Stay-in-Grade Performance
Sophisticated European engines subject oil to severe operational conditions. Oils must demonstrate excellent high-temperature/high-shear (HT/HS) performance to maintain viscosity and provide adequate engine protection. AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to stay in grade despite rigorous operation throughout the extended drain intervals European automakers recommend. Formulated with a select additive package and shear-stable synthetic base oils, it meets strict ACEA and VW HT/HS requirements to provide outstanding wear protection throughout the entire drain interval.
Low-SAPS Formulation
Excessive sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) in motor oil can harm modern exhaust treatment devices. Diesel particulate filters (DPFs), for example, require low-SAPS motor oil to resist filter plugging. AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil’s lower-SAPS formulation promotes optimum emissions system performance and life, allowing reduced maintenance costs.
Maximum Fuel Economy
AMSOIL European Car Formula is engineered with a lighter 5W-30 viscosity and friction modifiers to reduce friction for increased energy through-put. It minimizes internal engine drag, providing an alternative for motorists currently using heavier-grade oils, but who desire maximum fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Turbocharger Protection
Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines commonly used in European vehicles require thermally stable oils that resist deposit formation and provide turbocharger cooling. Thermally stable oils help keep oil passages clean and promote fluid circulation so turbo bearings stay cool and lubricated.
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil provides protection and performance for TDI systems in all temperature extremes. Its low pour point protects turbochargers against oil starvation and ensures rapid oil pressure in sub-zero conditions, while its thermal stability withstands high-temperature/high-RPM breakdown to resist deposit formations that can starve TDI systems of lubrication.
AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-40 Mid-SAPS Synthetic Motor Oil is specially formulated for the lubrication needs of modern European gasoline and diesel cars and light trucks. Formulated with advanced AMSOIL synthetic base stocks, premium additives and a 5W-40 viscosity rating, AMSOIL European Car Formula 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil is highly versatile for multiple applications. Its Mid-SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur) formulation provides excellent protection for emissions systems.

Customer Comments:
Great performance in an aging Passat!
By plwyman 8/29/2016
from Davis, CA
My 2003 Passat V-6 station wagon idled rather roughly from the very beginning. The dealership said it was “all within specification” and offered no suggestion as to what might help smooth things out. I tried injection cleaner, octane booster, new plugs, all to no avail. I eventually tried using AMSOIL 5W-40 (the recommended formulation for my engine…) and was surprised at the smoothness of the idle as well as the added pep in acceleration. I’ve never looked back. Now, at 100K miles I swear by this formulation, change every 5000 miles, and burn less than a quart between changes. To be fair, changing to an oil impregnated air filter also gave my engine better air flow, which never hurts. I love everything about my Passat (it’s still in great shape…) so I’m indebted to AMSOIL for smoothing out that rough idle and helping to improve the overall performance.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Robust European Car Oil
By George 1/2/2017

I used this oil in a 2012 VW Passat and changed it after 6 months and 6,700 miles on it. I was very impressed with this oil, it looked like it could have gone a few thousand more miles. Great purchase.
Only oil I buy
By Rich 8/29/2016
from Goshen, KY
I change my oil every 7500 miles. I enjoy getting Amsoil delivered right to my garage door and getting my hands dirty every few months. Saves me 1/2 the cost on all my oil changes (and I like and trust my mechanic). The European Formula gives me the protection my higher milage (120k) BMW needs.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
