PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil (ANG) was
developed to deliver unsurpassed performance in natural
gas engines calling for an SAE 40, low-ash (<.50%)
lubricant.
Performance
Without Compromise
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil’s low-ash
formulation minimizes combustion chamber deposit
formation, critical in continuous operation
applications. AMSOIL ANG also significantly reduces
valve recession, a common problem with other low-ash
oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is
thermally stable, allowing it to combat oxidation, oil
degradation and internal deposit formation.
Maintains
Viscosity
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a true straight-grade
SAE 40 oil, offering maximum protection against
viscosity loss while minimizing internal oil
consumption. Field studies have reported up to a 50
percent reduction in internal oil consumption when
compared to competitive oils. Due to its synthetic
formulation, AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil does not
thicken as readily and qualifies as a multi-grade SAE
20W-40 oil without the disadvantages that come with the
use of viscosity improvers. This allows the oil to be
used over a broader ambient temperature range and in
many cases eliminates the need for a conventional
multi-grade product.
Extended Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil may be used for extended
drain intervals when monitored by an oil analysis
program. Periodic oil analysis should be conducted at
the engine manufacturer’s recommended drain intervals.
Change the oil filter at the recommended engine
manufacturer’s drain intervals.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible
with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic
lubricants; however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine
Oil with a petroleum oil will reduce the drain interval
of the AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil. Engine oil
additives or after-market products are not recommended
for use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
