Motor
Oil Test & Comparison - The Most Comprehensive Test Results
Ever Published by AMSOIL
Environmental Benefits of AMSOIL
Innovation, Efficiency &
Solutions
Our mechanized society cannot function
without lubricants. The dilemma is oil is both necessary for
our life-style and potentially destructive to nature. Quite
simply, we must select innovative, efficient products that
will help solve our pollution problems.
The introduction of AMSOIL synthetic
motor oil in 1972 set all new standards for motor oil quality.
AMSOIL lubricants are 100% synthetic. They are specially designed
to protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer,
reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution.
From the beginning, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have out-performed
conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils
resist chemical breakdown and sludging which keeps engines
cleaner. They have been specifically designed not to oxidize,
volatilize or shear back, resulting in a motor oil that lasts
longer than conventional petroleum motor oils. While petroleum
motor oil manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000
miles, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils protect engine components
up to 35,000 miles or 1 year, dramatically extending oil change
intervals.
AMSOIL Prescription for Prevention:
According to the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Pollution Prevention Requirements, the first
step in revitalizing a cleaner nation is pollutant source
reduction.
AMSOIL accomplishes this by
extending the interval between motor oil changes which can
reduce the source of motor oil pollution more than eleven
times.
Consider this: in 1993 an estimated
189.5 million motorized vehicles were on the road in the United
States alone, and an estimated 700 million motorized vehicles
were in operation throughout the world. If, by petroleum oil
manufacturer’s recommendations, these vehicles have
their oil changed every 3,000 miles on an average five-quart
system, almost 1 billion quarts of used oil will be generated
each month. So are we drowning in oil? It is estimated at
present 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.
How dangerous is used oil? Just
one quart can pro-duce 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. Improperly disposed used
oil is dangerous.
Improperly dumped used oil seeps
through landfills into ground water, disrupts bacterial digestion
in sewer treatment plants and washes into lakes and harbors.
At present, used motor oil is the largest single source of
oil pollution in our nation’s waterways. Certainly the
first thing we can do is not create so much used oil to begin
with . . . and the United States Department of Energy seems
to agree.

Prevent Billions of Quarts From
Being Dumped
Most automobile manufacturers recommend
oil drain intervals of 3,000 to 6,000 miles for petroleum
motor oils. AMSOIL recommends up to a 35,000-mile oil change
which is 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes. Just think about
the savings on the environment if, for example, the 135 million
cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States
were equipped with AMSOIL motor oil. Assuming an average service-life
of 100,000 miles and an oil capacity of 5 quarts each, 11.4
billion to 22.3 billion quarts of used oil will be generated
during a regular service lifetime (with regular oil changes
every 3,000 to 6,000 miles). If you put 22.3 billion quarts
of used oil into 55-gallon barrels and loaded them onto semi-trucks,
a line of trucks would stretch end-to-end from Los Angeles
to Washington D.C. and back to Los Angeles.
AMSOIL Solutions
For nearly three decades, AMSOIL INC.
has been recognized as the leader in synthetic lubrication
technology. AMSOIL was the first to introduce a synthetic
motor oil qualified by the American Petroleum Institute, the
first to recommend 25,000-mile/1-year drain intervals, the
first to recommend 35,000-mile/1-year drain intervals, and
the first to implement a system for dramatically increasing
drain intervals with oil analysis. Decades of research, laboratory
analysis and millions of engine miles have kept AMSOIL the
leader in automotive applications for synthetic lubrication.
Although the results have paid off in maximizing efficiency
and minimizing waste, they are not conclusive. AMSOIL is the
leader in synthetics and with continued research, analysis
and product development will remain the industry’s leader.
Looking Toward The Future
In 1983 AMSOIL created the TRI-GARD
system. The life of a lubricant is dependent on the quality
of oil and the filtration system’s ability to keep it
clean. The AMSOIL TRI-GARD system incorporates AMSOIL Synthetic
Motor Oil, the AMSOIL Foam Air Filter, the AMSOIL By-Pass
Filter and oil analysis to dramatically extend the oil change
interval. Less oil changed means less oil disposal and less
oil pollution. With regards to the environment, the AMSOIL
TRI-GARD System is the most technologically sound, environmentally
friendly motor oil program to reduce oil disposal.
Other Ecological/Economical
Benefits of AMSOIL
Reduces Emissions: Increases
Engine Life
Each year nearly 600 million gallons of motor oil are burned
and exit through the tailpipes of cars and trucks, creating
emissions pollution. Petroleum oils volatilize (burn off)
more readily than AMSOIL synthetic oils and create more emissions
pollution.
The graph at the right (will
be available soon) shows the results of five oils that underwent
the NOACK Volatility Test. Of all the oils tested, AMSOIL
shows dramatically less weight loss . . . less than half the
weight loss of its closest counterpart. Some oils tested lost
20 percent of their weight. That means almost one fifth of
the oil boils away and is released into the environment. For
most cars, that’s approximately a quart of oil being
burned and expelled into nature.
The thicker oil left behind
after volatization contributes to damaging deposits, sticky
piston rings and oil blow-by, all of which cause reduced engine
life, reduced fuel economy and increased air pollution.
Greater Fuel Economy
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness)
of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants has been proven to increase
fuel economy by 2-5%. AMSOIL reduces friction and allows your
engine to use its heat-energy more efficiently.
How Much Is a 5% Savings in
Fuel? The average person drives slightly more than 10,000
miles each year. A 5% savings in fuel gives you about $50
in savings a year (assuming you get 30 mpg, at $3.00 per gallon)
| Worldwide Vehicle Population: 1970:
245 million 1985: 520 million 2000: (est.): 800 million
If, in the year 2000, these vehicles change oil 3 times
each year and have 5 quart systems, 1 billion quarts of
waste oil will be generated each month.
“Each month, petroleum products
emit the equivalent of an ‘oil spill’ into
the Los Angeles Basin’s air as massive as the
10-million-gallon spill from the Exxon Valdez, according
to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.”
