Volatility (Evaporation) (ASTM D-5800) SAE 50 Results
1. Higher temperatures produce greater volatility (evaporation).
2. Increased volatility causes increased oil consumption and emissions.
3. Oil is first heated to 250° C for a period of 60 minutes.
4. Air is drawn through the container holding the oil sample to remove vapor.
5. After 60 minutes, the remaining oil volume is weighed.
6. Comparison to initial oil weight.
7. A lower weight loss score indicates better performance.

Only two riders in motocross history have made up more ground to win a championship than Team GEICO Powersports/ AMSOIL/ Honda 250 rider Trey Canard. Canard had a slow start to the 2010 season, and found himself 56 points behind leader Christophe Pourcel with seven rounds remaining. That’s when he caught fire, taking five wins in the next six rounds and entering the final event in Pala, Calif. just seven points behind Pourcel.
With the championship up for grabs, both riders felt the pressure to finish strong in Pala. Although Canard fell while trying to pass Pourcel in the first moto, Pourcel took a spill of his own a few laps later, separating his shoulder and leaving him unable to finish the first moto or compete in the second moto. Canard recovered from his fall to finish fourth in the first moto and jump to an 11-point lead in the standings. A third place finish in the second moto sealed third place overall for the weekend and Canard’s second career professional motocross championship.
“After moto one I was kind of in shock. I had no idea what to think,” said Canard. “I knew the championship was extremely possible at that point, but drew myself back together and tried my best to just focus on moto two. It was really coming to me that I was going to get the opportunity to be the 2010 250 Motocross Champion; it was an unbelievable feeling.”
Canard will head to Lakewood, Colo. this weekend to compete for Team USA in the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations.
Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil (MCS)
API SG, SL/CF • JASO MA/MA2 • ISO-L-EMA2 • API GL-1
High-Performance Lubricant for Motorcycle Engines and Transmissions
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil (MCS) is a premium oil designed for those who
demand the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears and rust common to short drives and storage.
AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil features superior heat resistance and wear protection. It is shear-stable and helps maintain proper oil pressure in elevated temperatures. AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil stops viscosity breakdown (loss), protects gears and chains, and meets SAE 140, API GL-1 gear oil requirements. It is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.
AMSOIL, the leader in synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your motorcycle.
Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has exceptional high-temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.
Extreme-Pressure Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for a separate transmission lubricant
. It is shear-stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives.
Superior Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller bearing failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however,
comes by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains special anti-rust agents.
Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes 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.
GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda rider Trey Canard was named to AMA Team USA for the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short will join him in representing the USA at the September 25-26 race at Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, Colo.
Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is one of the highest profile motorsports events in the world and has run consecutively for more than 60 years. MXoN features teams competing by nationality to earn combined scores, which determine the overall winning team. Team USA has the strongest track record of any country at Motocross of Nations, with 20 wins to their credit.
“It’s such a huge honor to be selected for Motocross of Nations” said Canard, “I’m so thankful to be able to represent the USA with Ryan and Andrew – they’ve done some great racing this year and I’m looking forward to working with them and giving it my all!”
Canard will race the MX2 class for Team USA aboard his AMSOIL sponsored Honda CRF250R, while Dungey will race the MX1 class, and Short the MX3 open class.
Canard will go for his fifth overall win a row at the next round of the AMA Outdoor Nationals in Southwick, Mass. on August 28.
Until then, we’ll see you at the races.
