Why Did AMSOIL Make A 5W-30 Small Engine Oil?
This product joins 10W-30 and 10W-40 products in AMSOIL’s Small Engine Oil series.
Some small engine manufacturers (Honda comes to mind) suggest the use of a 5W-30 oil. Therefore, it makes sense for AMSOIL to have one in their line-up. With a cold-pour-point of -44°C (-47°F), this product is also the perfect oil for small engines that run in the winter.
Regardless of whether an engine is operated in extreme heat or cold, AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Small Engine Oil will surely be a popular product.
How Is Small Engine Oil Different From Car Engine Oil?
Modern cars and light-trucks are equipped with all sorts of emissions sensors and devices. Some motor oil ingredients such as zinc can cause issues with these components. Therefore, modern automotive motor oils require a fairly sophisticated formulation approach. As small engines do not have emissions sensors and catalytic converters, AMSOIL is able to load this motor oil with anti-wear additives like zinc and phosphorus.
There is also another benefit to using this small engine oil over regular car motor oil. AMSOIL added significant anti-rust and corrosion ingredients that would not be found in automotive motor oils. Small engines are frequently stored for long periods. They may also be left outside or operate in wet conditions. This ability to prevent internal rust is a benefit to almost any small engine.
