AMSOIL- "Our Company makes the Best Lubricants in the world, period, and challenges anyone or any company to prove us wrong!  That won't happen because our competitors know it's true."

A. J. Amatuzio, President and CEO. 

In this day and age of high performance extended drain interval synthetic lubricants, the 3000-5000 mile petroleum oil change is, in our opinion, a method to get consumers to change their oil more often and generate increased revenue. Petroleum oil has been proven to allow increased wear rates (based on comprehensive independent ISO certified ASTM laboratory test data) when compared to a premium quality synthetic oil like AMSOIL.  When things wear, they eventually have to be serviced and/or replaced, and that means you then have to buy a new vehicle or other piece of equipment more often.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil has been proven the best for 36 years and will dramatically improve your vehicles performance, fuel economy, and life!

Dave Mann first met Chip Minich, CINJO Racing Crew Chief and Roush Racing Engineer during his career as a Ford Engineer while performing vehicles tests at Roush Industries. After becoming friends with Chip, he offered to sponsor Chip and CINJO Racing with AMSOIL Products. Chip was also Roush's Chief Engineer working on Ford Special Vehicle Engineering's 670 Hp/691 Lb-Ft. torque Boss Mustang program which is lubricated with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil. 

AMSOIL is the Official Oil of Championship Off Road Racing (CORR). Scott
Douglas and his AMSOIL/Ford sponsored F-150 have 79 career victories and 11
championships; a record few in off-road racing history can touch. AMSOIL is also the Official Oil of Both the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally & Daytona Bike Week (See: Harley-Davidson Oil &  The Average Quality of OEM Oils)

AMSOIL: I wanted to let you know how happy I am with your AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. I own a 2006 Harley-Davidson Sportster with 5,000 miles on it. Since the bike was new I’ve only used Harley-Davidson oil in the engine and Sportster gear lube in the transmission and primary
chaincase.

After reading your “Study of Motorcycle Oils” I decided to
switch to AMSOIL. That was the best thing I’ve ever done for my Harley-
Davidson.

From day one I have had problems down-shifting, especially when
the bike was cold. It would hang up between gears and I couldn’t get it
free before the light at the signal turned green. Very dangerous.

Harley- Davidson told me it was not broken in yet and to stop “granny shifting.” After 5,000 miles it was still doing it. Now, after I started using AMSOIL in my engine and transmission, the problem has ceased completely from the minute I put it in. No matter how easy I down-shift I can’t make it hang up between gears.

Thank you so much for your incredible oil. I’ll never use any other brand again. Billy Guiles

Harley Rider: AMSOIL Fulfills Its Claims

Did you know that average petroleum motor oils have a much lower shear strength than synthetic motor oils? AMSOIL synthetic oil does not break down, shear or loose viscosity under heat and stress?  Petroleum motor oil breaks down under heat and stress and leaves carbon, varnish and sludge deposits in your engine and allows  engine components to wear at an increased rate when compared to synthetic oil. 

In a recent  Lubricants World Magazine interview the president of a major national quick lube chain (which is owned by a major petroleum oil company) states that if they can get customers to shorten their drain intervals by 100 miles it would mean an additional $20 million in revenue for the company per year and if they can get consumers to do one more oil change per year it would mean $294 million for the oil change alone and $441 million in revenue when they include ancillary products and services that go along with the oil change. In fact, the president of the quick lube chain openly admits that the bottom line is profits. The shorter the drain interval the more money the quick lube makes. It is our opinion that they would be more profitable by promoting and installing AMSOIL 25,000 mile/1-year or 35,000 mile/1-year extended drain interval synthetic oil. It appears that the short drain interval petroleum oils they promote are good at assuring that customers will be back for another oil change in a relatively short period of time.

Isn't it about time you learned the benefits of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil? Most vehicle and equipment manufacturers and other oil companies know about AMSOIL and the significant benefits of synthetic lubricants.  Most have tested and analyzed AMSOIL and many OEM automotive engineers that we work with use it in their own vehicles and equipment. Please review Synthetics: The Auto Industry's Best Kept Secret (after you've finished reading this informative page) and learn why synthetic oil is superior to petroleum oil.

