Amsoil 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV)

Product Description and Technical Details

Amsoil SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV)

AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil (MCV) is a premium oil designed for those who want the best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL MCV is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley Davidson V-Twin, wet clutch lubrication, extreme pressure regions of gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage.

AMSOIL MCV is fulfills the requirements of US, Japanese and European motorcycles.

Amsoil MCV Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear. In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has very high temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of the operating conditions. AMSOIL MCV 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.

Amsoil MCV Provides Extreme Pressure Quality Protection for Gears and Chains. With AMSOIL MCV, there is no need for separate transmission or primary chaincase lubricants. It is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL MCV performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme pressure additives.

Amsoil MCV Delivers 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 MCV contains special anti-rust agents. It passes the ASTM D-1748 humidity cabinet rust test.

Amsoil MCV Provides Excellent Wet Clutch Performance. AMSOIL MCV contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. AMSOIL MCV controls heat and prevents slippage and glazing and resists acids that can degrade clutch material, helping improve clutch life.

What can Amsoil MCV be used for?

AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is recommended for air or liquid cooled 4-stroke engines. It meets SAE 90, API GL-1 gear oil requirements and is recommended for transmissions and primary chaincases.

AMSOIL MCV is recommended for Harley Davidson, Buell, KTM, Ducati, Aprilia, BMW, Triumph and other motorcycles where 15W-50 or 20W-50 engine oils or SAE 90, GL-1 gear oils are used.

Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.

Can AMSOIL MCV be mixed with other oils?

AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.

Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motorcycle oil.

How frequently should I change my oil when using Amsoil MCV?

Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases.

For Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Change the filter at standard intervals.

For off-road use, change AMSOIL MCV at motorcycle manufacturer intervals.

Racing or modified engines are excluded from extended drain interval recommendations. Oil changes are at the owner’s discretion.
