Why are AMSOIL engine oils capable of extended drain intervals?

AMSOIL engine oils are formulated using premium synthetic base oils, and the highest-quality additives, that provide extended-drain capabilities. Formulated with high-quality additives, AMSOIL engine oils achieve greater cleaning powers, while providing better equipment protection over longer oil drain intervals. The unique synthetic formulation and robust TBN retention of AMSOIL synthetic engine oils work to resist oxidation and neutralize the acids that shorten the service life of other oils. Its characteristic resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off) helps reduce oil consumption, while maintaining viscosity over longer periods of time than other oils.

 The importance of good-quality oil in your engine cannot be overstated. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils consistently outperform conventional and other synthetic oils in virtually every category of performance, including wear protection, extreme high and low temperature performance, foam control, viscosity retention, rust and corrosion protection, volatility and fuel economy. While other brands may have good performance in some of these areas, AMSOIL consistently performs at the top in every category. Drivers can have confidence knowing that AMSOIL motor oils provide maximum performance and protection.

Lower-Viscosity Oils Gain Market Share

Kline and Co. has revealed recent shifts in motor oil viscosity demand. While the 5W-30 viscosity comprised 51 percent of total U.S. demand in 2009, 5W-20 is quickly gaining ground. “We do see 5W-20 demand rising significantly from where it was in 2006, to just under 20 percent of the total volume,” said Kline Project Manager George Morvey. “This is really due to the Ford factory and service fi ll, the Honda factory and service fill,  and to some extent Toyota. We do see demand for the 10W-30 and 10W-40 shifting and favoring the 5Ws.”

Kline also expects strong growth ahead for 0W oils. “We do see them poised for growth beginning in 2010, as Toyota and Honda shift their factory and service fill requirements away from 5Ws to 0Ws to meet stricter fuel economy regulations,”  said Morvey. “That will certainly be something to watch, and certainly offer opportunities for suppliers and installers.”

Strong Demand for Synthetics

Although overall U.S. lubricant consumption has declined since 2006, demand for synthetic lubricants continues growing. While synthetic motor oil represented 5 percent of the motor oil market in 2005, it now accounts for 7-9 percent. Leading industry research company The Freedonia Group Inc. projects 7.3 percent annual growth for sales of synthetic motor oil through 2013 and 6.3 percent growth for synthetic hydraulic and transmission fluids. A study by Kline & Co., meanwhile, indicates synthetics’ share of the global lubricants market will hit 12.5 percent by 2019.

Oil Additives



Well-formulated motor oils contain a precise blend of high-quality base stocks and additives.  Adding an aftermarket oil additive can upset this balance and potentially degrade performance.  In addition, even a good-quality oil additive cannot dramatically improve an oil formulated with a poor-quality base stock. Aftermarket oil additives are not needed or recommended with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils.  AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are formulated with premium synthetic base stocks and the optimum levels of anti-wear additives for maximum protection and performance.

Benefits of Synthetic Oils


• Improved low temperature characteristics for faster starting and quicker flow to critical parts

• Improved stability through a wide range of temperatures

• Improved fuel economy (.4-.6 MPG) due to reduced internal engine friction and windage (the drag produced by parts moving through the oil bath)

• Emerging and future vehicle emissions regulatory requirements partly depend on the advantages of these high technology lubricants to achieve certification standards.

• Reduced engine deposits