In fact, we know of major NASCAR and other famous racing teams that use AMSOIL in their race cars yet the oil sponsors logo on the hood and quarter panels is not what is in the vehicle. They want you to believe it is, but it isn't. Fact is, every successful major race car in the world uses synthetics, and  most of them use AMSOIL synthetics.  We know exactly who these racing teams are but are not permitted to advertise who they are because they have such a large amount of money at stake with their sponsors wanting the public to believe they are using the brand of oil that is is advertised on the car.

The Performance Oil Technology AMSOIL sponsored Michigan-based Cinjo Racing Team competes in the American Race Truck Series (ARTS).  ARTS is based out of Phoenix, AZ but sanctions racing across the country.  The trucks are very similar to those in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.  John Neece, Technician at Roush Industries of the prestigious NASCAR fame and Cinjo crew member calls AMSOIL, "The recognized leader in synthetic engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, and rear axle lubricants for high performance applications." 

Indy car racing legend Bobby Unser attended an AMSOIL covention and stated that he has used AMSOIL motor oils in all his vehicles for many years, including all his race cars. In fact, he said all of today's high level racers use synthetic motor oils because the engines simply demand the higher quality of synthetics. 

Bobby got up on stage and told about how his race car differentials could not survive more than one race up Pikes Peak without needing to be rebuilt, until he started using AMSOIL. Then his differentials went all race season without needing to be rebuilt. This experience in Bobby's early years of racing began his long relationship with AMSOIL in all his race cars. Bobby went on to say that...

"AMSOIL is the Best Lubricant made, the Standard to which all others are judged,"  Bobby Unser   3-time Indy 500 Winner, 35 overall Indy Car wins, & 13-time Pikes Peak Hill Climb Winner.

Representatives of three major corporations which supply additives and raw materials to most oil companies were also at the convention and discussed current industry specifications and future trends. All three vendors know AMSOIL well. The three speakers indicated that AMSOIL only buys the best. No one makes better products than AMSOIL. Who would know that better than the company that sells the raw materials to AMSOIL as well as the other major oil companies?

AMSOIL Severe Gear gear lube outperforms every conventional, synthetic and performance gear lube on the market. Dale Earnhart Inc. has testedted this gear lube in the differentials of their race cars and it is the only gear lube they have tested with has solved their performance problems. AMSOIL reported that one of the mechanics on the race team remembered AMSOIL after they exhausted testing other gear lubes that all failed, they then tested the AMSOIL Severe Gear lube and it solved their problem.

Synthetic oil is used in every commercial and military jet engine in the world, as well as in all spacecrafts.  That's because synthetic oil outperforms petroleum oil at high temperature extremes, low temperature extremes, and everywhere in between. Today experts agree, synthetic oil excels in all applications!

We are here to document facts and data comparing AMSOIL to petroleum oil as well as any other competitors synthetic oil. Consumers are very smart these days, demand the best for their expensive vehicles and have the tools and technology available to do their own research and seek out the proven facts about synthetic oil. We are here to help you achieve that goal in any way possible. We are extremely proud in our products and our technical competency to help you get the answers you need...fast and accurately!

What about Aftermarket Oil Additives?

I have not seen an aftermarket additive company provide independent ASTM, SAE and ISO Certified Laboratory Test Data substantiating their claims. First of all, the chemistry of a particular motor oil is proprietary and it is not plausible that an aftermarket additive company can engineer one additive to enhance the performance of any motor oil without knowing the exact chemical composition of that particular motor oil. Different base stock motor oils and manufacturer additive package formulations each respond differently to aftermarket oil additives.  

Secondarily, a base oil formulation, which is inferior, cannot be converted into a top quality motor oil simply by pouring in an aftermarket oil additive.  What works in one motor oil may have totally different effects in another brand and/or type of motor oil.  

As an engineer with over 22 years experience in the auto industry I have not seen any documented test data from an OEM auto manufacturers R&D labs that can substantiate the use of aftermarket oil additives. For example:

In its owners manual, Ford Motor Co. recommends against the use of
aftermarket lubricant additives (ALAs) for engines, transmissions,
transaxles, etc. For example, the engine oil section in the 2003 Ranger
pickups manual states twice, for emphasis, on the same page, "Do not use
supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine treatments.
They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that is not covered by
Ford warranty."

