Are AMSOIL motor oils “all-season” oils?

Answer: Yes. Because AMSOIL motor oils are formulated with premium synthetic base oils, they have superior high and low-temperature performance. Synthetic oils resist thinning out at high temperatures to maintain critical protection in extreme heat. They also minimize sludge and deposit formation in high-temperature operation. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils resist thickening in cold temperatures to provide rapid cold starts and improved low-temperature operation compared to conventional oils.

Extreme cold can cause conventional motor oil, transmission fluid and gear lubes to thicken, starving moving parts of necessary lubrication. In many cases, thick motor oil prevents vehicles from starting. Cold, thick transmission fluid results in delayed or sluggish shifts and inadequate protection for bearings in the axle housing are splash-lubricated, conventional gear lubes that are too thick at cold temperatures can starve internal components of essential lubrication, which causes excessive wear and premature failure. Conventional petroleum lubricants thicken because they often contain paraffin's (wax). While modern refining techniques remove most of the wax from petroleum oil, some wax-like molecules remain. These wax-like molecules are soluble at ambient temperatures above freezing, but crystallize into honeycomb-like structure at lower temperatures and cause fluid circulation problems. At start-up, this can leave working parts unprotected while lubricants warm to a temperature that allows it to flow.

AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants do not contain paraffin's. They provide outstanding low-temperature fluidity for fast, dependable winter starts, quick responsive shifts and immediate start-up protection.

FEEL SECURE USING AMSOIL LUBRICANTS

The Warranty Secure symbol is designed to reassure consumers that simply using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants in place of original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-branded lubricants, or practicing extended drain intervals when using AMSOIL lubricants, does not void new vehicle or equipment manufacturer warranties. Simply put, if the lubricant did not cause the problem, the OEM warranty cannot be voided, period.

According to the Federal Trade Commission:

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void warranties or deny coverage under the warranty simply because an aftermarket or recycled part was used...The manufacturer or dealer must show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying the warranty claim.(http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt192.shtm) (emphasis added)

If your OEM warranty is denied without this proof, or an OEM, dealership or mechanic says using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants in place of the OEM-branded lubricant or extending oil change intervals will void the vehicle or equipment warranty, obtain a written statement to that effect and send it to AMSOIL INC., Technical Services (One AMSOIL Center, Superior, WI, 54880). AMSOIL will assist you in resolving the situation. For more information, contact AMSOIL Technical Services at tech@amsoil.com or (715) 399-TECH.

The Right Environmental Choice

INNOVATION, EFFICIENCY & SOLUTIONS
Our mechanized society cannot function without lubricants. The dilemma is oil is both necessary for our life-style and potentially destructive to nature. Quite simply, we must select innovative, efficient products that will help solve our pollution problems.
The introduction of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil in 1972 set all new standards for motor oil quality. AMSOIL lubricants are 100% synthetic. They are specially designed to protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer, reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution. From the beginning, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have out-performed conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils resist chemical breakdown and sludging which keeps engines cleaner. They have been specifically designed not to oxidize, volatilize or shear back, resulting in a motor oil that lasts longer than conventional petroleum motor oils. While petroleum motor oil manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils protect engine components up to 35,000 miles or 1 year, dramatically extending oil change intervals.
AMSOIL PRESCRIPTION FOR PREVENTION:
According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pollution Prevention Requirements, the first step in revitalizing a cleaner nation is pollutant source reduction.
AMSOIL accomplishes this by extending the interval between motor oil changes which can reduce the source of motor oil pollution more than eleven times.
Consider this: in 1993 an estimated 189.5 million motorized vehicles were on the road in the United States alone, and an estimated 700 million motorized vehicles were in operation throughout the world. If, by petroleum oil manufacturer’s recommendations, these vehicles have their oil changed every 3,000 miles on an average five-quart system, almost 1 billion quarts of used oil will be generated each month.
So are we drowning in oil? It is estimated at present that over 240 million gallons of oil are improperly discarded annually. Dumping 240 million gallons of oil is nearly the same as two Exxon Valdez spills each month.
How dangerous is used oil? Just one quart can produce a two acre oil slick. One gallon of oil can make one million gallons of water too foul to drink and 35 ppm of oil will kill fish. Improperly disposed used oil is dangerous.
Improperly dumped used oil seeps through landfills into ground water, disrupts bacterial digestion in sewer treatment plants and washes into lakes and harbors. At present, used motor oil is the largest single source of oil pollution in our nation’s waterways.
Certainly the first thing we can do is not create so much used oil to begin with, and we can recycle the used oil we have. Both synthetic and conventional motor oils can be recycled at any used oil recycling center.

Where Does All the Used Oil Go? 40% is dumped on the ground or down the sewer. 21% is thrown out with the trash, ending up in landfills. 6% is burned. 19% is reused for miscellaneous purposes. 14% is recycled.

