Amsoil – 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil

Description

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is a premium oil designed for those who demand the best protection for their motorcycles. It is the result of extensive research and is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including the high temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley-Davidson* V-twins, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage. AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Oil is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles.

Reduces Wear and Deposits

Big, powerful V-twin engines run extremely hot, especially in summer during stop-and-go rally or parade traffic. High heat breaks down oil formulated for standard service, inviting wear and performance-robbing deposits.

AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is formulated with naturally heat-resistant synthetic base oils that resist oxidation in extreme heat. It contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. After 1,000 miles (1,609km) of dyno testing during which oil temperature reached 300ºF (149ºC) and cylinder temperature reached 421ºF (216ºC). AMSOIL V-Twin Oil fought piston-ring deposits to prevent sticking and protected against piston scuffing for maximum compression and power.

Protects Transmissions and Primaries

AMSOIL V-Twin Oil delivers exceptional protection in transmissions and primary chaincases. It is shear stable and resists thinning from mechanical activity. AMSOIL 20W-50 V-Twin Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives. It resists viscosity breakdown 6X better than Harley-Davidson SYN3  for improved protection against compensator and transmission gear wear.

Delivers Superior Rust Protection

Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller-bearing failure, wear, compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however, comes by design and is not natural to motor oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Oil contains special anti-rust agents. It passes the ASTM D1748 humidity cabinet rust test, demonstrating superior rust protection to help your engine achieve maximum performance and long life.

Provides Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps prevent slippage and glazing, while its high TBN helps improve clutch life by resisting the acids that can degrade clutch material.
