Amsoil Product and Company Information

Another thing people like to talk about is the combustion engine. We will open up with the diesel engine. It was invented back in 1878 by Rudolf Diesel, hence the name Diesel engine. What set his engine apart from the standard gasoline motor was the fact you could compress the air even more before igniting the fuel air mixture. A diesel motor has a compression ratio of 20:1 while a gasoline engines have compression ratios from 10:1 to 13:1 for the higher performance vehicles. The fuel in a diesel engine is added right when the piston has achieved maximum compression. Due to the heat generated from the compression alone the fuel instantly ignites and pushes the valve down through the cylinder.

In a gasoline engine the air and fuel are added before the compression begins to start. Plus since the compression is not high enough to ignite the fuel air mixture on its own it is the responsibility of the spark plug for the ignition process.

As you can see from the previous examples that is why it is important to make sure if you have a diesel engine you use a diesel motor oil. A quality motor oil for a diesel engine must handle to high stress components.

1. With the higher compression ratios there is a lot of stress on the engine oil.
2. Diesel fuel is not as refined as gasoline so there is a lot of impurities the oil must contend with.

Diesel engines have come a long way and three American car companies have done a great job with this. The Chevy Duramax Diesel Engine, the Dodge Cummins Diesel Engine, and the Ford Powerstroke Diesel Engine. Amsoil's Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil is an excellent choice for all three of these diesel engines. Now remember you still only have to change your oil one annually despite the high stress conditions your oil may encounter. Just remember you must use them with Amsoil's EAO oil filters.

In a nutshell the 2 stroke (or cycle) engine works by drawing in new air at the bottom of the piston while it is being compressed before ignition. One stroke up and one stroke down. As it is pushed down the new air is then rerouted to the top of the cylinder so it can be instantly compressed again.

The four stroke engine works as follows:

The "3000 mile oil change" is nothing but a myth and a money generating plan which has been proven to allow increased component wear rates when compared to a premium quality synthetic oil like AMSOIL. When things wear, they eventually have to be serviced and/or replaced, and that means you then have to buy a new vehicle or other piece of equipment more often.

Synthetic oil is used in every commercial and military jet engine in the world, as well as in all spacecrafts. That's because synthetic oil outperforms petroleum oil at high temperature extremes, low temperature extremes, and everywhere in between. Today experts agree, synthetic oil excels in all applications!

We are here to completely turn the petroleum oil industry upside down and expose the myth of the "3000 mile oil change", one customer at a time. Consumers are very smart these days, demand the best for their expensive vehicles and have the tools and technology available to do their own research and seek out the facts. We are here to help you achieve that goal in any way possible. We are extremely proud in our products and our technical competency to help you get the answers you need...fast and accurately.

Over the years European auto manufacturers have gradually increased their recommended drain intervals. Today, many are double those currently recommended by the U.S. carmakers, even though many of the same motor oils are used in both.

More recently, U.S. manufacturers have also increased their drain recommendations. But despite the fact that manufacturers are extending new car drain intervals, the major oil companies are sticking to their 3,000 mile drain recommendations. According to Automotive Editor, David McFaull, in a feature article he authored in the December issue of Lubes ‘n Greases magazine, the waste created by these unrealistic recommendations put the oil companies in an ethical dilemma.

Due to its long-term threat, McFaull names nuclear waste as the top pollutant today. But he actually compares it to dumped, untreated, used motor oil, saying that even though it doesn’t have to be buried for thousands of years, dumping used motor oil comes at a very high environmental price. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, improperly disposed used oil is the largest single source fouling our nation’s waters. A single quart can foul thousands of gallons of water, and up to 200 million gallons are dumped annually.

McFaull states, "While the nuclear power industry would not support the production of excess uranium fuel, it is not inconceivable that the U.S. oil industry would support, encourage, and skillfully promote excess gasoline engine oil usage, despite the harmful effects of its waste product on the environment." He said that, in fact, considerable evidence supports this conclusion.

The McFaull article notes that AMSOIL INC is the only oil company making any attempt to promote the one single measure of quality that a consumer can understand. That is increased drain intervals. In fact the other oil companies have worked against increasing drain intervals in the U.S., which means more oil is being made, sold and ultimately disposed of than is necessary. Therein lies the ethical problem they are faced with. Is it right to produce more of a product than is needed, knowing that it will result in increased pollution?

McFaull asks, "Do lube industry managers have an ethical duty to develop and reveal information on their product that could reduce the pollution burden, even though it might reduce the size of their market?"