PREVENT BILLIONS OF QUARTS FROM BEING DUMPED
Most automobile manufacturers recommend oil drain intervals of 3,000 to 6,000 miles for petroleum motor oils. AMSOIL recommends up to a 35,000-mile oil change which is 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes. Just think about the savings on the environment if, for example, the 135 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States were equipped with AMSOIL motor oil. Assuming an average service life of 100,000 miles and a sump capacity of 5 quarts per car, an oil change every 3,000 miles will generate 170 quarts of waste oil per year. That same car using AMSOIL and changing the oil every 25,000 miles will only generate 20 quarts of used oil per year. That is a difference of 150 quarts of used oil per car per year that can be saved. If we multiply the 150 quart savings out for all 135 million cars, the United States could see a reduction in waste oil of some 20.3 Billion quarts of oil. If you put 20.3 billion quarts of used oil into 55-gallon barrels and loaded them onto semi-trucks, a line of trucks would stretch end-to-end from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and back to Los Angeles.
AMSOIL SOLUTIONS
For nearly three decades, AMSOIL INC. has been recognized as the leader in synthetic lubrication technology. AMSOIL was the first to introduce a synthetic motor oil qualified by the American Petroleum Institute, the first to recommend 25,000-mile/1-year drain intervals, the first to recommend 35,000-mile/1-year drain interals, and the first to implement a system for dramatically increasing drain intervals with oil analysis. Decades of research, laboratory analysis and millions of engine miles have kept AMSOIL the leader in automotive applications for synthetic lubrication. Although the results have paid off in maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste, they are not conclusive. AMSOIL is the leader in synthetics and with continued research, analysis and product development will remain the industry’s leader.
LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
In 1983 AMSOIL created the TRI-GARD system. The life of a lubricant is dependent on the quality of oil and the filtration system’s ability to keep it clean. The AMSOIL TRI-GARD system incorporates AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil, the AMSOIL Foam Air Filter, the AMSOIL By-Pass Filter and oil analysis to dramatically extend the oil change interval. Less oil changed means less oil disposal and less oil pollution.
With regards to the environment, the AMSOIL TRI-GARD System is the most technologically sound, environmentally friendly motor oil program to reduce oil disposal.
ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL BENEFIT
REDUCES EMISSIONS, INCREASES ENGINE LIFE
Each year nearly 600 million gallons of motor oil are burned and exit through the tailpipes of cars and trucks,
creating emissions pollution. Petroleum oils volatilize (burn off) more readily than AMSOIL synthetic oils and
create more emissions pollution. The graph below shows the results of six oils that underwent the NOACK Volatility Test. Of all the oils tested, AMSOIL shows dramatically less weight loss . . . less than half the weight loss of its closest counterpart. Some oils tested lost almost 20 percent of their weight. That means almost one fifth of the oil boils away and is released into the environment. For most cars, that’s approximately a quart of oil being burned and expelled into nature. The thicker oil left behind after volatization contributes to damaging deposits, sticky piston rings and oil blow-by, all of which cause reduced engine life, reduced fuel economy and increased air pollution.
GREATER FUEL ECONOMY
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants has been proven to increase fuel economy by 2-5%. AMSOIL reduces friction and allows your engine to use its heat-energy more efficiently.
HOW MUCH IS 5%?
If a person averages more than 15,000 miles each year, and spends an average of $3.00 per gallon of gas, a 5% savings would be more than $90 per year (assuming an average of 25 mpg).

WHY SYNTHETICS?

Why Synthetics?

• Superior wear protection
• Excellent fuel economy
• Outstanding extreme-temperature performance

Conventional lubricants are refined from crude oil. Contaminating elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and metal components such as nickel or vanadium are inherent to crude oil and cannot be completely removed through the refining process. The oil refining process separates the various types of molecules in the oil by weight, leaving molecules similar in weight but dissimilar in structure.

Synthetic lubricants, on the other hand, are chemically engineered to form pure lubricants. Synthetic lubricants contain no contaminants or molecules that don't serve a designed purpose. They are made from molecules that are saturated with a higher percentage of carbon-hydrogen bonds, leaving fewer sites to which other, harmful molecules can attach and attack the molecular composition of the oil. In addition, their smooth, uniform lubricating molecules slip easily across one another. In short, synthetics' versatility and pure, uniform molecular structure impart properties that provide superior friction-reduction, optimum fuel efficiency, maximum film strength and extreme-temperature performance conventional lubricants just can't touch.

Why Now?

• Automakers are moving up to synthetics
• Helps vehicles last longer
• Saves time & money

Automakers are moving up to synthetics.

Modern engine technology is placing more burden on motor oils. Vehicle manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to provide fuel-efficient vehicles that produce fewer emissions than their predecessors. They employ a variety of techniques to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, and nearly all of them negatively impact motor oil. Engines are smaller, yet produce more power. They often rely on turbos or unique fuel injection systems that can increase the amount of contaminants introduced into the oil. Synthetic lubricants contend with these additional stresses better than conventional lubricants. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants deliver the robust film strength, extreme-temperature protection and maximum fuel efficiency automakers are looking for.

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants help vehicles last longer.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils help engines run at peak efficiency. Their pure, uniform molecular structure results in maximum friction reduction and outstanding wear protection. Lubricated components move more freely and remain closer to like-new condition, longer.

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants save time and money.

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants deliver outstanding protection and extended service life. Fewer oil changes to perform, less oil to buy and reduced overall maintenance costs.

Using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants can help the environment.

Consider the savings on the environment if, for example, the 243 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States were equipped with AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil. If each vehicle has an oil capacity of five quarts, accumulates 15,000 miles annually and has the oil drained every 5,000 miles, practicing extended drain intervals with AMSOIL Signature Series would reduce the amount of oil used in the U.S. annually by over 2.4 billion quarts.

In addition, each year millions of gallons of motor oil are burned and exit through the tailpipes of cars and trucks, creating emissions pollution. Petroleum oils volatilize (burn off) more readily than AMSOIL synthetic oils and create more emissions pollution. The thicker oil left behind after volatilization contributes to damaging deposits, sticky piston rings and oil blow-by, all of which cause reduced engine life, reduced fuel economy and increased air pollution.
