“Low-SAPS” (sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur) formula.

Applications

AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated to meet or exceed the following European gasoline or diesel performance specifications:

  • Volkswagen 504.00/507.00
  • Mercedes-Benz 229.5/229.51
  • BMW LL-04
  • Porsche C30
  • API SN/SM
  • GM dexos2
  • Chrysler MS-11106
  • ACEA C-3

AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil delivers world-class performance, wear protection and fuel economy in European gasoline or diesel engines. It meets the stringent “Low-SAPS” (sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) European motor oil requirements for emissions component compatibility.

Steady Viscosity Protection over Extended Service Intervals

European applications present a complex challenge for engine oil makers. Firstly, European car makers suggest oil drain intervals that are typically much longer than those suggested by North American car manufacturers. Secondly, Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines and the tight tolerances of European engines create a hostile operating environment for the motor oil. AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to withstand extreme heat and is resistant to shearing. AEL 5W-30 meets exacting ACEA and Volkswagen high-temperature/high-shear requirements for dependable wear prevention over long service intervals.

“Low-SAPS” Formula

The term “SAPS” refers to an engine oil’s Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur content. An engine oil’s “SAPS” additives can be harmful to certain emissions components and especially exhaust particulate filters on diesel models. Specifications like VW 507.00 require a Low-SAPS formula. AMSOIL AEL 5W-30’s Low-SAPS formula protects emissions components and sensors while maintaining highly effective wear protection.

Optimizes Fuel Economy

AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil’s low-friction synthetic formula delivers maximum fuel economy and smooth performance. Friction within the engine is minimized with this low-drag formulation.

Superior Turbocharger Defense

Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines can be very destructive to engine oil, so not just any oil is suitable. TDI engines need a motor oil that will withstand turbocharger heat while protecting and cooling turbo bearings. AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil maintains its viscosity grade after long intervals of TDI service.

An ideal European engine oil also needs to provide fast protection during winter start-up and AMSOIL European Formula 5W-30 excels in this area. With a cold pour point of -44°C (-47°F), you can rest assured that important engine components receive immediate oil protection upon start-up in frigid conditions.

Service Life

AMSOIL European Formula LS 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for oil change intervals as stated by the vehicle owner’s manual or as indicated by the oil life monitoring system. Change oil filter at every oil change.

Mixing AMSOIL with Other Brands

Compatible with all other brands of conventional and synthetic motor oils. While you can safely mix AMSOIL Synthetic Oil with other brands, this will reduce the drain interval and performance capabilities of AMSOIL oil.

The use of any aftermarket oil additives is definitely not recommended.