"Don't add anything to your oil." -1998 Buick Regal owners manual

"Do not add any material (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil.
Engine oil is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives."- 2003 DaimlerChrysler owners manual.

"Using supplemental additives is generally unnecessary and can even be
harmful. One should never use an additive to fix a mechanical problem."-
Detroit Diesel bulletin several years ago

"ExxonMobil does not recommend (additive supplements and/or engine
treatments)."- Mobil 1 website

Speaking to Fleet Owner, experts in the fields of original equipment (OE)
additives, a key component of motor oil, engine lubrication and diesel
engines, all discourage the use of aftermarket oil supplements, to put it
mildly, but at the very least urge equipment managers to seek demonstrable
proof of any claims via independent testing.

We spend millions on developing our motor oils and we don't recommend
adding any supplemental additives to them,” Shell's Dan Arcy states flatly.
“Since we do not test our oil with any supplemental additives, we can't
speculate as to what adding them would do [to the oil]. On the other hand,
with 20 million mi. of testing behind us, I can tell you how our motor oil
will perform.”

Arcy says the problem with supplemental oil additives is two-fold: “At the
most basic level, adding anything to the oil will dilute what is already in
there — a carefully engineered additive package. And you can upset the
chemical balance built into the oil. What can happen is the viscosity of
the oil as well as the detergents, dispersants and antioxidants [in the
original additive package] can be negatively impacted.”

Betner (Heavy Duty Lubricant Manger at Citgo) feels there “should be some
harshness” expressed about the need for fleets to avoid oil additives.
“Chemicals are very tricky things,” he says. “Think of it this way: If you
go to the doctor and get a prescription and don't trust it and dump
something else in with it, who can say what the result will be? Besides,”
he adds, “if we thought there was something else that would work to save
fuel or lengthen engine life, we'd put it in the oil ourselves.”

Add nothing but oil is the mantra of David McKenna, powertrain marketing
manager for Mack Trucks Inc., who pulls no punches when it comes to
offering an engine supplier's perspective on aftermarket oil additives.

In that vein, it should be pointed out that while both Betner and Arcy
argue against supplemental additives, they also agree that switching to
lower-viscosity synthetic oil is a valid avenue to increasing fuel
efficiency via lubrication. Read the entire article in Fleet Owner.

It is our opinion as Automotive Engineers that aftermarket oil additives are unnecessary and could potentially be detrimental to the chemistry of a motor oil.  Without going into extensive detail here's a general summary of what you need to know about aftermarket oil additives:  There are basically two types of additives used, either Teflon based with PTFE or Chlorinated based with some type of carrier, usually a paraffin based carrier or other mineral oil. Some have extremely large amounts of moly, zinc or phosphorus, all extreme pressure agents which can potentially be detrimental to a motor oils proper function.

Teflon does absolutely nothing inside your engine. Teflon must be heated up to about 800 deg. F to get it to stick to anything for friction reducing purposes, just like the Teflon on a frying pan, yet in an engine suspended microscopic colloidal Teflon particles can potentially gradually attach to the oil pick-up screen and reduce oil flow to critical components as well as reducing the oil flow in other critical internal engine passages by attaching themselves to the passageway walls.  In addition, as the oil filter filters out some of the Teflon particles, the filter flow rate can potentially be reduced which in turn may eventually become restricted and default to the by-pass mode of operation, which means unfiltered will then flow through the engine. 

If you ever get bleach on your fingers you will notice how slippery it is. Add enough Chlorinated components to a mineral based carrier and mix it with some type of teflon, moly, zinc or phosphorus and you can reduce friction, except for one concern: chlorinated additives mixed with oil and subjected to heat forms hydrochloric acid.  Hydrochloric acid is detrimental to internal engine components. 

