synthetic motor oil with an API
(American Petroleum Institute)
Service Classification in 1972.
Since that time, AMSOIL has
varied and expanded its product
line.

special purpose additives. These
lubricants provide significant
improved overall performance
benefits than conventional
petroleum oils.
Can AMSOIL Motor Oils be used
in any engine?

be used in any mechanically
sound gasoline or diesel fueled
engine. Basically, that means
they are excellent for use in
any vehicles engine.
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils void
the warranty of a new vehicle?

lubricants meet the current API
Service requirements and, thus,
are perfectly suited for use in
any new vehicle without
affecting the validity of the
new vehicle warranty.

Why don't the auto
manufacturers install AMSOIL at
the factory?
In a nutshell, the auto
manufacturers' and your
"friendly" dealer actually want
your vehicle to wear out and have
a finite life within a specific
targeted period of time so you
have to buy a new one, or come
to the dealer for expensive
repairs. AMSOIL Motor Oils, ATF
and gear lubes have been proven
for over 25 years and hundreds
of millions of miles to
significantly extend the life of
a vehicles engine, transmission,
axles, gears and bearings. We
bet you find that hard to
believe? Read our complete

Secret and peruse the rest
of this website and you should
have no doubt in your mind that
this is true. The auto
manufacturers and dealerships
ARE NOT looking out for your
best interests!
Are AMSOIL Motor Oils
All-Season Motor Oils?
Synthetic oils are made to
protect and perform better than
petroleum oils at both high and
low temperature extremes. That's
why every jet engine in the
world is lubricated with
synthetic oil. AMSOIL Motor Oils
have extremely low pour points
and flow readily at extremely
low temperatures for easier
winter starting and reduced
engine wear. At high
temperatures, no conventional
motor oil can compare to the
overall protection AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oils provide.
That's extremely important for
today's turbocharged and small,
non-turbocharged engines!.
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils
increase gas mileage?
Tighter government regulations
and increases in engine
manufacturers' demands are
calling for more fuel efficient
lubricants. AMSOIL Motor Oils
reduce friction and drag better
than petroleum oils and other
synthetic oils, resulting in
significant fuel economy
increases. In a recent 1.2
million mile demonstration,
AMSOIL Lubricants showed a 4.5%
increase in gas mileage. Other
tests have shown increases as
much as 15% under certain
weather and driving conditions.
Yet, because every vehicle is
different, as are driving habits
and conditions, it is difficult
to accurately project an actual
increase.
Are AMSOIL Motor Oils
compatible with other motor
oils?
Yes, AMSOIL Motor Oils are
compatible with all other
synthetic or petroleum motor
oils.
Why are AMSOIL Motor Oils
capable of extended drain
intervals?
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are
highly resistant to the
destructive effects of heat, and
do not break down like petroleum
oils. This means that AMSOIL
Motor Oils can provide much
longer drain intervals than
conventional lubricants.
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils
decrease oil consumption?
Yes. When used in mechanically
sound engines, AMSOIL Motor Oils
can reduce oil consumption.
Under test conditions, a
reduction of as much as 42% was
demonstrated for prolonged
periods. However, this should
not be taken to mean that AMSOIL
Motor Oils are "cure-alls" for
engines that consume oil because
of mechanical problems.
Is there a recommended
procedure for changing to AMSOIL
Motor Oils?
There are no special
requirements, however in older
vehicles or those with high
mileage, it may be advisable to
use AMSOIL Engine Flush first.
This will ensure that the engine
is clean and free of any
accumulated contaminants which
might have an effect on the
service life of AMSOIL Motor
Oils. In all cases, it is good
judgment to install a new
AMSOIL Nanofiber Technology Oil
Filter (EAO) every time you
change oil.
Should Oil Additives or After
Market Products be added to
AMSOIL Motor Oils?
No, they are not necessary and
are extremely detrimental!
AMSOIL Motor Oils are properly
formulated under the strictest
Quality Control procedure to
provide superior lubrication
performance.
