AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil Benefits

Extended drain intervals are a major selling point for AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, saving customers time, labor and money.  The key to the ability of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils to provide extended drain intervals are top quality  synthetic base stocks and premium additive packages that ensure they maintain their protective viscosities, neutralize acids and prevent the formation of harmful sludge and varnish deposits.

  Still, however, even with vehicle manufacturers and a number of lubricant manufactures extending drain interval recommendations, some customers are stuck on 3,000 mile drains and have not yet embraced the concept of extended drain intervals.  In addition, to the benefits of extended drain intervals, the superior formulations of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide many other benefits:

Extended Equipment Life – AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are formulated with top-of-the-line synthetic base stocks that provide excellent viscosity film strength for superior wear protection, while robust additive packages further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions, extending equipment life and reducing major repairs.

Fuel Economy – AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have been shown to yield significant increases in fuel economy over conventional motor oils.  Petroleum based lubricants are composed  of irregular molecules of various sizes that create excess friction, in addition to the friction generated  between moving parts.  The vehicle’s engine must burn extra fuel  to overcome this friction, decreasing fuel mileage.  Conventional lubricants are also very susceptible to volatility, increasing viscosity and forcing the engine to consume more energy pumping oil at the expense of fuel economy.

Cold Temperature Protection – Conventional lubricants  often contain paraffins (wax) that cause the lubricants to thicken and lose ability to flow in cold temperatures.  Cold-thickened lubricants sometimes hinder the rotation of the vehicle’s crankshaft so much that it cannot rotate fast enough to start the engine.  In addition, cold-thickened  lubricants  may leave working parts unprotected for as long as five minutes, causing significant wear.

High Temperature Protection – High temperature operation causes many conventional oils to volatilize and lose mass, seriously compromising their protective qualities.  AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide superior protection and performance in high temperatures, resisting volatilization, keeping oil consumption and emissions extremely low and ensuring thoroughly lubricated and protected.

Corrosion Protection – Corrosion inhibition is an especially important feature for engines subject to frequent short-trip operations and stored engines.  AMSOIL synthetic motor oils contain anti-corrosion agents , preventing the formation of corrosion on critical engine components and extending equipment life.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils offer many significant benefits, including extended equipment life and fewer repairs, improved fuel economy, superior protection in hot and cold temperature extremes and protection against corrosion.  Even if a customer is not yet sold on the benefits of extended drain intervals, there are many more reasons to buy and use AMSOIL synthetic motor oils.