The bottom line is:  When using a properly formulated motor oil you do not need any aftermarket additives and additionally, the additives you may put in can potentially be incompatible with the additives the oil company carefully blended in. The major oil and OEM additive companies (that supply raw materials and chemicals to the oil companies) are some of the wealthiest and most powerful companies in the world, and they certainly can and do hire highly skilled chemists that know how to properly formulate a motor oil (this is not to say they make a premium quality motor oil; just that they know how to properly formulate one to perform the functions it was designed to do and meet the required specifications). 

Many aftermarket oil additive companies make claims that are not accompanied by Certified Test Data. I have yet to see an aftermarket additive company provide independent ASTM, SAE and ISO Certified Laboratory Test Data substantiating their claims.

What if they have a Test to Show How their Additive Works

At a recent trade show we were at an aftermarket oil additive company was there with a machine that demonstrated how their additive reduced friction.  It was a motor with rotating solid steel disc secured to the motor shaft and a torque meter with a flat piece of steel mounted on the torque arm.  They put every type of oil on the market, one by one, on the machine & pressed hard on the torque meter and at about 20-40 lb-ft torque the torque arm would stall the motor....that is until they cleaned it off and tried their (chlorinated) aftermarket oil additive on the bearing & ran the test. 

People were amazed as the meter peaked out at 140 lb-ft. torque and still didn't stall the motor.  We knew what was happening but many unsuspecting consumers were eating it up and standing in line to buy the additive.  The next day we showed up with some Head & Shoulders Shampoo disguised in an oil bottle & had the aftermarket oil additive people try it on their test machine.  The operator was amazed as the motor just barely stalled at 140 lb-ft.  The operator says that's pretty good stuff, what is it?  We said Head & Shoulders Shampoo. He was quite embarrassed to say the least.  Head & Shoulders has high levels of high potency ZINC in it that attaches itself to ferrous metals. Coke soft drink can do the same thing.  ZINC reduces friction and provides anti-wear protection and is present in most motor oils at a much reduced level.  Now,  would you put Head & Shoulders in your engine?  

Read Technical Service Bulletin: Inadequate Demonstration Using Hand-Held Tests and Aftermarket Oil Additives (62k PDF)

Additionally, the test machine was measuring Extreme Pressure. Motor oils do not have Extreme Pressure (EP) additives blended in like gear lubes do nor do they need extreme pressure additives. A gear lube would not stall the motor as easily because gear lubes have high levels of Extreme Pressure additives blended in.

We recommend that you research the different brands of premium quality synthetic motor oil on the market and select the product that proves to offer the best overall performance, protection and value.

A.J. Amatuzio started AMSOIL INC. with the express purpose of making motor oils that were of such high quality, they could totally outperform the oils of the day.  The first oil AMSOIL made extended drain intervals to 25,000 miles or one year. The technology was available over thirty years ago. The other oil companies were recommending 2,000 to 3,000 mile drains back then. They haven’t come that far in 30 years, have they? 

Today, AMSOIL has 25,000 mile/1-year oil, 35,000 mile/1-year oil or drastically reduced oil changes with by-pass filtration and oil analysis testing. The other oil companies do not have anything that even comes close to what AMSOIL offers. 

AMSOIL INC. has no fear of increased competition from other oil companies on any level, whether it be performance, protection or service life. 

AMSOIL is specially engineered to last longer in service and perform better than any product on the market. AMSOIL’s published tests and over thirty five years of satisfied customers prove it.

What about The Other Major Oil Brands Synthetics?

Based on ASTM test data, there are no other motor oils that that provide the wear protection that AMSOIL does.  Look at the ASTM test data performed by independent ASTM and ISO Certified labs and published by AMSOIL:

50 Weight Results for ASTM D-4172 Four-Ball Wear Test using 60 kg pressure at 150 deg C, 1800 RPM for 1 hour duration are as follows:

AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 Racing Oil leaves a 0.432 mm wear scar

Castrol Syntec 20W-50 leaves a 0.724 mm wear scar

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 15W-50 leaves a 0.825 mm wear scar

Royal Purple 20W-50 leaves a 0.852 mm wear scar.

