AMSOIL Performance Tests

Compares the performance in laboratory tests and cost-effectiveness of AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil to several passenger-car/light-truck synthetic motor oils widely considered by marketers and consumers to be the best available.

A Las Vegas taxi’s transmission and engine revealed virtually no harmful sludge or wear after 100,000 miles of severe service.

The industry-standard SAE J1376 Fuel Economy Measurement Test (Engineering Type) for Buses and Trucks reveals AMSOIL synthetic lubricants can increase fuel economy in class 8 diesel trucks used in stop-and-go city driving conditions and, in this case, did by 3.15 percent.

AMSOIL HP Marine Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil prevented piston skirt scuffing and cylinder bore scuffing in a 250-hp Evinrude E-TEC marine engine during more than 500 hours of real-world use at the engine’s lean-mix oil setting.

AMSOIL subjected INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil to 50 hours of severe-duty engine testing and two industry-standard ASTM tests to demonstrate that INTERCEPTOR exceeds the performance requirements of high-performance DFI snowmobile engines in severe operating conditions.

AMSOIL submitted the pistons from a Ski-Doo Rotax E-TEC 800R engine to an ASTM-calibrated rater following 3,469 miles of aggressive trail riding to reveal that AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil provided outstanding protection and prevented piston skirt scuffing and ring sticking.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Federal Test Procedure (FTP) confirms AMSOIL Premium API CJ-4 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DEO) improves fuel economy through virtually all driving scenarios compared to conventional 15W-40 diesel oil.

Kurt Orbahn Shear Stability testing (ASTM D-6278) reveals AMSOIL Premium API CJ-4 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DEO) maintains outstanding shear stability, even at 4 percent fuel dilution.

Compared with competing diesel oils, AMSOIL Premium API CJ-4 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DEO) provided superior TBN and viscosity retention over 400 hours of severe-service operation in a refuse hauler fleet employing Navistar DT466 diesel engines, which are notoriously hard on motor oil.

Cold Filter-Plugging Point (CFPP) testing shows AMSOIL Diesel Recovery (DRC) lowers the cold filter-plugging point of diesel fuel more effectively than the competing brand.

Testing completed in compliance with the industry-standard SAE J1321 In-Service Fuel Consumption Test Procedure demonstrates use of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants can increase fuel economy in short- to medium-haul diesel applications and, in this case, did by 6.54 percent.
