Why Are Synthetics Better?
Synthetic lubricants are chemically engineered from pure chemicals rather than refined from crude oil. That gives them significant advantages over refined oils. Conventional oils - the oils most people are familiar with - are refined from crude oil. Refining is a process of physically separating light oil components from heavy ones. Synthetic lubricants are pure, their molecular structure is uniform, and they are designed to work in applications in which refined oils cannot. There ability in reducing friction, heat and wear for maximum power, performance and fuel efficiency, and resistant to high temperature burn-off, chemical breakdown and sludging makes them superior to all petroleum oil keeping engines cleaner. What
is the
difference between synthetic and conventional oil?

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. 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.
Extends the Vehicle Life
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.
The Right Choice for the Environment
It is estimated 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. Just one quart of used
oil 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.
Going
Green
doesn't have to cost you a lot of money. In fact it will
save you money and prolong the life of your vehicle. If the 243
million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United
States were equipped with AMSOIL motor oil, only 3.5 billion to
16.2 billion quarts of oil would be consumed instead of 20.2
billion to 40.5 billion quarts, assuming an average service-life
of 100,000 miles. Find out more about

Why Use AMSOIL?
AMSOIL has been the leader in synthetic lubrication for automotive service since 1972, hence its name "The
First In Synthetics®" Compared to conventional petroleum based lubricants, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils yield significant increases in fuel economy. Know the Facts, AMSOIL Saves You Money! AMSOIL extended drain intervals mean fewer oil changes, long term savings and convenience.
Because AMSOIL oil is the best! Extensive testing against 10 competing conventional, synthetic and synthetic blend motor oils proves AMSOIL oil outperforms all competitors and provides consumers with the following benefits:
Testing details AMSOIL Synthetics provides low temperature fluidity for fast, dependable winter starts and cold start protection. They exceed the most demanding world-wide performance standards and meet or exceed all warranty requirements for all domestic and imported vehicles, both turbo-charged and & non-turbo-charged. Check AMSOIL motor oil comparison tests against 10 conventional petroleum and synthetic oil brands.
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.
It does little good worrying about whether
fuel prices will go up or down. Very few people have control over the
price of fuel at the pump. What you should focus on, then, are things
you can control. Foremost among these are the lubricants you use in your
engine and drivetrain.

AMSOIL Can Save you Money on Fuel
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.
Not everyone is able
to downsize their vehicle every time gas prizes go up, but whether
you downsize or not, you'll want to switch to AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants and fuel additives for more efficient, cleaner engine
operation.
AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver increases fuel economy, reduces
emissions and restores vehicle power and performance by dissolving
and removing combustion chamber, intake valve and fuel injector
deposits. In fact, field testing shows AMSOIL P.i. provides an
average fuel economy improvement of 2.3 percent and up to 5.7
percent. Because of this substantiation, as well as the company’s
confidence in the performance benefits of P.i.,

Is
Your Diesel Ready For The Cold Weather?
|
As
the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins
to form crystals. The point at which wax crystals form is known as
the cloud point. These wax crystals eventually clog the fuel filter
and starve the engine of fuel or prevent it from starting. While
low-quality fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as
40°F, most fuels have a cloud point near 32°F.
One traditional solution to cold-weather
problems in diesel engines is the use of #1 diesel fuel, which is
diesel fuel diluted with kerosene. While #1 diesel fuel has an
advantage in low temperature operability, there are also several
disadvantages. The energy content of #1 diesel fuel is about 95
percent of #2 diesel fuel, resulting in reduced fuel economy and
less horsepower. In addition, the kerosene used in #1 diesel fuel
provides less lubrication for the fuel pump and fuel distributor,
increasing the likelihood for wear on these critical components
AMSOIL has several products including Cold Flow
Improver to help you make it thought the winter months without the
worry of gelled fuel. The weather can change rapidly in the winter
months, and should you find your fuel has gelled we have a solution
for that too. See all our products to help you thought the winter
