5W-40 FS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil
General Information
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-40 FS (Full-SAPS) Classic Synthetic Motor Oil delivers excellent performance and engine protection. Its low-viscosity formulation helps improve fuel economy without compromising protection. It is engineered to meet European standards for both gasoline and direct-injection diesel engines. This is a Full-SAPS formula (contains higher levels of sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur), designed to meet the demands of modern emission systems, helping to extend their life and maintain efficiency.
Meets European Vehicle Standards
AMSOIL European Car Formula is specially designed to meet the strict requirements of European automobile manufacturers. It uses high-shear-stable synthetic base oils and premium additives to resist wear and deliver outstanding engine protection, especially under high-temperature conditions. It provides maximum performance throughout the entire oil change interval, and has been tested and approved by major European automakers.
Exhaust Emission System Protection
The AMSOIL European Car Formula features a balanced SAPS formulation that considers the needs of today’s sensitive emissions control systems. Excessive levels of sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur can harm these systems. This oil prevents buildup and helps extend the life of emission components, such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters — leading to lower long-term maintenance costs.
Superior Engine Cleanliness
Thanks to excellent oxidation and thermal stability, this oil resists breakdown under heat and prevents sludge and deposit formation. The formula includes high-performance detergents that keep the engine clean, helping to maximize efficiency, reduce oil consumption, and extend engine life. It ensures peak engine performance in demanding driving conditions.
Ideal for Turbocharged Engines
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-40 FS is engineered with robust components to protect engines from the extreme heat generated by turbochargers. It withstands high thermal loads, prevents deposit formation, and helps lower turbo temperatures. With a low pour point, it ensures fast oil flow and superior cold-start protection, ensuring the engine and turbo are protected even in sub-zero temperatures.