Shell Formula 20W-50 leaves a 1.752 mm wear scar

Quaker State peak Performance 20W-50 leaves a wear scar of 1.928 mm 

Additionally none of the other oil companies recommend 25,000 mile/1-year drain intervals. For example, Mobil does not recommend or guarantee 25,000 mile/1-year drain intervals like AMSOIL 5W-30, 10W-30 or 10W-40 or 35,000 mile/1-year drain intervals like AMSOIL SSO 0W-30 Severe Service Synthetic does and that is a fact. No-where on the Mobil bottle does it state 25,000 miles/1-year or 35,000 miles/1-year.

Mobil 1 has run the tag line for their advertising stating "nothing outperforms Mobil 1".  Mobil makes a good oil, but I'm here to tell you that it does not outperform AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils. They can come out with all the catchy advertising buzz words to market their oils, but in the final analysis, buzz words don't add one thing to their product's performance.  The only reason AMSOIL has continued to grow and prosper competing with large corporations like Mobil is that AMSOIL products have consistently performed better.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance vs. AMSOIL

Independent ASTM Certified Laboratory Testing of the new Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-30 vs. AMSOIL 10W-30 (and nine other major brand name motor oils) has been completed. AMSOIL is the clear winner. See the complete test results.

Mobil 1 EP Evaporates 38% Faster Than AMSOIL, Mobil 1 EP Allows 18% More
Cold Start Friction and Mobil 1 EP Allows 22% MORE Wear

In addition, on the TFOUT test, the "Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test" (ASTM D-
4742), which provides a very good correlation to the drain interval
capability of an oil, AMSOIL passed the 500 minute cut-off mark with flying
colors and still going strong, while Mobil 1 Extended Performance fell
short at only 469 minutes. Once again, we say that Mobil 1 is a good
quality product, however it does not compare to AMSOIL and the test data
clearly shows this.

AMSOIL offers superior wear protection, easier cold starting, less high
temperature evaporation and longer guaranteed drain intervals of 25,000
miles/1-year (or 35,000 miles 1-year with the AMSOIL Severe Service 0W-30).
Plus at Preferred Customer pricing you can have AMSOIL shipped direct to
your door for about the same pricing as you'll pay for Mobil 1 Extended
Performance at the store.

AMSOIL also offers 25,000 mile/1-year Absolute Efficiency Ea Oil Filters to
compliment the AMSOIL 25,000 mile/1-year, or AMSOIL SSO 35,000 mile1-year line of synthetic motor oils. The graph below shows how Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 and other brands compare to AMSOIL SSO 0W-30.

AMSOIL is proven to be the best!  AMSOIL was, and still is, the "First in Synthetics". All other synthetic motor oils were Johnny-come-latelies. This is a fact that not a single other oil company will dispute.  In fact up until about 15 years ago many of these manufacturers never even had a synthetic (except Mobil1).  They were too busy trying to debunk the benefits of synthetics to the average consumer!  Now, technology, competition and consumer demand has forced every major oil manufacturer to have a synthetic, and they are now also claiming the same benefits that at one time they were trying to debunk, but yet no other synthetic comes close to offering the protection and performance that AMSOIL does.

AMSOIL + Tuners = High Profile Performance

AMSOIL is always on the lookout for sweet tuners, and owners of said tuners are always on the lookout for the best products. This is where our paths cross, and performance is taken to a new level for these impassioned tuner builders. Below are two hot rides currently in the national spotlight with feature coverage, and of course AMSOIL is under the hood.

The cover story for the July issue of DSport Magazine features a JDM Nissan Silvia S13, built by Mike Sullivan of Mishimoto Automotive. Originally meant to be a show car for SEMA, Mike decided to kick it up and use it to compete in drift and time-attack events as well. This led to a time constraint since it needed to be complete in time for SEMA, but through determination and sheer drive Mike pulled it all off. Enlisting the help of Kenny Strickler of Turbochargers.com, his crew stripped the car down to a bare shell and prepared it for the paint job. Meanwhile, work was being put into the cage, chassis and selection of aerodynamic packages and tires. An SR20DET engine was removed and upgraded for power increases, and hydraulic lifters were replaced to enable the use of higher-lift, solid-lifter camshafts. A few more tweaks later the completed project turned up at SEMA with Mishimoto’s trademark orange and black paint, ready for its close-up.

