What Happens When Motorists Switch
to AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil?
When
AMSOIL INC. developed the world's
first API rated synthetic motor oil
in 1972, new parameters for motor
oil performance were established.
AMSOIL motor oil outperformed
conventional petroleum motor oils on
all counts. Today, virtually every
motor oil manufacturer has followed
AMSOIL's lead and offers synthetic
motor oils of their own. What can
motorists expect when they switch
their vehicles to AMSOIL motor oil?

Immediate start-up protection
Sixty percent of all engine wear
happens during engine start-up.
AMSOIL motor oils use high polarity
base stocks and special anti-wear
agents that form a thin film that
clings to engine parts, preventing
metal to metal contact and providing
immediate start-up protection.
AMSOIL motor oils also lubricate
vital engine components by quickly
flowing through the engine
immediately after start-up.

Higher engine rpms and more power
AMSOIL synthetic motor oil reduces
friction more effectively than
conventional oils, so engine
bearings rotate easier. This saves
energy and conserves fuel. When the
engine doesn't have to work as hard
to move its parts, that power can
now be used to drive the vehicle.
Many new AMSOIL users also report
their shift points actually decrease
due to the added power their engines
experience. |

Increased fuel efficiency
Since AMSOIL synthetic motor oils
create less friction, they also help
reduce fuel consumption, increasing
a vehicle's fuel economy
significantly. Operating with AMSOIL,
the engine doesn't have to work as
hard to turn the wheels, so it takes
less fuel to run. |

Lower temperatures
AMSOIL motor oils can reduce
excessive operating temperatures of
oil sumps by up to 20� F. compared
to conventional motor oils. Friction
generates heat and since AMSOIL
motor oils reduce friction, less
heat is generated. AMSOIL motor oils
also carry heat away from the engine
more efficiently than conventional
oils to further enhance the cooling
process. |

Easier starting in cold weather
Conventional motor oils contain wax
impurities that cause the oil to
thicken at low temperatures, which
slows the flow of oil through the
engine at start-up and promotes
wear. Conventional oils can thicken
to the point where the engine won't
even turn over and start. AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils contain no wax
impurities. AMSOIL motor oils help
engines start easier in low
temperatures than conventional motor
oils and flow more quickly to engine
parts for immediate start-up
protection. Most users of AMSOIL
motor oils find that they no longer
need to use a block heater.
