PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is chemically formulated
to deliver unsurpassed protection for natural gas engines. AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil has a low-ash formula with highly effective
rust and corrosion inhibitors. It circulates quickly to critical engine
components for fast, easy cold-weather engine start-ups and has a
very low volatility to remain stable in hot engine conditions. AMSOIL
Natural Gas Engine Oil will not break down like petroleum oils because
it resists the effects of high temperature oxidation much longer than
petroleum oils do.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
Natural gas engines are unique in that they must often
operate in locations where service is infrequent. Many natural gas
engines undergo long periods of inactivity. The rust and corrosion
inhibitors in AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil provide protection during
periods when the engine is not running or running intermittently.
Improves Spark Plug Reliability
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is an extremely low-ash oil,
which greatly reduces spark plug fouling and post plugging in two-cycle
natural gas engines and virtually eliminates ring belt deposits in
four-cycle natural gas engines. In some four-cycle applications, port
cleanings have been reduced four-fold.
Maintains Viscosity
Due to its synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil is a true SAE 40 oil, yet it passes SAE 20W viscosity specifications
for low temperature performance without the use of special additives.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal
Breakdown
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil resists the damaging effects
of heat, blowby chemicals and oxidation up to ten times longer than
do petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil neutralizes sludge
and acid formation to provide engines with long-lasting performance
and reliability.
Performs in Cold Weather
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil remains fluid in extremely
cold temperatures. It resists the low temperature congealing that
often occurs in petroleum oils. AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil ensures
instant start-ups, fast oil circulation and ideal protection under
frigid conditions.
Extended Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil affords exceptional extended
drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis program. Periodic
oil analysis should be conducted at the engine manufacturers
recommended drain intervals. Change the oil filter at the recommended
engine manufacturers drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic lubricants; however,
mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce
the drain interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil. Engine oil
additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
Note: AMSOIL
Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil should not be used in automotive
engines that have been modified to use propane or natural gas.
