Why Use Amsoil

There are many reasons- we have listed a few below!

Improved Performance

More Power

The smooth molecular structures of AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils create less intrafluid friction than the relatively

rough molecular structures of conventional motor oils,

while their high film strengths reduce metal-to-metal friction.

Engines running AMSOIL synthetic motor oil waste

less energy overcoming intrafluid and metal-to-metal

friction, allowing them to deliver more power to the

transmission. Vehicles respond quicker and achieve

faster top speeds.

Increased Fuel Economy

The low intrafluid friction and metal-to-metal friction

reducing properties of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils

also improve fuel economy by delivering more of the

energy created through combustion of the air-fuel mixture

to the transmission.

Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL synthetic motor

oils contain no light molecules that may be lost to

volatilization. Volatilization thickens conventional oils

and makes them more difficult to pump, while the low

volatilization of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil helps them

maintain their original viscosity and fuel economy benefits.

Cold Temperature Starting

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils retain better cold temperature

cranking and pumping characteristics than

petroleum oils. Because AMSOIL synthetic motor oils

resist viscosity increases in cold temperatures, they

allow the crankshaft to turn fast enough to start the

engine in cold winter temperatures. Resistance to cold

temperature viscosity increases also allows AMSOIL

synthetic motor oils to maintain their pumpability for

fast post-startup engine lubrication and excellent wear

protection.

Increased Vehicle Life

Wear Control

Viscosity Retention – The superior chemistry of

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils helps them maintain thick

protective oil films in high temperature operating conditions.

Many competing motor oils contain low quality

additives prone to rupture during periods of mechanical

stress, affecting the oil’s ability to maintain a thick protective

oil film during high temperature operating conditions

and exposing critical engine parts to increased

levels of wear.

Film Strength – AMSOIL synthetic motor oils feature

molecules of uniform size and shape and uniformly

strong intermolecular bonds, helping them maintain an

unbroken lubricating film even when faced with stressful

engine operations such as rapid acceleration and

deceleration.

Corrosion Protection – Acids form as combustion byproducts,

such as water, combine with oxidation byproducts

or fuel or air constituents such as sulfur or

nitrogen. Acids corrode metals, while heat helps acids

damage metal engine parts very rapidly. AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils contain highly effective acid-neutralizing

additives, something especially beneficial for diesel

engines.

Water is a normal combustion by-product that condenses

on engine surfaces once they cool. Allowed to

remain on these engine surfaces, it promotes corrosion.

Stored engines are particularly prone to corrosion

damage. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils form a water

occlusive barrier on metal surfaces, protecting them

from corrosion.

Foam Suppression – Engine operation can whip air into

motor oil and impair its ability to provide adequate

wear protection. Anti-foam additives in AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils enhance wear protection by collapsing

entrained air bubbles.

Contaminant Suspension – Dirt, engine wear metals

and combustion by-products such as soot work to

accelerate engine wear. Motor oil reduces the damage

caused by these contaminants by carrying them to the

oil filter, where they become trapped. AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils are formulated with highly effective dispersant

additives that keep contaminants suspended in

the oil stream until they reach the oil filter.

Diesel engines are particularly subject to soot contamination.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils reduce damage

caused by soot by keeping soot particles from agglomerating.

As soot agglomerates and particles grow in

size, wear can occur. Furthermore, viscosity increases

which may lead to filter plugging.

Heat Stress Control

Heat Transfer – Excessive engine heat promotes

excessive engine wear and can lead to part failure. The

saturated molecular structure of AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils withstands higher temperatures than conventional

oils before the oil breaks down. AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils possess a high degree of thermal

conductivity, providing cooler running engines.

Thermal Stability – The uniformly sized and shaped

molecules and uniformly strong intermolecular bonds of

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils remain intact during high

temperature operation, protecting engines from varnish

and coke and providing constant lubrication protection

during extreme temperature operation.

Low Volatility – The light molecules present in conventional

oils tend to volatilize in the presence of heat,

thickening the oil and making it more difficult to pump,

stressing the engine, increasing wear and decreasing

fuel economy. Because they contain no light molecules

that volatilize in the presence of heat, AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils maintain their superior protection qualities

in high temperature operating conditions.

Oxidative Stability – Certain oxidation products, such

as sludge, interfere with the engine’s ability to function,

while others, such as acids, contribute to engine

damage. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are highly supplemented

with multiple premium grade oxidation

Other Benefits

Reduced Repairs – The superior protection and performance

benefits of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils

reduce engine component failures, saving time and

money spent on engine repairs.

Reduced Maintenance – The superior formulations

of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils allow them to last much

longer than competing conventional and synthetic motor

oils. While competing motor oil companies typically

recommend 3,000-mile drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils are recommended for drain intervals of

up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

Reduced Solid Waste – Because AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils may be used over eight times longer than

conventional oils, AMSOIL customers produce significantly

less used oil waste.

Reduced Air Pollution – Because AMSOIL synthetic

motor oils improve fuel economy, they effectively reduce

harmful exhaust emissions.

Save Money – AMSOIL synthetic motor oils save customers

money by extending engine life, reducing repairs

and maintenance, increasing oil drain intervals and

increasing fuel economy.

In the early winter months of 2005, AMSOIL

set out on a mission to become the top

motor oil company in Championship Off-

Road Racing (CORR). That year saw the

emergence of the AMSOIL/Kumho Tires Super Team, a group of

the sport’s premiere short-course off-road racers. The AMSOIL

drivers began stockpiling wins and podium finishes and challenged

the biggest names in the sport for the championship crown.

Long-time AMSOIL-sponsored driver Mike Oberg, the 2006

CORR Rookie of the Year, will make a full-time return to the series

this year. The Eagle River, Wis. native will be a major contender in

the Pro 2 class and will be looking to get his hands back on the

Jason Baldwin Memorial Cup that he won in the winner-take-all final

race of 2006. Oberg is one of only two men ever to drive a twowheel

drive truck to a win in a “Cup” race that also features a full

field of Pro 4 (4wd) trucks.

“AMSOIL has been great for our program the past few years,”

says Oberg. “Our goal is to return to CORR and win a championship.

The sport is growing and there are a lot of new faces on the

starting line, but we’ve won there before and we’ll win there again.”

AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas has dedicated his

entire off-season to the goal of winning the Pro 4 championship,

which he missed by only 22 points in 2007. The El Cajon, Calif.

native ran two series last year, picked up six wins and finished on

the podium 13 times. The 2006 Borgwarner Cup winner will be looking

to add to his win total in 2008.

“We have been working hard on the AMSOIL Ford F-150 all

winter long,” says Douglas. “We are focusing on getting off to a great

start in 2008 and making a push for another championship. We had

a bad start last year after crashing hard on the first weekend for the

second straight year, but we now have two great trucks heading into

the year and will be back on top again.”

The patience and persistence AMSOIL has displayed over the

past three years will be paying off in a major way in 2008. In

February, AMSOIL agreed to a three-year deal with CORR to

become the Exclusive Official Oil of the off-road series.

“AMSOIL believes in the vision and ambition CORR has demonstrated

over the past few years,” says AMSOIL

Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer. “They

have the top competition, the best television

package and the resources to push off-road

racing into an exceptional period of growth

and excitement for years to come. Along with

all of our corporately-sponsored race teams,

the addition of CORR boosts an already successful

racing program.”

Drivers, sponsors and fans continue to be

drawn to the unique style of racing CORR

offers. Current NASCAR superstar Jimmie

Johnson began his racing career competing in

the series. In 2008, athletes like Supercross

champions Jeremy McGrath and Ricky

Johnson will be racing full-time in this roughand-

tumble series.
