Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required. Harley-Davidson/AMSOIL Oil Chart

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

AMSOIL, the leader in synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your motorcycle.

Withstands Extreme Heat

To prove its extreme-heat performance, AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil was installed in a 2012 Harley-Davidson FXDB Dyna Street Bob motorcycle. After deactivating the electronic temperature controls to increase severity, the engine was subjected to extensive idle time broken by short bursts of engine revving to simulate the intense heat conditions of a rally or parade route. Despite little air flow and cylinder temperatures reaching more than 500°F, the oil maintained viscosity and delivered outstanding protection (see graph).

Reduces Wear and Deposits With Amsoil 20W-50

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions. It is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.

Provides Extreme-Pressure Quality Protection for Gears and Chains

With AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for separate transmission or primary chaincase lubricants. It is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives. In the FZG gear test, AMSOIL achieved a perfect score with a “zero” wear rating.

The 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil Delivers Superior Rust Protection

Not available from any other company! An AMSOIL exclusive.

Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller bearing failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however, comes by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic 20w-50 Motorcycle Oil contains special anti-rust agents. It passes the ASTM D1748 humidity cabinet rust test, demonstrating superior rust protection.

Amsoil 20W-50 V-Twin Oil Provides Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance

Yes you are hearing right! AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 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. So you don’t need a dedicated product for your primary chain case. Don’t listen to Bubba.

Amsoil 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil Resists Viscosity Breakdown

AMSOIL resists viscosity breakdown 6X better than Harley-Davidson SYN3 for improved protection against compensator and transmission gear wear.¹

Applications

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is recommended for air- or liquid-cooled four-stroke engines. It meets SAE 90, API GL-1 gear oil requirements and is recommended for transmissions and primary chaincases. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for Harley-Davidson®, Buell®, KTM®, Ducati®, Aprilia®, BMW®, Triumph® and other motorcycles where 15W-50 or 20W-50 engine oils or SAE 90, GL-1 gear oils are used. Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.

20W-50 Motorcycle Oil Compatibility

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is compatible with other conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce its performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils.

Motorcycle Oil Service Life

Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. When using an engine filter other than AMSOIL Ea®, change the filter at standard intervals.

For off-road use, change AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil at motorcycle manufacturer-recommended intervals. Racing or modified engines are excluded from extended drain interval recommendations. Oil changes are at the owner’s discretion.
