Praises AMSOIL!

Publishing Company, Inc.
In the March 2003 issue of
Lubes 'n' Greases,
Automotive Editor David McFall wrote an
in-depth article on the subject of extended oil drain intervals and
touted AMSOIL as a safe, cost-effective and environmentally preferred
choice. He praised AMSOIL for their commitment to excellence and labeled
AMSOIL "unshackled"
for never conforming to industry norms and standards.

Pennzoil, Quaker State, Castrol and more!
AMSOIL 10W-30 Motor Oil and ten
competing oils were subjected to a series of tests. AMSOIL
outperformed all the competitors in nearly every test! See the
impressive test results!

AMSOIL Outperforms Mobil 1
|
|
 |
 |
|
AMSOIL, Inc. set out to examine the specifics of the overly
broad "Nothing Outperforms . . . " Mobil claim. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil (ASL) and Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil were analyzed in five key
bench tests measuring motor oil performance:
(Please see our Technical
Properties page for complete descriptions of the following tests.)
|
Significance
|
|
Determines the wear protection properties of a lubricant by
measuring the wear scars produced by four metal balls in sliding contact
under test parameters. The smaller the wear scar, the better the protection.
|
Results
|
|
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil completed the Four Ball Wear Test
producing a wear scar 2/3 the size of Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil:
|
|
|
 
Significance
|
|
Determines the evaporation loss of lubricants
in high-temperature service. |
Results
|
|
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lost an extremely low 4.9 percent of
its original weight during high-temperature service, while Mobil 1
SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil lost 9.17 percent of its original weight:
|
|
|
Significance
|
|
Determines the lowest temperatures at which a
flame will cause lubricant vapors to ignite (flash point) and sustain
burning for five seconds (fire point). Lubricants with higher flash and
fire point exhibit more stable volatility characteristics. |
Results
|
|
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has higher flash and fire points than
Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil:
|
|
|
Significance
|
|
Determines the lowest temperature at which a
lubricant flows. The lower the pour point, the better protection it
provides in cold weather. |
Results
|
|
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has a lower pour point than Mobil 1
SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil:
|
|
|
Significance
|
|
Total Base Number (TBN) is the measurement of a
lubricant's reserve alkalinity. The higher a motor oil's TBN, the more
effective it is in handling contaminants and reducing the corrosive
effects of acids for an extended period of time. |
Results
|
|
AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil's TBN is almost 50% higher than that
of Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil:
