Since 1972 (over 30 years ago) , AMSOIL Synthetics have proven to be the BEST. AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Super Duty Oil filters which have a 12,500 mile service life as well as specialized filtration systems for commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which can filter particles down to less than one micron (a standard full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns with any degree of efficiency) making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear. These filters have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet service.
1. Immediate start-up protection: Sixty percent of engine wear occurs at engine start studies show. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants 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. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants also lubricate vital engine components by quickly flowing through the engine immediately after start-up.
2. Higher engine RPMs and more power: Since AMSOIL synthetic oils reduce friction more effectively than convential petroleum oils, engine parts and bearings rotate easier. This saves energy and conserves fuel. When the engine doesn't have to work as hard to move its parts, it frees up more energy to move the vehicle. It's always interesting to hear a new AMSOIL users report that their shift points in manual transmission based cars is lower, or that they have to reduce the idle setting on their carbuerator because the idle went higher after swithing to AMSOIL (because of the reduced friction) and the additional power that is noticed.
3. Increased fuel efficiency: Since AMSOIL synthetic oils and lubricants create less friction, and cause more power, then they would also reduce fuel consumption, increasing a vehicle's fuel economy significantly. Operating with AMSOIL synthetic oil and lubricants, the engine doesn't have to work as hard to turn the wheels and move the vehicle, so it takes less fuel.
4. Lower operating temperatures: AMSOIL synthetic oils and lubricants can reduce excessive operating temperatures (as measured in the oil sump) by up to 20 degrees F compared to conventional oils. Friction generates heat and since AMSOIL oils and lubricants reduces friction, less heat is generated.
5. Easier starting in cold weather: Conventional (Petroleum) oils contain wax impurities that cause the oil to thicken at low temperatures, which slows the flow of oil through the engine at start-up and promotes premature wear. At extream temperatures they can thicken to the point where the engine won't even turn over and start. ASMOIL synthetic oils and lubricants are pure and contain no wax. AMSOIL synthetic oil will pour at 60 degrees below zero F. Engines start in cold weather as if it were nice outside. AMSOIL synthetic oils greatly reduce (if not eliminate) the need for block heaters (if you don't mind not having heat in the car immediately - but I'm partial to heat, and would keep it for me if not the car)
6. Lower maintenance costs: In 1972 whe Al Amatuzio formulated the first synthetic motor oil to mee API service requirements little did anyone know that it was the birth of an entire industry. It was Al Amatuzio who coined the phrase "Extended Drain Intervals". By using AMSOIL synthetic oils you can go 6 months (or 12,500 miles - whichever is lower) without changing an oil filter and 1 year (or 25,000 miles - whichever is lower) without changing oils, thus reducing maintenance costs on the coventional oil based 3 months or 3,000 miles change method.
7. Save money on fuel costs. Since AMSOIl synthetic oils and lubricants increase fuel efficiency, you get more miles per gallon, and require less gallons per year. See below for several examples.
These are just some of the immediate benefits from AMSOIL synthetic oils and lubricants. Over the long term your engine will last much longer, you'll have less time in the shop, and your vehicle will run like new longer (So you'll have to come up with another reason to buy a new car). No matter how you look at it, AMSOIL synthetic oil saves you time and money. And that is why AMSOIL offers the best value which is why AMSOIL synthetic oils, lubricants, and filters are the best choice used in fleets and industries across the country.