Next up is Tony Nguyen and his 93’ Mazda RX-7, featured in the July issue of Super Street. Nguyen is already a rising star in the tuner industry, and this latest feature is testament to his talent. The RX-7 is hailed as Mazda’s most legendary ride due to the design, engine format, lightweight chassis and all-around sports-car feel. Decked out in BASF Tungsten Pearl Silver Paint usually found on a Lexus, this Mazda is a head-turner. Running a 13B-REW motor, Nguyen has squeezed 345 horses out of a standard 276 horsepower engine by installing an A’PEXi AVC-R Turbo-boost controller, fuel pump and GReddy intercooler and pipes. Interior modifications include A’PEXi gauges that light up the seats, and a center console filled with switches and embedded gauges. Built exclusively for weekend street racing, the RX-7 is the manifestation of Nguyen's vision to leave a cloud of dust for everyone else to catch up to.

The five page spread in Super Street is resplendent with sponsor logos, but the shot above give you a glimpse of the start point. Tony sent us a very strong endorsement note to go with this story. Nice!

I have recently been running AMSOIL products on all my cars and I must say that this is the BEST product I have ever used hands down! I have used other competitors' products in my car, from synthetic oil to octane boosters and I must say there is no other product on the market that can compare to the quality of AMSOIL synthetic oils. I will continue to use AMSOIL products for the life of all my vehicles. Whether it is for normal day to day use or high performance race and drag applications AMSOIL is my #1 choice.

Thank you,
Tony Nguyen

CASTROL AND MOBIL BATTLE IT OUT:

Several years ago Mobil accused Castrol Syntec of reformulating its synthetic by substituting other basestocks in place of its synthetic polyaphaolefins (PAO's) using hydroprocessing oil. Castrol has replaced the PAO synthetic base stock with hydroisomerized petroleum base stock.  Hydrocracking, as it's called,  is the highest level of petroleum refining. Castrol Syntec is not a Group 4 synthetic (such as AMSOIL is) yet Castrol ended up winning the battle when the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus ruled that Castrol could still market its oil as "synthetic" despite their new formulation.  Basically, they expanded the definition of synthetics to include Group 3 hydroprocessed petroleum oil. This high profile case took place because synthetics are recognized as the market's best hope for growth. Synthetic oil sales have outpaced petroleum oil sales by a wide margin and the gap continues to widen every year. Consumers are getting smarter and demand the best for their vehicles. Read the full story on the Castrol issue in our informative articles section. Additionally, just as soon as Castrol won this battle, several other oil companies came up with hydroprocessed motor oils of their own and labeled these products to be "100% synthetic", when they still are Group 3 hydroprocessed petroleum oils and not full PAO Group 4 synthetics.

AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in synthetics.............

AMSOIL Proves Superior

"Dave Bigda, owner of Dynamic Auto of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, installs Carroll Superchargers that add about 150 HP to a stock Callaway Corvette engine. Dynamic Auto installs AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 10W-30, ATF and 80W-90 Gear Lube in all of the vehicles they put the Carroll Superchargers into.

The Carroll Supercharger typically turns a 285 HP Corvette engine that normally runs at 4200 RPM into a monster that runs at 3500 RPM and delivers 435 HP. The supercharger makes these high-performance cars 25-45 mph faster, and as Vette Magazine said, the added horsepower "makes other Corvette drivers out there wonder if their new Vettes are pulling a trailer!"

The Carroll Supercharger adds about 6.5 pounds of boost pressure to an engine which creates much greater temperatures and slightly higher rates of oil blow-by (oil blowing by the piston). This makes the choice of a high-quality engine oil a necessity.

Originally, Greg Carroll, the creator of the supercharger, specified Mobil 1 as the only lubricant to use in the engine. He wanted to stress the importance of using synthetic oil in this high-powered dynamo to such an extent that he installed a small metal decal on the top of the engine informing customers to use only Mobil 1.

He hadn't heard of AMSOIL yet. After Dave, sent a sample of AMSOIL to Mr. Carroll, that decal came off. According to Dave, Carroll felt that AMSOIL was superior to Mobil 1 in protecting engines and drivetrain components. In other words, it's the best oil he's seen"

 

AMSOIL Customers Appreciate Greater MPG

Although results vary because of a variety of factors, a common denominator among AMSOIL motor oil users is an improvement in fuel economy.

