European Oil for European Vehicles

AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Car Formula surpasses the requirements of the most stringent European motor oil specifications.

Motor oil and motor oil specifications are quite different between the United States and Europe. Due to government corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) requirements, U.S. motor oil specifications place more importance on fuel economy. European specifications place more emphasis on engine protection due to the longer recommended oil drain intervals in Europe. Differences between American and European vehicle designs also affect the requirements placed on motor oils. European vehicles tend to be equipped with smaller engines with higher power densities, while American vehicles are larger an have larger displacement engines.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) has one current motor oil specification for gasoline engines and another for diesel engines, while the European ACEA system has multiple light duty oil specifications for gasoline and diesel engines. Individual automotive manufacturers select one of the specifications and usually add their own stringent requirements. When an oil is approved by a specific manufacturer, it is simply added to the manufacturer's approved list.

Due to the high motor oil quality standards, both motor oil prices and recommended drain intervals are substantially higher in Europe than in the U.S. Typical oil drain intervals are between 10,000 and 18,000 plus miles and and oil change can cost hundreds of dollars. Since each manufacturer has its own specific motor oil requirements, most consumers bring their vehicles to the dealer for oil changes.

Using conventional American motor oils in European vehicles will usually not fulfill that vehicle's requirements. Therefore, offering motor oils that fulfill European OEM specifications gives retail outlets and quick lubes a distinct advantage over their competition, allowing them to reach a new segment of customers and increase sales.

AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Car Formula

AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Car Formula (AFL) is specially formulated for the lubrication needs of most modern European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated with advanced synthetic base stocks, premium additives and a 5W-40 viscosity rating, Synthetic European Car Formula is the preferred oil for nearly all European automobiles. It is one of the only oils in North America to be recommended for the latest of all three major European automakers - Volkswagen (Audi), BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, as well as the latest North American API specification.

AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Car Formula is formulated to surpass the most demanding European specifications. It is recommended for European and North American gasoline or diesel vehicles requiring any of the following worldwide specifications: (click here for current specs).

THE NOACK Volatility Test
The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatization better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption and emissions.
