional
and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign
motorcycles. It 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 the best high temperature film strength (see High Temperature
Viscosity Protection graph below) of all oils tested and contains
a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless
of the operating conditions (see Wear Comparison graph on
reverse). AMSOIL MCV 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.

Provides Extreme Pressure Quality
Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL MCV, there is no need for
separate transmission or primary chaincase lubricants. It
is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical
activity. AMSOIL MCV performs like a gear lube without the
negative effects of extreme pressure additives. In the FZG
gear test, AMSOIL MCV achieved a perfect score with a “zero”
wear rating (see photos below).

Delivers 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 MCV contains special anti-rust agents. It passes
the ASTM D-1748 humidity cabinet rust test and clearly demonstrates
superior rust protection (see photos below).

Provides Excellent Wet Clutch
Performance
AMSOIL MCV contains no friction modifiers
and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement.
AMSOIL MCV controls heat and prevents slippage and glazing,
and its high TBN resists acids that can degrade clutch material,
helping improve clutch life.
Applications
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oil is recommended for air or liquid cooled 4-stroke engines.
It meets SAE 90, API GL-1 gear oil requirements and is recommended
for transmissions and primary chaincases. AMSOIL MCV is recommended
for Harley Davidson®,
Buell®, Victory®, Ducati®, Aprilia®, BMW®,
Triumph® and other motorcycles where 15W-50 or 20W-50
engine oils or SAE 90, GL-1 gear oils are used. Not recommended
for shaft drive hypoid gears or where an API GL-4 or GL-5
gear oil is required.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils;
however, mixing oils may shorten the oil 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 motorcycle oil.

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil vs. Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Syn3 20W-50
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
The introduction of Screamin' Eagle
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil by Harley-Davidson signaled
the Motor Companies acceptance of synthetic lubricants
as superior performing products for their motorcycles.
However, Harley-Davidson V-twin air cooled engines are
not so unique in their lubrication requirements that
they require a special Harley-only fluid. In fact, Four-Ball
Wear Test results indicate that AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil leaves a wear scar 40 percent smaller
than Screamin' Eagle Syn3 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil.
According to Harley-Davidson, one of
the unique benefits offered by Screamin' Eagle Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil is its versatility, recommending its
use in the engines, primary chaincases and transmissions
of most Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including Evolution
XL, Evolution 1340, Twin Cam 88 and 88B, Revolution
and Buell models. This feature, however, is not unique.
AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil may also be used
in the engines, primary chaincases and transmissions
of these applications, providing superior lubricating
protection in each component. |
