would this product offer advantages for a pc application?

seems like if it can stand up to a motorcyle engine it can take anything...


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
is specially formulated for ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and other power sports applications. Its broad viscosity range and wax-free formulation make it excellent for use in both hot and cold temperature extremes. As an SAE 40 weight motor oil, AMSOIL AFF provides outstanding protection for hot operating engines, while its 0W rating and -60°F pour point ensure easy cranking, excellent cold weather starting and quick post-startup protection. Formula 4-Stroke® Power Sports is an extreme temperature lubricant that provides outstanding performance in high performance, recreational or work/utility engines.

Resists Heat and Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL engineered Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports Synthetic Motor Oil to withstand the high temperatures of recreational engines. It effectively resists oxidation and oil vaporization to prevent carbon/varnish formation, control oil consumption and minimize exhaust emissions. AMSOIL AFF controls oil thickening for good fuel economy, and it keeps engines clean for peak operating efficiency.

Excellent For Transmissions
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports Oil is wet clutch compatible and contains no friction modifiers, making it ideal for both two- and four-stroke ATV transmissions. The friction modifier-free formulation is designed to prevent clutch slippage, delivering maximum torque and power to the wheels – a critical feature for towing or high-horsepower engines. AMSOIL AFF meets the frictional requirements of JASO MA/MA2.

Superior Wear Protection
AMSOIL AFF is formulated with high levels of anti-wear additives that provide excellent protection for pistons, bearings and gears in transmission containing units, while its shear stable, SAE 40 viscosity delivers a thick lubricating film for an extra margin of protection in hard working engines.

Anti-Foam
Churning occurs in high RPM engines that can cause oil to foam, depleting its lubricating abilities and increasing heat and wear. AMSOIL AFF controls foam, promoting cooler engine operation and reduced wear.

Special Additives
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports Synthetic Motor Oil contains robust dispersant/detergent additives that effectively neutralize the high levels of acids and combustion by-products prone to small engines. And it is anti-rust fortified for superior rust prevention, which is especially important in seasonally or infrequently used power sports equipment.

Applications and Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for four-stroke engines and transmissions on two- or four-stroke powered applications. It is an all climate/all season oil that replaces 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40 oils for ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and other power sports equipment. Manufacturers include Polaris®, Honda®, Yamaha®, Ski-Doo®, Can-Am® (Bombardier®), Suzuki®, Kawasaki® and Arctic Cat®.

API SL/CF, SJ, SH, SG • JASO MA/MA2

Compatibility
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.

Service Life
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.

Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on the AMSOIL Website. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don’t pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.
 
This stuff is all I will use in my 2006 Kawasaki Brute Force ATV with the 650cc V-Twin. The oil has performed flawlessly for me, particularly in winter starts. This winter my unheated and uninsulated garage got down to to -10F many times and -20F a few times....no problems starting my machine. And i don't even have fuel injection on her.

Prior to using the Amsoil 0w-40, I was using the Mobil 10w-40. In cold weather the engine was considerably louder upon startup. When I found out that Amsoil had a 0-w ATV oil, I was excited and been using it ever since.

I got the Preferred Customer deal thru Amsoil and get the stuff for a much lower price than the site lists.

yes bu is it worth using for a passenger car.
what i am saying is it must be an absolutely top shelf additive packed formula to stand up to powersports.
would these benefits transfer to a daily driver for ultra long oci? say 15k?

Absolutely fine in automobiles. TooSlick ran it in his VW/Audi.

Amsoil AFF 0W-40
 
The only issue I could potentially see with this oil is that it is not friction modified. Other than that, it's a great oil.
 
I use the AFF in my '07 Polaris 700 Twin ATV - runs great!!

I think about using this stuff & others (MC & Marine) in my truck a lot. Love to experiment.

This would probably be better in a snowblower than PCMO...???
 
I have been using left over Amsoil ASL 5w-30 all winter in my snowblower. (A Tecumseh Sno-King 5.5HP) I really gave that thing a work out this winter with all the snow and probably overworked it in some three foot snow drifts, but the oil performed fine.
 
what does friction modified mean?

is this an additive for the energy conserving cert?
is the specialty add or feature for periods of non-use oxidation/ corrosion (whatever) a feature or just marketing.

With fuel prices i let my truck stand for 7 to 14 days at a time now, could get longer.
