5W-40 MS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil
General Information
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-40 MS (Mid-SAPS) Synthetic Motor Oil delivers outstanding performance and engine protection. Its low viscosity improves fuel economy without sacrificing engine durability. This formulation meets European standards for both gasoline and direct-injection diesel engines. It features a Mid-SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur) formulation that is compatible with modern emissions systems, helping extend their service life and maintaining optimal performance.
Meets European Vehicle Standards
AMSOIL European Car Formula is engineered to meet the strict requirements of European vehicle manufacturers. It uses durable synthetic base oils with excellent shear stability and high-quality additives to protect against wear and deliver excellent performance under high-temperature conditions. It is approved and performance-tested by European automakers to provide maximum protection throughout the entire oil change interval.
Protects Emission Systems
This balanced formulation addresses the needs of modern emissions systems, which are sensitive to high SAPS levels. AMSOIL’s Mid-SAPS European formula helps prevent clogging and extends the life of critical emissions components, reducing long-term maintenance costs associated with emission system repairs.
Superior Engine Cleanliness
AMSOIL European Formula offers excellent oxidation resistance, thermal stability, and includes powerful detergents that help keep engines clean. It effectively prevents sludge and deposit formation, enhances fuel efficiency, extends engine life, and ensures peak engine performance.
Ideal for Turbochargers
AMSOIL European Formula is specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by turbochargers. It resists thermal breakdown, fights deposit formation, and helps lower turbocharger operating temperatures. With a low pour point, it delivers strong cold-start protection, ensuring that engine and turbo components are well-protected even in sub-zero conditions.