These are good questions. As the quality of motor oils and the engines they’re used in herein the U.S. have improved, the drain recommendations have not increased to match the oil’s capabilities. A.J. Amatuzio started AMSOIL INC. with the express purpose of making motor oils that were of such high quality, they could totally outperform the oils of the day. The first oil AMSOIL made extended drain intervals to 25,000 miles or one year. The technology was available over thirty years ago. The other oil companies were recommending 2,000 to 3,000 mile drains back then. They haven’t come that far in 30 years, have they?

Today, AMSOIL has 25,000 mile/1-year oil, 35,000 mile/1-year oil or no oil changes with by-pass filtration and oil analysis testing. The other oil companies do not have anything that even comes close to what AMSOIL offers.

McFaull states, "(The API’s) stance treats consumers like ignorant yokels – ignores the high technical skills of the oil industry, the advances in engine design and material, the vast improvement in engine oil quality over the past decade, the impact of untreated oil flowing into the environment and common sense."

You might ask why AMSOIL would be in favor of increasing the competition’s drain intervals. Are today’s petroleum motor oils really capable of longer drain intervals? If they are already used longer in Europe, how can it be denied?

There is not a single one that even comes close to providing the wear protection that AMSOIL does! Just look at the graphs on the back of AMSOIL's Series 2000 20W-50 Racing Oil or the Series 2000 0W-30 Severe Service Oil.

The 20W-50 Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic leaves a wear scar over 2 times that of the AMSOIL (0.440 mm for AMSOIL vs. 0.922 mm for Mobil 1)!

Same thing goes for Havoline Formula 3 (0.713), Valvoline Synthetic (0.741), Castrol Syntec (0.757), Quaker State (0.790, synthetic blend).

The Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic 0W-30 leaves a wear scar over 1.6 times that of the AMSOIL 0W-30 (0.373 for AMSOIL and 0.607 for Mobil 1)!

Same thing goes for Penzoil 5W-30 at 0.540, Castrol Syntec 5W-50 at 0.576, Mobil 1 5W-30 at 0.589 and Quaker State 4x4 10W-30 Synthetic Blend at 0.595.

Special Notice: We now have the independent lab test data for the new Mobil Supersyn. The Supersyn does not compare to AMSOIL's extended drain interval 25,000 mile/1-year or 35,000 mile/1-year oil (0W-30). The test data is as follows for AMSOIL 5W-30 vs. Mobil Supersyn 5W-30:

 

Mobil will not recommend or guarantee 25,000 mile/1-year drain intervals like AMSOIL 5W-30, 10W-30 or 10W-40 or 35,000 mile/1-year drain intervals like AMSOIL 0W-30 Severe Service Synthetic does and that is a fact. No-where on the Mobil bottle does it state 25,000 miles/1-year or 35,000 miles/1-year.

AMSOIL is proven to be the best! AMSOIL was, and still is, the "First in Synthetics". All other synthetic motor oils were Johnny-come-latelies. This is a fact that not a single other oil company will dispute.

In fact up until about 10-15 years ago many of these manufacturers never even had a synthetic (except Mobil1). They were too busy trying to debunk the benefits of synthetics to the average consumer! Now, technology, competition and consumer demand has forced every major oil manufacturer to have a synthetic, and they are now also claiming the same benefits that at one time they were trying to debunk, but yet not a single one even comes close to offering the protection and performance that AMSOIL does. In fact, the Castrol Syntec isn't even a 100% pure Group 4 synthetic. That's right...read on........

Recently, Mobil accused Castrol of reformulating its synthetic by substituting other basestocks in place of its synthetic polyaphaolefins (PAO's). Castrol Syntec is a hydrocracked oil. That's right, Castrol has replaced the PAO synthetic base stock with hydroisomerized petroleum base stock. Hydrocracking, as it's called, is the highest level of petroleum refining. Castrol isn't even a true synthetic yet Castrol ended up winning the battle when the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus ruled that Castrol could still market its oil as "synthetic" despite their new formulation. Basically, they expanded the definition of synthetics to include Group III hydroprocessed petroleum oil. This high profile case took place because synthetics are recognized as the market's best hope for growth. Synthetic oil sales have outpaced petroleum oil sales by a wide margin and the gap continues to widen every year. Consumers are getting smarter and demand the best for their vehicles! Read the full story on the Castrol debacle in our informative articles section. Additionally, just as soon as Castrol won this battle, several other major oil companies jumped in and came up with hydroprocessed motor oils of their own and labeled these products to be "100% synthetic", when they still are primarily Group III hydro processed petroleum oils!
