To demonstrate the performance of AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil, it was installed in a high-performance 890cc Yamaha MT-09* motorcycle. We punished the bike with conditions designed to generate extreme heat and engine stress, including 1,800 road miles (2,897 km) and 8,000 miles (12,875 km) of simulated heavy traffic on our dyno, where the oil temperature reached 200°F (93°C).
After testing, the engine and transmission were disassembled, and the oil was analyzed. Thanks to its 100% synthetic formulation and advanced additives, AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil maintained its protective viscosity despite the extreme heat and shearing forces. It also delivered excellent wear protection, keeping the pistons, cylinders and cams looking like new.