Independent testing reveals that AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 motor oil passes the API Energy Conservation Sequence VI test with a rating 38 percent higher than the API minimum specifications.

"The test results show that AMSOIL has the potential to save energy by conserving fuel," said Technical Services Manager Ed Kellerman. "In most cases it can increase mileage, but at the very least you're getting superior engine protection."

Ralph Sites, a police officer in Rustburg, VA, said he put AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil in his 2002 GL 1800 Honda Gold Wing when it had 4,550 miles on the engine.

"I had been getting 30 miles per gallon," Sites said. "I was supposed to be getting 40 to 45 miles per gallon."

His first oil change to AMSOIL improved his mileage to 38 miles per gallon. At 6,500 miles on the engine, after replacing the final drive oil with AMSOIL Series 2000 75W-90 Gear Lube, he improved to 40 miles per gallon.

"I switched to AMSOIL for the long-term gain. The improved gas mileage was just a bonus. AMSOIL is less expensive than Honda's synthetic and I don't have to change it as often. It's a win-win situation."

He bought the bike new in January 2002 and had put 12,000 miles on it in August. He said the improved mileage he's gotten since switching to AMSOIL has saved him $102 just in gasoline.

 

AMSOIL Gives Life to a Sweet Old Cadillac. Making a skeptic into a believer again.

Dear AMSOIL,

 

I thought you might appreciate hearing my AMSOIL story. When the opportunity arose last year to purchase my mother-in-law's 1987 Cadillac DeVille, I jumped at the chance. A true low mileage survivor, it was in near pristine condition. I was proudly showing it off to a mechanic friend when he said, "Uh-oh, you bought an HT-4100? Good luck buddy."

After much research I understood what he meant. The HT-4100 was rumored to be one of the most troublesome engines Cadillac ever built. The problems are numerous: an aluminum block with cast iron heads that expand and contract at different rates causing premature head and intake gasket failure, coolant loss into the oil, and finally main and rod bearing failure. They also have a heavily loaded distributor gear, weak timing gears, and sludging issues.

My first thought was, if ever an engine needed AMSOIL, it's this one. I first heard about AMSOIL at the old Brohman Dragway in the late 1970s from a fellow racer who swore by it. For the past 10 years, I've used various synthetic oils with favorable results, but never AMSOIL. Then I talked with Dave Mann, the AMSOIL Dealer in my home town, and told him my story. Having spent 19 years as a lubrication specialist with Ford, Dave knows his stuff. He made several recommendations, and shared with me his excellent e-book on motor oils.

I also asked around at the Cadillac owners group I belong to, and almost every one of them said, "Don't buy AMSOIL! It's too expensive and won't do you any good. You need this or that oil with this or that additive," and so on. So who was I to believe?

Having spent over 25 years in advertising and marketing, I have a strong skepticism for extravagant claims made by manufacturers. Usually, when you hear impressive adjectives like "advanced" and "superior," someone just wants your money or your vote (or both). So I read the science; from AMSOIL and from several independent studies. I came to the conclusion that it really is an excellent product. It also intrigued me that one of the primary sales points made by AMSOIL is to convince you to buy LESS of their product. That kind of marketing is contrary to anything I've experienced, and elevates AMSOIL's credibility level exponentially.

I switched the Cadillac over to AMSOIL 5W-30 (ASL) last fall, then put in AMSOIL 10W-30 (ATM) this spring (even though it's not a turbo, I like the extra wear protection offered by this formula). Rather than letting the oil go a full year, I change it every six months, during which time it accumulates about 6,000 miles. My dad was an auto mechanic and taught the 3,000-mile oil change rule like it was the 11th commandment - that kind of conditioning is hard to overcome. With this frequency, I still spend less money than if I changed the oil on a three-month/3,000-mile schedule. I use the money I save to have drain samples tested by an independent lab each time.

