Re-Formulated XL Line Results in Reduced Cost,
Increased Profits for Oil Change Professionals

As of July 1, 2002, AMSOIL INC. of Superior, Wisconsin, re-formulated its XL line of synthetic motor oils to meet API SL/ILSAC GF-3 certification standards with the use of Synthetic Group III base oils.

AMSOIL's exclusive additive chemistry and Group III base oil combination provides the quality and protection needed for 7500 mile drain intervals. The new formulation offers motorists improved protection of emissions control systems and extended service life. According to Alan Amatuzio, VP-Manufacturing, "These API SL/GF-3 oils provide better high temperature deposit control and lower oil consumption than basic petroleum oils."

Included in the AMSOIL XL motor oil line up is the 5W-20 viscosity grade, enabling oil change professionals to offer a high quality synthetic that meets the warranty requirements of Ford and Honda, the two current companies recommending this viscosity grade. This oil minimizes friction and provides superior wear protection throughout its extended service life of 7500 miles or six months, whichever comes first.

The new oils also cost less than previous XL products thereby increasing the profits of oil change professionals by $.80 per gallon. The rest of the AMSOIL synthetic motor oil line continues to use PAO based oils in their formulations. XL is available in a full range of package sizes from quarts to drums in today's three leading viscosities, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30.
