• Summer heat is actually harder on your battery than winter cold.
• Summer heat kills batteries 33% faster than winter temperatures.
• More batteries fail in July than in January.
• Once the outside temperatures reach 90° F, the temperature under the hood of your car can be 140° F.

• Preventive maintenance goes a long way toward prolonging the life of your battery. Take a few minutes to read about your battery in your car’s manual and become familiar with what kind of battery it is, where it is, how to safely clean it and what the indicator lights inside your car might be trying to tell you.
• When working with your battery, always wear protective eyewear, remove all jewelry and wear long sleeves to protect your arms from an explosion of battery acid.
• Do a visual inspection to see if the battery case is bulging, cracked or leaking.
  If it is, it’s time to replace it.
• The summer heat can make the battery fluid evaporate faster and speed up corrosion. Clean up the connections by removing any corrosion, lead oxidation, paint or rust from the top of the battery with a scouring pad or brass brush. Be sure to brush the corrosion away from you.
• If your battery has removable filler caps, open the caps and check the water level in each cell.
• Make sure the plates are covered. This prevents sulfation and reduces the possibility of an internal battery explosion.
• If the water level is low, add distilled water (avoid tap water) until the plates are covered.
• Avoid overfilling, especially in hot weather, because the heat can cause the solution inside to expand and overflow.

KYB America LLC (“KYB”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that each new KYB product purchased from an authorized KYB dealer shall be free from defects for the period(s) of time listed below, when used on private passenger cars and light trucks for personal use under normal operating conditions.

WARRANTY PERIOD

KYB’s limited warranty is for the following periods for the following covered KYB products:

• WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

• This warranty covers defect in material and workmanship in the KYB product. KYB’s sole and exclusive obligation under this warranty is limited to the exchange/replacement of a defective KYB product in accordance with this limited warranty.

• CAN THIS WARRANTY BE TRANSFERRED?

• NO. This warranty is not assignable or otherwise transferable to any subsequent purchaser or user of the product and any sale or other transfer of the product shall void this warranty and KYB shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability with regards thereto.

• PROCEDURE FOR MAKING A WARRANTY CLAIM

When a purchaser has a warranty claim for an alleged defective KYB product, the product must be inspected to see if the product qualifies for a replacement under the terms of this warranty.

To make a claim under this warranty, the purchaser must return the defective product to the original place of purchase or an authorized KYB dealer (in the event that the original seller no longer exists) for verification and exchange. A valid copy of the original dated retail proof of purchase receipt must accompany any warranty claim.

If the provisions of this warranty are met and the product is determined to be defective and qualifies for replacement, the product will be
replaced with a new unit of the same or superseded KYB part number. In the case of a unit being superseded, replacement must be stated in the application section of the current KYB catalog.

Warranty claims will not be honored for products that:

• are worn, but are not defective. (An example is where only one unit is defective and the consumer requests a pair be replaced. Since the KYB warranty only covers the defective unit, the claim for the worn but not defective unit will not be honored.)
• do not qualify due to the expiration of the warranty time duration specified above for each product
• installed on non-cataloged applications
• purchased from an un-authorized KYB distributor
• are improperly installed, modified or abused; and/or
• are installed on vehicles for commercial or racing purposes

Signature Series 100% Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil (AZO) The Top Tier of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil   AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining industry-premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emissions control systems. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered to outperform competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting performance and protection. AMSOIL, the leader in automotive 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 engine.

Extends Drain Intervals AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system are inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids over longer periods. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to deliver the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals. It reduces vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs. Maximizes Fuel Economy AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency. Reduces Engine Wear Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives to further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for improved engine life. Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil exhibits an extremely low volatility rate; it controls volatility-related oil consumption and emissions. Excels in Extreme Temperatures AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown better than conventional oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to help prevent sludge deposits and keep engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil contains no wax, staying fluid in the coldest winter temperatures for easier starting, improved oil flow and reduced bearing wear. APPLICATIONS AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is excellent for use in all types of gasoline-fueled vehicles. It is recommended for all domestic and foreign vehicles requiring any of the listed performance specifications: 0W-30 (AZO): API SN (Resource Conserving), SM…; ILSAC GF-5, GF-4…; ACEA A5/B5, A1/B1; Ford WSS-M2C946-A, WSS-M2C929-A; Chrysler MS-6395N; Suitable as a replacement for GM dexos1™ (supersedes LL-A-025, 6094M and 4718M) COMPATIBILITY AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with other conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s 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 synthetic motor oils. SERVICE LIFE AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline-fueled vehicles as follows: • Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • In all non-gasoline-fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval. *OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer (1) Engines operating under modified conditions (non-stock) are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer. (2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak or consume excessive amounts of oil, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak antifreeze and have properly working emissions control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils. (3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under severe service. (4) Turbo/supercharged engines, commercial or fleet vehicles, excessive idling, vehicles with more than 100,000 miles without prior continuous use of AMSOIL motor oil, daily short-trip driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving. AMSOIL Ea® Full-Flow Oil Filters are designed for extended change intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filters.
