10W-30 100% Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil
Key Benefits
1. Reduces Friction, Heat, and Wear
AMSOIL 10W-30 Metric maintains outstanding protection even at high temperatures, thanks to its strong oil film and superior anti-wear additives. It effectively prevents sludge and carbon deposits that could damage the engine, resulting in a cleaner engine and optimized performance in all riding situations.
2. Maximum Gear Protection Under Load
No need for separate gear oil. AMSOIL 10W-30 Metric offers excellent gear protection, capable of withstanding extreme pressure. In FZG gear testing, it achieved a perfect score with zero wear.
3. Exceptional Rust Protection
Motorcycles are often vulnerable to rust due to humidity. Rust can lead to severe engine wear and loss of compression. Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL 10W-30 Metric includes top-tier rust inhibitors and has passed ASTM D-1748 corrosion testing (refer to technical data table).
4. Optimized for Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL 10W-30 MCT contains no friction modifiers and includes additives that ensure smooth gear shifting, strong clutch engagement, heat control, and prevention of slippage or spark. This contributes to extended clutch life. It meets the JASO T903:2006 MA/MA2 wet-clutch standard and ISO-L-LEMA2 under ISO 24254:2007.
Applications
AMSOIL 10W-30 MCT is ideal for 4-stroke motorcycles, air- or liquid-cooled, that require:
-
Engine oil viscosity: 10W-30 or 20W-30
-
Gear oil standards: SAE 80W/90, API GL-1
Recommended for use in motorcycles from:
-
Honda®, Kawasaki®, Yamaha®, Suzuki®, BMW®, Husqvarna®, Victory®
Note: Not recommended for applications requiring API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil.
Compatibility with Other Oils
AMSOIL 10W-30 Metric is compatible with both synthetic and conventional oils. However, mixing will reduce its overall performance and longevity. Therefore, AMSOIL does not guarantee extended drain intervals if mixed and does not recommend using any aftermarket oil additives.
Service Life
-
On-road use:
Up to 1 year or twice the OEM-recommended interval (10,000-12,000 km.), whichever comes first. -
Off-road use:
Follow the OEM-recommended oil change interval.
