Green Benefits of

The environmental benefits of AMSOIL extended drain synthetic motor oils are many and well known. The reduced packaging waste, significantly less oil to re-cycle, improved fuel economy and cleaner operations resulting in reduced emissions are all valuable benefits that AMSOIL brings to passenger car owners. It can legitimately be claimed that AMSOIL was the first environmentally friendly motor oil.

 

Less well known but equally significant are the benefits of Ea Filters. AMSOIL has a great environmental story here, too. The extended service life of AMSOIL oil and air filters reduces landfill waste, groundwater contamination and steel production for canisters. The lower maintenance costs result in financial savings as well. To the eye, the AMSOIL Ea Filter line looks blue, but it’s also green. 

 

Why Don’t Automakers Use Synthetics in Production Vehicles:

 

Okay. Synthetics are great. The real question is: Why doesn’t everybody use them? Automakers don’t use synthetics in production vehicles (except as where needed to prevent concerns during the warranty period) for at least two reasons. Synthetic motor oil significantly reduces internal engine, transmission and axle wear when compared to petroleum oil. Independent ASTM testing proves this fact.  Reduced wear translates into increased longevity of your vehicle which results in your being able to keep your vehicle longer with less change of wear related concerns. Additionally, it is our opinion, that if factory oil changes were specified as 25,000 mile/1-year, as AMSOIL offers, the petroleum oil companies would sell approximately 8 times less oil than with the 3000 mile oil change. Sure, they all offer a synthetic or semi-synthetic now, but it is only a small percentage of total oil sales volume. By using AMSOIL Synthetic Motor oil people can reduce the amount of oil they use by as much as 80%, not to mention saving time and money in the process.

 

Many of the same oil companies that recommend 3000 mile oil changes in the U.S. also offer and recommend 12,000-18,000 mile oil changes in Europe, and have been for many years and have plans for increasing that to nearly 30,000 mile oil changes in the future. The technology is available yet  AMSOIL is the only one to offer a superior extended drain synthetic oil that far exceeds the performance specifications of any other type and brand of oil and back it with their own warranty.
