The viscosity stays constant over long service intervals. AMSOIL Metric 5W-40 is the smart way to protect your investment.
Optimizes Performance And Shifting
AMSOIL’s exceptional synthetic chemistry promotes smooth engine performance and improved gear shifting. AMSOIL Metric Synthetic 5W-40 isn’t just an engine oil. It is likely the most cost-effective upgrade you can add to your motorcycle.
Withstands Extreme Heat
AMSOIL 5W-40 Metric Synthetic Motorcycle Oil reduces friction and thereby reduces engine and transmission temperatures. Cooler operation extends the life of components and promotes consistent performance.
Improves Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Metric Motorcycle Oils are designed to provide steady clutch performance. The cooler operation and precise frictional properties optimize clutch life and offers consistent clutch feel.
Prevents Internal Rust And Corrosion
Motorcycles often sit in storage for long stretches. To prevent internal engine and transmission corrosion, AMSOIL has added powerful rust inhibitors. With AMSOIL, your ride has the best protection both in and out of season.
Mixing AMSOIL 5W-40 Metric Synthetic Motorcycle Oil With Other Brands
AMSOIL Metric Motorcycle Oil is compatible with all other brands of conventional, semi-synthetic and synthetic motorcycle oils. While you can safely mix AMSOIL with other brands, this will reduce the drain interval and performance capabilities of the AMSOIL product.
The use of any aftermarket oil additives is definitely NOT recommended.
Service Life Of AMSOIL 5W-40 Metric Synthetic Motorcycle Oil
AMSOIL Metric Motorcycle Oils are capable of a service life of up to twice the oil change interval suggested by your owner’s manual or one full year (whichever comes first). This applies to engines and transmissions when using AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Filters. When using other engine oil filter brands, change the oil filter at the manufacturer’s recommended service interval. AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Filters are designed to stay in service for the duration of the maximum drain interval of this product.
Off-road service: Change AMSOIL 5W-40 Metric Synthetic Motorcycle Oil at the motorcycle manufacturers’ suggested service interval.
Racing service or modified engines: Extended service intervals are not recommended.
