How
long have AMSOIL lubricants been on the market?
AMSOIL
introduced the first synthetic motor oil with an API (American
Petroleum Institute) Service Classification in 1972. Since that
time, AMSOIL has varied and expanded its product line.
What
are AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils?
AMSOIL
Synthetic Lubricants are fuel efficient, extended life lubricants
manufactured from select synthetic base stocks and special purpose
additives. These lubricants provide improved overall performance
characteristics when compared to conventional petroleum oils.
What
are AMSOIL Synthetic Blend Motor Oils?
AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend Motor Oils are a blend of synthetic fluids and
petroleum oils. They are combined to form an all season motor oil
that demonstrates many of the performance features of synthetic
lubricants.
Can
AMSOIL Motor Oils be used in any engine?
Certainly,
AMSOIL Motor Oils may be used in any mechanically sound gasoline or
diesel fueled engine. Basically, that means they are excellent for
use in any vehicle’s engine.
Will
AMSOIL Motor Oils void the warranty of a new vehicle?
Absolutely
not! Manufacturers’ warranties are based upon the use of oils
meeting specific API Service Classifications, for example, SJ/CF.
(AMSOIL 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.)
Are
AMSOIL Motor Oils All-Season 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 significantly 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
using 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, 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 of 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 exact 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! AMSOIL Motor Oils are
properly formulated under the strictest Quality Control procedure to
provide superior lubrication performance.
