 Benefits of using AMSOIL

 Benefits provided by Amsoil include: extended drain intervals meaning less oil changes, low emissions, better performance, better protection and savings.

Amsoil benefits and what they mean for you:

• Extended Service Life - Amsoil uses only the best additives available, to provide extended drain intervals in gas vehicles, 25 - 35,000 miles or 1 year. In diesel engines 2x manufacturers recommendations.

• Immediate start-up protection -  A large percentage of all engine wear occurs at startup, especially in cold weather and climates. AMSOIL synthetic oils use high polarity base stocks and special anti-wear agents that form a thin film that clings to engine parts, preventing metal to metal contact.

• Thermal/Oxidative Stability- keeps your engine clean, reducing costly maintenance repairs, adds life to your engine.

• Superior Friction Reduction - less stress on your engine providing superior gas mileage increase and additional horsepower. Reduced friction makes engine bearings rotate easier. This saves energy and conserves fuel. AMSOIL will save you enough per year in fuel savings to pay for all your vehicles lubrication needs.

• Low Volatility - allows best air flow which provides less oil evaporation, providing best fuel economy and engine wear protection.

• Broad Temperature Range - provides protection in hot or cold extremes, adding longer engine life. Friction generates heat and since AMSOIL synthetic oils reduce friction, less heat is generated. AMSOIL synthetic oils also carry heat away from the engine more efficiently than conventional oils to further enhance the cooling process.

• Extremely High TBN - increases oil life by reducing engine corrosion, which adds longevity to your engine and reduces maintenance costs.

AMSOIL has long used the ASTM D4172 Four-Ball wear Test and the DIN 51581 NOACK Volatility TEST as ways to demonstrate the superiority of AMSOIL motor oils over competing synthetic and petroleum motor oils.  In fact, AMSOIL was the first to utilize the NOACK Volatility Test  as a standard of performance excellence.  Both the Four-Ball Wear Test and the NOACK Volatility Test, when put into graph form, provide a visual demonstration of where AMSOIL motor oils stand when out head to head with the competition.

However, AMSOIL motor oils have these additional benefits which are not so easily measured and put into graph form.  AMSOIL spares no expense when it comes to additives, purchasing the best, most durable on the market.  These additives keep AMSOIL motor oils shear stable, provide long-term performance against varnish and sludge, keep critical engine components clean and deposit-free and resist the harmful effects of rust, corrosion and foaming.

TOP QUALITY VI IMPROVERS

AMSOIL uses the best shear stable viscosity index improvers available.  Critical to the extended drain capabilities of AMSOIL motor oil, top quality VI improvers ensure that the oil maintains its protective viscosity throughout extended drain intervals.  AMSOIL motor oils surpass North American AAMA, Japanese JASO and European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear viscosity, withstanding shearing forces which cause conventional oils to thin out and lose viscosity.  Oils with poor shear stability lose their viscosity relatively quickly, losing their ability to protect against metal-to-metal contact and wear, especially in high temperature conditions.

HIGH TBN

Combustion within the engine creates damaging, corrosive by-products.  when fuel, soot and water mix, sludge and varnish deposits form on critical engine components. clogging oil passages, restricting oil flow and causing vital engine components to stick and malfunction.  The motor oil's ability to neutralize acids and prevent the formation of sludge and varnish is critical to the life of an engine.  Another feature of AMSOIL motor oils is its high TBN, which neutralizes acids and prevents corrosion, rust and other harmful effects of sludge and varnish.  Rust inhibition is an especially important feature for engines subject to frequent short-trip operations and for stored engines.

DETERGENT/DISPERSANTS

Detergent/dispersants greatly reduce the formation of harmful sludge and varnish deposits.  By keeping combustion by-products dispersed within the crankcase until they are removed by the oil filter, detergent/dispersants prevent them from combining to form larger, more harmful particles.  AMSOIL uses top-of-the-line detergent/dispersant additives, keeping engines clean and deposit-free for extended drains.

CLEAN BURNING FORMULATION

In order to lubricate  the rings and cylinder walls in an engine, motor oil is exposed to the heat and flame of burning gasoline.  In the process, some of the oil also burns off.  AMSOIL motor oils are engineered to burn as cleanly as possible, keeping combustion chamber walls clean and deposit- free and preventing ring sticking and breakage, pinging, engine knock and other problems that reduce an engine's efficiency.

ANTI-FOAM ADDITIVES

During engine operation, air in the crankcase gets whipped into the motor oil, causing the oil to foam.  The air bubbles within this foamed oil do not always collapse, inhibiting heat transfer and impeding lubrication.  AMSOIL motor oils resist foaming, ensuring protection against the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with foamy oils.

By using only the highest quality basestocks and additives, AMSOIL motor oils are capable of extended drain intervals, al while maintaining performance, providing long-term wear protection and fuel economy, keeping engines clean and deposit free, providing cold weather starts and protecting against rust and corrosion.
