AMSOIL Synthetic Oil
AMSOIL specializes in developing synthetic lubricants that offer innovative answers to the greatest challenges vehicles and equipment present. The extraordinary performance of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants in a range of markets – automotive, powersports, industrial, racing and more – has made our influence in the industry unmistakable and the brand highly respected. AMSOIL'S commitment to innovation has resulted in legions of brand-loyal customers.
AMSOIL invests heavily in product research and validation to ensure they remain at the industry’s forefront. AMSOIL'S on-site chemical and mechanical test facilities contain the sophisticated instruments needed to develop cutting-edge synthetic technology. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are validated in long-range studies with taxicabs, delivery fleets, police and emergency vehicles, over-the-road trucks, wind turbines and industrial machinery.
What Is Synthetic Motor Oil?
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are chemically engineered to form pure lubricants. They contain no contaminants or molecules that don’t serve a designed purpose. Their versatility and pure, uniform molecular structures impart properties that provide better friction-reduction, optimum fuel efficiency, maximum film strength and extreme-temperature performance conventional lubricants just can’t touch.
Conventional lubricants, on the other hand, are refined from crude oil. Contaminating elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and metal components such as nickel or vanadium are inherent to crude oil and cannot be completely removed through the refining process. The oil refining process separates the various types of molecules in the oil by weight, leaving molecules similar in weight but dissimilar in structure, reducing performance.
AMSOIL delivers powerful engine protection. How good is it? In third-party testing compared to a leading brand, AMSOIL provided long-lasting wear protection, keeping cylinder liners looking like new.
Differences begin at the molecular level
Although you might know that synthetic oils outperform conventional oils, you might not understand why.
Synthetics don’t contain the impurities and molecular irregularities inherent to conventional oils. Synthetics’ pure, uniform molecular structures impart properties that provide wear protection, extreme temperature performance and fuel efficiency conventional lubricants just can’t touch – all of which helps you save money with vehicles that run better and last longer.
Engine Protection
Only a microscopic film of oil separates metal surfaces in your engine from touching and causing wear. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils form a more durable fluid film than conventional oils due to their resilient base oils. They reduce wear and help you maximize engine life.
AMSOIL Signature Series Excels
The Sequence IIIG Engine Test (ASTM D7320) is designed to evaluate automotive motor oils for oil thickening, piston deposits, oil consumption and engine wear during moderately high-speed, high-temperature service. It must be passed for motor oil to meet the API SN and ILSAC GF-5 motor oil specifications. Results in the 100-hour test are an important indicator of how well a motor oil will perform in real-world service.
Because Signature Series has historically performed well in the test, AMSOIL decided to push the envelope and subject the oil to a double-length (200-hour) Sequence IIIG Engine Test.
Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil not only passed the double-length test, it did so with flying colors. Results show the oil delivered outstanding wear protection, deposit control and oxidative stability after 200 hours of testing. The complete results are available in the new Sequence IIIG Field Study - PDF DOWLOAD.
Extreme Temperatures
(COLD) 36% Easier & Faster Cold Starts. When the temperature drops, motor oils thicken and move slower, causing parts of your engine to remain unprotected for a short period of time. AMSOIL is more fluid at cold temperatures than the tested conventional oil, giving you 36% easier and faster cold starts. This means it can reach vital components faster, providing more immediate engine protection and reduced wear.
(HOT) 5x Cleaner Engines in Hot Conditions. Vehicle manufacturers are altering engine designs to keep pace with increasingly strict fuel economy standards, resulting in engines that run hotter than ever. The average operating temperature is up to 235°F, and even hotter under heavy loads. This heat can quickly break down oil, leading to oxidation, sludge and deposits. Recent tests show AMSOIL keeps engines 81% cleaner* (5 times cleaner) than conventional oil by better resisting the formation of deposits.
MAXIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY
The base oils used in conventional oils contain molecules of different sizes and weights as well as unwanted materials, like wax. This typically requires more energy to circulate throughout your engine, which can reduce fuel economy. Conversely, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are formulated using molecularly uniform synthetic base oils that slip easily over one another and are free of unwanted materials. They help reduce energy lost to friction and maximize fuel economy.
These base oils are primarily responsible for fighting wear, reducing heat and minimizing friction. The addition of different chemical additives to the formulation enhances motor oil performance. Additives combat chemical breakdown, neutralize acids, provide additional wear protection and more, depending on the formulation and application for which it’s intended.
38% LESS OIL CONSUMPTION
If enough motor oil is consumed, eventually there may not be enough to reach all the complex parts of your engine, which can potentially cause damage. AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 showed 38% less oil consumption* than the tested conventional oil, requiring less-frequent top-offs.
What it means to you? Reduced oil consumption means less time and money wasted topping off your oil. It also gives you confidence that your motor oil isn’t evaporating in the face of extreme heat and instead is doing what it’s designed to do – protect your engine.
WARRANTY SECURE | AMSOIL GUARANTEE
AMSOIL products are Warranty Secure, keeping your factory warranty intact. They are high-performance replacements for vehicle/equipment manufacturer-branded products. You can be confident using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants or practicing extended drain intervals will not void your new vehicle or equipment manufacturer’s warranty.
In America, the federal Magnuson Moss Warranty Act protects your freedom to choose the brand of parts and lubricants you think is best without fear of voiding your factory warranty.
U.S. FEDERAL LAW It is illegal to tie warranty coverage to whichever brand of parts or lubricants you use. Manufacturers that do so must provide the parts or lubricants free of charge.
You have the freedom to choose how you protect your vehicles and equipment, including use of products formulated for extended drain intervals.
Manufacturers can’t deny warranty coverage without showing the aftermarket part or lubricant caused a failure.
GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE
Like our products, the AMSOIL Limited Warranty is built with an extra measure of protection. While some other oil companies guarantee their products only until you reach a specified mileage, we don't place restrictions on our warranty coverage based on total vehicle miles.
PERFORMANCE FOR ANY ENGINE
AMSOIL makes top-quality synthetic lubricants for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, four-wheeler, snowmobile, lawnmower and anything else with an engine.
