AMSOIL Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about AMSOIL but were afraid to ask.
In 1972 AMSOIL
developed the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum
Institute service requirements.
Currently, the AMSOIL product line includes the finest quality synthetic motor oils, synthetic
diesel oils, gear lubes, synthetic greases, industrial lubricants, oil filters,
air filters and automotive performance products.

Absolutely not!
Vehicle manufacturers recommend using oils meeting certain viscosity grades
and American Petroleum Institute service requirements. Whether the motor oil is
petroleum based or synthetic will not affect warranty coverage. The manufacturer
is required to cover all equipment failures it would normally cover as long as
the oil meets the requirements and was not the cause of the failure. AMSOIL
exceeds these requirements and has never been deemed the cause of an engine's
failure. Even so, AMSOIL has its own limited warranty, protecting you even
further. In addition, the federally mandated Magnuson-Moss Act that a
manufacturer may not require the use of a specific brand of aftermarket product
unless it's provided for free.
Conventional petroleum oils are refined from crude oil which is pumped from
within the earth. The refining process, however, does not remove many of the
impurities inherent in the crude oil. These impurities detract from the
lubricating ability of the oil and contribute to deposit, sludge and varnish
formation. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are constructed in the laboratory and
contain no impurities. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have uniform molecular
structures and are designed for specific lubricating applications. They are not
affected by the high temperatures or demanding operating conditions of modern
engines.
Absolutely not!
Switching from petroleum to AMSOIL is perfectly safe.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have demonstrated improved performance and fuel
economy, reduced oil consumption, lower repair costs, easier cold-temperature
starts, increased engine life and reduced emissions.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are guaranteed to run 25,000 to 35,000 miles or
one year in mechanically sound engines, providing of course, the oil is kept
free of contaminates by using an AMSOIL EaO oil filter, or by changing the oil
filter according to the manufacturer's recommendation. AMSOIL coined the phrase "extended
drain interval" and its been validated by 30 years of industry testing
and by tens of thousands of motorists and millions of over-the-road miles.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide extended drain performance because they
don't break down in heat like conventional petroleum oils do. AMSOIL motor oils
don't form performance-robbing deposits, and don't volatize (burn off), which
alters viscosity and increases oil consumption. Finally AMSOIL's superior
additive package, a key element in the oil's ability to function, holds up under
engine stresses, remaining serviceable for the full 25,000 to 35,000 miles.
AMSOIL products save you money over
time!
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are more expensive off the shelf than most
petroleum oils, but comparing AMSOIL and other motor oils is like comparing
apples and oranges. AMSOIL so far exceeds that of conventional motor oils, it's
really a different class of product. AMSOIL is a premium product that rightfully
demands a premium price.
Like anything of real value, however, the true consumer cost does not end
with the purchase price. AMSOIL motor oils are extremely cost effective compared
to conventional 3,000-mile drain interval oils in savings realized in fuel
economy, reduced repairs, fewer oil changes,
reduced downtime, reduced maintenance and extended engine life.
