AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil - Engine Wear

Many motorcyclists invest a great deal of time and energy into their machines and spare no expense when it comes to the protection and performance of their investments.

Don't forget to invest in your motor oil.

One of the most important functions of any motor oil is wear protection. Because motorcycle engines operate under more severe operating conditions than automobiles, the ability of a motorcycle oil to deliver adequate wear protection is especially important.

The ASTM D-4172 Four-Ball Wear Test is the standard test used to determine a lubricant's ability to minimize wear in metal-to-metal contact situations. Three metal balls are secured and placed in a triangular pattern within a bath of the test lubricant. With load, speed and temperature kept constant, a fourth ball sits atop the other balls and is rotated and forced into them for one hour. Following the test, the lower three balls are inspected for wear scars at the point of contact. The diameters of the wear scars are measured and the results are reported as an average of the three scars. The lower the average wear scar diameter, the better the wear protection properties of the oil.

For the Four-Ball Wear Test portion of the AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Study, the loads, speeds and temperatures were maintained at 40 kg, 1800 RPM and 150 degrees C respectively for each oil tested. Two separate tests were performed for SAE 40 and SAE 50 oils.

Both AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCF) and AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV) exhibited minimal wear scars of 0.40 mm, placing them at the top of their respective test groups. Competing motorcycle oils showed wear scars up to twice as large. The wear protection provided by AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils is second-to-none, allowing motorcycles to perform better, last longer and require less maintenance.

Although zinc has long been considered an excellent anti-wear additive, it is interesting to note that the oils with the highest levels of zinc, Maxima Maxum 4 in the SAE 40 group and Golden Spectro 4 in the SAE 50 group, did not test in the top of their groups. These results indicate that simply formulating an oil with a high zinc level is not sufficient in minimizing wear.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils

• Excellent for roller bearings and does not cause "skate" or "float" in V-Twin Engines
• Prevents foaming in high-RPM engines
• Eliminates the need for multiple lubricants
• Absolute shear stability maintains protective viscosity in high heat, high shear conditions
• Better performance and price than competitive motorcycle oils
• Recommended for twice the manufacturer's recommended drain interval for on-road motorcycles
• Provide exceptional protection against rust and corrosion during storage
• Robust anti-wear additive packages provide superior wear protection and longer equipment life

The AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Study compares the test results of 32 different motorcycle oils in the most critical areas of motorcycle oil performance, including wear protection, shear stability and rust protection, helping consumers make educated decisions regarding which oil to use in their motorcycles.

AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Filters

Only AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters feature full-synthetic nanofiber technology. It is the nanofibers that allow Ea Filters to provide greater efficiency than any other filter available. Ea Filters stop more particles, stop smaller particles and last longer than any other oil filter available for motorcycle applications.

AMSOIL Motorcycle Air Filters

AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters with nanofiber technology hold 15 times more dust than wet gauze type filters. Nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filters and 50 times more dust than than wet gauze type filters while allowing more efficient air flow compared to traditional filter medias.

FULL WARRANTY

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are formulated to surpass engine test specifications, offering protection far greater than competing motor oils for extended drain intervals. Most synthetic oil manufacturers make no claim to extended drain intervals, deferring to the maintenance schedule provided by the vehicle manufacturer. With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers consumers unprecedented protection and economics.

Another AMSOIL First

More than 20 years ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed, and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what AMSOIL had said all along.