The Deville now has 50,000 miles and runs like a fine Swiss watch. I have not had a single problem with the 'troublesome' HT-4100 engine. It runs roughly 10 degrees cooler than with regular oil, and my gas mileage has increased by 10%. It has become my mission to get 200,000 miles from this car. With AMSOIL, I might just make it.


As an addendum, I also recently switched my wife's 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan to AMSOIL. Since we've owned it, this car has had a lifter clatter for the first 10 seconds on cold starts. Literally, on the first start after putting in AMSOIL, the clatter was gone.

Thanks AMSOIL. By making a superb product that truly does what you say it will do, you've given new life to a sweet old Cadillac, and made a believer out of this devout skeptic. (see photos of car and engine)

HDT Sets AMA Land Speed Record with AMSOIL

Hayes Diversified Technologies (HDT), located in Hesperia, California,
produces diesel powered tactical military motorcycles for the U.S. armed
services as well as the UK and EU NATO countries. Founded in 1961, the
company originally manufactured electro-mechanical switches and relays to
the military & aerospace industries.

The new HDT motorcycles are diesel machines combining both power and
environmentally friendly performance efficiency. We are talking about a
bike that gets 100 miles to the gallon AND can do 100 mph.

The HDT team was out on the Bonneville Salt Flats earlier this month,
striving to establish new national and world records. Displaying the AMSOIL
colors while going through the paces at Bonneville, they offered up quite a
number of very strong endorsements with virtually no prompting. We noticed
an increase in horsepower right away when compared to Delvac 1, said Fred
Hayes, founder/CEO of HDT. What was quite surprising was the condition of
the engine after a 50-mile run-in and over 120 full-throttle dyno runs. The
camshaft bearings, the small and large end rod bearings, didn't even look
like they had been run. During that series of dyno runs, we registered the
highest horse-power and torque readings ever.

Dave Anderson, AMSOIL Technical Product Manager, had flown to Bonneville to
witness and participate in the pursuit of new land speed records. Hayes
said to Anderson, "Our testing proved that AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy
Duty Diesel Oil provided better cam bearing lubrication, better
transmission operation and less blow-by than our previous oil. We picked up
just over one horse power at the rear well." This is a 3.7% increase and
worth a 1 tooth higher gear ratio. In addition, it appears that overall
coolant temperature was down about five degrees. That is roughly a 2.5%
decrease in operating temperatures.

Very few bikers would be opposed to increased horsepower with lower
operating temps, simply by switching over the lubricants.

With over a year of testing, we have found that AMSOIL products continually
outperform all other lubricants. AMSOIL provides improved performance,
increased fuel economy, lower oil consumption, and significantly reduced
engine wear in all operating conditions.

New Life for Dodge Ram

Preferred Customer Lyle Reinier from Mesa, Ariz. has been using AMSOIL
products for four years with complete satisfaction. He said that when he
started using them in his 2001 Dodge Ram they “changed the way it ran.”

Now Reinier drives a 2004 Dodge Ram. He uses AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 in the
engine, AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid in the
transmission and 80W-140 Long Life Gear Lube.

“AMSOIL has given this truck life that it was hiding before,” said Reinier.
Reinier said the Ram now pulls stronger and runs smoother than it did
before. He made the switch to AMSOIL when the truck hit the 3,000-mile
mark. “What comes as a surprise to me is that my Dodge dealer had no
problem doing a complete drain and fill with AMSOIL,” said Reinier.

Reinier said the dealer removed all the Dodge transmission fluid and
refilled the truck with AMSOIL ATF. “Within a mile or two I could feel the
transmission was smoother and showed a difference in how it performed,”
said Reinier.

Reinier also uses AMSOIL in his dirt bikes. He and his wife have been using
AMSOIL 0W-40 Formula 4-Stroke since it was introduced. Within the last
year, Reinier performed a big bore and a valve job on their bikes in search
of more power.

“The insides of the cases, transmission gears and crank shafts were all
like brand-new,” said Reinier.

Reinier said the cylinder walls of each bike still showed some cross
hatching from the original bore. He also said the bikes run quieter,
smoother and cooler than they did before the switch to AMSOIL. Both bikes
have their original clutches and have logged over 4,000 trail miles.
