Better Performance - Extends Equipment Life - Saves the Environment

Carbon Footprint
Messages on the importance of being “green” and erasing our carbon footprints are everywhere these days.
Consumers are becoming increasingly more conscious about how the purchasing decisions they make impact the environment.
On the other hand, worries over rising costs of everyday purchases (fuel, groceries, etc.) have consumers scrambling to find
a product they can feel good about that won’t break the bank. Enter AMSOIL.
Since
the introduction of the world’s first synthetic motor oil, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have been setting new standards
for motor oil quality. 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 outperformed conventional
petroleum motor oils on all counts.
Environment
AMSOIL
INC. has been dedicated to helping reduce negative impacts on the environment. AMSOIL was the first to recommend 25,000-mile/one-year
drain intervals. By safely extending drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants dramatically cut the amount of oil
consumed and emissions produced. This is not a new fad that AMSOIL is jumping on board with; it is the way AMSOIL has
always operated.
Better Protection
In addition
to the extended drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are specially designed to protect engine components, extending
the life of the engine and reducing the need for replacing engine parts. They are also thermally stable with a strong
resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off), preventing sludge deposits and keeping engines clean. Low volatility
and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants has also been proven to increase fuel economy. This reduces dependency on foreign oil and overall fuel consumption.
The resulting improvement in fuel efficiency and reduction of emission levels contribute to the conservations of natural resources
and protection of the atmosphere.
Environmentally Conscious Company
AMSOIL INC. doesn’t just leave the responsibilities of environmental protection to the products; the company
itself is diligent in making efforts to keeping the earth clean. AMSOIL recycles virtually 100 percent of the corrugated
trays and packaging boxes that come into its facilities, equaling several tons of recycled cardboard each month. All
used steel drums and all “clean” plastic bottles are also recycled.
AMSOIL INC. is determined to continue
to set the bar high for the lubrication industry across the board, including with regards to environmental responsibilities.
Our long-standing quality products lead the way to a greener, healthier planet for all.
AMSOIL Extended Drain Intervals - 25,000 Miles or 1 Year Oil and Filter Life
Extended drain intervals mean fewer oil changes, long term savings and convenience. Even if you
drive only 12,000 miles per year, the cost for AMSOIL motor oil is less than you pay for petroleum oil now! And you still
get better wear protection, lower engine temperatures, improved fuel efficiency and easier cold-weather starts. All of these
benefits add up to reduced operating costs and longer engine life.
Better
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is becoming more important with each passing year. Gas
and diesel prices keep rising, putting a major strain on businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy equipment in their daily
operations. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy
and creating less friction than when conventional lubricants are used.
Drivetrain Fluids
The use of AMSOIL synthetic motor
oil, gear lubes and transmission fluids can have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average
conservative decrease in fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers
report even larger gains in fuel economy.
Cold-Temperature
Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic
transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency
(fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is wax-free and delivers
extraordinary cold-flow per formance (<-60°F pour
point). It helps improve shifting response and energy efficiency while reducing warm-up
times.
OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent
wear damage resulting from insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is formulated with high film strength
(shear stability) and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal
surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid is a low-viscosity, fuel-efficient fluid,
it has demonstrated its ability to protect as well as or better than higher-viscosity fluids in the most severe industry tests.
The Pour Point Test determines the lowest temperature at which a lubricant will flow.
The lower a lubricant’s pour point, the better protection it provides in low temperature
service. Unlike conventional oils that solidify in cold temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
oils remain fluid down to -58° F. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil helps engines turn over easier
and flows quickly to engine parts for critical start-up protection. Engines start faster
and wear is greatly reduced for extended engine life.
Helps
Engines Start Easier
The Cold Crank Simulator Test determines
the apparent viscosity of lubricants at low temperatures and high shear rates. Viscosity
of lubricants under these conditions is directly related to engine cranking and startability.
The lower a lubricant’s cold crank viscosity, the easier an engine will turn
over in cold temperatures. The low cold crank viscosity of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils
reduce drag on moving engine parts and allows engines to achieve critical
cranking speed in extremely frigid temperatures. Engines turn over quickly and dependably
in the coldest winter temperatures due to Amsoils extreme weather pour points. Reduces damage to the starter and
battery and reduces need to plug in equipment.
Group IV -Chemical Reactions:
Group IV base oils are chemically engineered synthetic base stocks. Polyalphaolefins (PAO's) are a common
example of a synthetic base stock. Synthetics, when combined with additives, offer excellent performance over a wide range
of lubricating properties. They have very stable chemical compositions and highly uniform molecular chains. Group IV base
oils are becoming more common in synthetic and synthetic-blend products for automotive and industrial applications.
AMSOIL INC. being the leader in Synthetic Lubricants
formulation since the introduction of the World’s First API rated Synthetic Motor Oil by Amsoil in 1972. By exclusively
specializing in Synthetic Lubricants Technology AMSOIL creates the most advanced chemistries available on the market. Having
the “Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated” designation on AMSOIL packaging indicates that the lubricants are formulated
with Polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base stocks which are non petroleum.
This chemistry is the industry’s premier base stock technology with more than
35 years experience. Unlike conventional mineral-based chemistries, AMSOIL PAO base stocks contain fully saturated, hydrogenated
molecules and are free of wax and other impurities that can become a solid in cold temperatures. Combined with PAO base stocks
and precise formulation of premium additives, will outperform conventional oils in hot and cold temperature extremes, resists
oxidation and acid formation and provides long-term wear protection. AMSOIL “Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated”
oils have shattered the parameters of the most rigorous industry testing and set the standard for all other motor oils.
