Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is engineered to protect critical components in high-heat conditions. It exceeds the standard for high-temperature film strength to deliver excellent wear protection (see graph) and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL 20W-40 is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation-inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and is engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.

Provides Anti-Wear Protection for Gears and Chains
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is shear stable and resists thinning from mechanical activity. It performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives, such as poor wet-clutch performance.

Delivers Superior Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage, such as uncontrolled 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 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil contains special anti-rust agents, providing outstanding protection against rust and corrosion.

Catalytic-Converter Compatible
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil meets the requirements for emission-system protection and is designed for use in motorcycles with catalytic converters.

Provides Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil delivers the confidence of quiet, 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.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is recommended for air- or liquid-cooled Indian, Victory and other four-stroke motorcycles calling for a 20W-40 motor oil. It meets API SM, JASO MA and API GL-1 specifications, providing outstanding protection for engines and transmissions.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin 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 V-Twin Motorcycle Oil.

SERVICE LIFE
For on-road use in engines and transmissions, AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil and AMSOIL Ea® Motorcycle Oil Filters are capable of providing premium protection for up to 2X the motorcycle manufacturer-recommended change interval or one year, whichever comes first. Change other brand oil filters at standard intervals.

For off-road use in engines and transmissions, change AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil at the standard motorcycle manufacturer-recommended change interval.

For racing or in engines modified from the original factory design, no change interval recommendation is made; oil changes are at the owner’s discretion.

WARRANTY SECURE™
AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is Warranty Secure, keeping your factory warranty intact. AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is a high-performance replacement for vehicle manufacturer-branded products and is also backed by the AMSOIL Limited Warranty.

The Value of Consistent Clutch Feel – Dirt Bike Oils

It’s well-known that racing is one of the ways AMSOIL motor oils are tested, proven and fine-tuned to become the exceptional products we stand behind. We don’t invest in racers simply to put the AMSOIL brand in front of fans; AMSOIL racers become technical partners.

The development of new AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil, introduced last month, offers a perfect example. AMSOIL-sponsored supercross and motocross racers identified consistent clutch feel as a key performance attribute on the track. At the time, there was no dirtbike- specific oil on the market that provided the level of clutch consistency professional and amateur riders need. Consistent clutch feel is critical to riders during race starts to keep the bike from lurching forward prior to the gate dropping. Trail riders, meanwhile, need consistent clutch feel to confidently navigate obstacles without having to shift gears and lose momentum.

Better Clutch Feel

Dirt Bike oils for clutch!

Armed with that information, AMSOIL engineers went to work. Clutch feel is inherently subjective, which creates challenges in designing a lubricant that delivers this benefit. To overcome that challenge, AMSOIL designed an extreme simulated-start test for dirt bikes. The test allows AMSOIL engineers to apply accelerated stress to a dirt bike’s clutch in order to monitor clutch feel produced by a candidate lubricant.

AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil was also subjected to extensive ontrack testing in the bikes of GEICO/ AMSOIL/Honda Factory Connection and other professional riders. This combination of rider feedback and lab testing resulted in the final formulation of AMSOIL Synthetic Dirt Bike Oil.
