This is a must see for anyone thats has doubts about using Amsoil oil…
after 600,00 miles on a Mack truck hear what the Mack people say about what they found when the engine was tore down.

Don’t get fooled by someone claiming their oil protects better…
you got to see this…
.This reveals how the Falex test machine can be used to achieve results that may be misleading in determining the wear protection properties of lubricants.

Four Ball Wear Test

This test show just how well synthetics Protects Against Wear

The Four-Ball Wear Test evaluates the protection provided by engine oil under conditions of pressure and sliding motion. The size of the scar left as a result of the test determines the amount of wear protection the lubricant provides. The smaller the wear scar, the better the protection. Tests show that AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has better antiwear performance than all other oils tested. With AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil, engine life can be extended and major repairs are often reduced.

Cold Crank Simulator Test

Helps Engines Start Easier

The Cold Crank Simulator Test determines the apparent viscosity of lubricants at low temperatures and high shear rates. Viscosity of lubricants under these conditions is directly related to engine cranking and startability. The lower a lubricant’s cold crank viscosity, the easier an engine will turn over in cold temperatures. The low cold crank viscosity of AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil reduces drag on moving engine parts and allows engines to achieve critical cranking speed in extremely frigid temperatures. Engines turn over quickly and dependably in the coldest winter temperatures.

Total Base Number

Total Base Number

Controls Acid Formation

Total Base Number (TBN) is the measurement of a lubricant’s reserve alkalinity, which aids in the control of acids formed during the combustion process. The higher a motor oil’s TBN, the more effective it is in suspending wear-causing contaminants and reducing the corrosive effects of acids over an extended period of time.

The high TBN of AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil allows it to effectively combat wear-causing contaminants and acids, providing superior protection and performance over extended drain intervals.

Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test

Extends Oil Life

The Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test (TFOUT) is used to evaluate engine oil’s ability to resist heat and oxygen breakdown when contaminated with oxidized/nitrated fuel, water, and soluble metals such as lead, copper, iron, manganese and silicon. This test is designed to mimic the operating conditions of a gasoline engine.

AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has superior heat and oxidation resistance to control sludge deposits and extend oil life. Engines stay clean for maximum protection and oil changes are reduced, saving time and money.

NOACK Volatility Test

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:36:04 +0000

Maximizes Fuel Economy, Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions

The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions.

AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatilization (evaporation) better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption and emissions.

Pour Point Test

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:30:59 +0000

The Pour Point Test determines the lowest temperature at which a lubricant will flow. The lower a lubricant’s pour point, the better protection it provides in low temperature service. Unlike conventional oils that solidify in cold temperatures, AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor oil remains fluid down to -58° F. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil helps engines turn over easier and flows quickly to engine parts for critical start-up protection. Engines start faster and wear is greatly reduced for extended engine life.

Cheap Oil Change

Lets say Bob is a do it yourself oil chnage guy.Bob who drives 25,000 miles per year and uses conventional motor oil and filters for 3,000-mile
drain intervals must change his oil 8 times each year:

He uses Conventional 5W-30 or 10W-30 Motor Oil of which he needs

40 quarts needed for 25,000 miles* @ $3.00/qt. x 40 = $120.00
8 Standard Oil Filters @ $6.00 per filter x 8 = $48.00
TOTAL $168.00
Bob DIY oil change guy pays $21 per 3,000 miles.

Then there is Tom another do it yourself oil change guy.Tom also drives 25,000 miles per year and uses AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and high-performance Ea Oil Filters for 25,000-mile drain intervals.

Tom only changes his oil once per year (Note: AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils may be used for 25,000 miles with conventional
oil filters, but filters must be changed at filter manufacturer’s
recommended change interval):

AMSOIL 5W-30 or 10W-30 Motor Oil
5 quarts needed for 25,000 miles* @ $8.90/qt. x 5 = $44.50
1 AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter @ $16.00
TOTAL $60.50

Tom the DIY oil change guy pays only $7.26 per 3,000 miles

Tom saves $107.50 per year using AMSOIL synthetic
motor oil and Ea Filters, while also saving the time and
work associated with changing oil an additional 7 more times per year.

He spends more time (and money) on doing what he likes and is a very happy guy .
