The AMSOIL motorcycle product line is growing again. AMSOIL 5W-40 Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil is the latest addition to a full line of products engineered for extremes.

Why it Matters

Metric motorcycles are designed to deliver maximum performance and responsiveness, with engines that often surpass 10,000 rpm. A crankshaft spinning that fast can cause oil to foam, reducing its ability to protect internal engine parts.

Plus, metric motorcycle oils typically serve dual purpose as clutch lubrication, which requires an oil that also promotes smooth and consistent shifting. And metric touring and adventure bikes are built for long, cross-country trips that benefit from extended drain intervals.

Protection and Performance

The advanced technology in AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil is specifically engineered to protect motorcycle engines, helping them run cleaner and cooler and shift smoother.

By maximizing your engine’s performance and responsiveness, you’ll enjoy thrilling delivery of power, torque, acceleration and cornering ability. And with drain intervals up to twice the bike manufacturer’s recommendations, you can also confidently wander far from home.

  • Maximum Performance – Your bike was built for pinpoint control of extreme horsepower and torque. AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil fights wear and power-robbing deposits to preserve the performance you paid for.
  • Consistent Shifting – Ever blamed missed shifts on your bike, but never considered it might be the oil? Smooth shifting is one more way AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil makes your motorcycle perform better.
  • Ride More – Nobody enjoys breakdowns, and motorcyclists get stuck with the weather, too. AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil keeps your engine running, no matter what mother nature throws at you, so you can ride longer and farther, worry free.

AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil gives you the peace-of-mind protection of an oil as precisely engineered as the bikes in which it is used. It meets and even exceeds exacting industry standards and the requirements of motorcycle manufacturers, and it is WARRANTY SECURE™ to keep your factory warranty intact.
