What Happens When Motorists Switch to AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil?
When AMSOIL, Inc. Developed the world's first API rated synthetic motor oil in 1972,
new paramaters for motor oil performance were established. AMSOIL motor oil outperformed
conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts. Today, virtually every motor oil manufacturer has
followed AMSOIL's lead and offers synthetic motor oils of their own.
What can motorists expect when they switch their vehicles to AMSOIL motor oil?
- Immediate start-up protection.
- Sixty percent of all engine wear happens during engine start up. AMSOIL
motor oils 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 and
providing immediate start-up protection. AMSOIL motor oils also lubricate
engine components by quickly flowing through the engine immediately after start-up.
- Higher engine rpms and more power.
- AMSOIL synthetic motor oil reduces friction more effectively than conventional
oils, so engine bearings rotate easier. This saves energy and conserves fuel.
When the engine doesn't have to work as hard to move its parts, that power can be used
to drive the vehicle. Many new AMSOIL users also report their shift points
actually decrease due to the added power their engines experience.
- Increased fuel efficiency
- Since AMSOIL synthetic motor oils create less friction, they also help reduce
fuel consumption, increasing a vehicle's fuel economy significantly. Operating with
AMSOIL, the engine doesn't have to work as hard to turn the wheels,
so it takes less fuel to run.
- Lower temperatures
- AMSOIL motor oils can reduce excessive operating temperatures of oil sumps
up to 20 degrees Farenheit compared to conventional motor oils. Friction
generates heat and since AMSOIL motor oils reduce friction, less heat
is generated. AMSOIL motor oils also carry heat away from the engine more
efficently than conventional oils to further enhance the cooling process.
- Easier starting in cold weather
- Conventional motor 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 wear. Conventional oils can thicken to the point
where the engine won't even turn over and start. AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils contain no wax impurities. AMSOIL motor oils help engines
start easier in low temperatures than conventional motor oils and flow more
quickly to engine parts for immediate start-up protection. Most users of
AMSOIL motor oils find that they no longer need to use a block heater.
