Synthetic lubricants have been around since the 1930’s when they were developed by Standard Oil Company. The Germans used synthetic oils in their equipment during WWII. Synthetics have been available for passenger cars since the early 70’s when A.J. Amatuzio developed the first synthetic motor oil that meet the API qualifications for automotive use.
Then why are you still using conventional motor oil?
Understanding why using a quality synthetic motor oil like AMSOIL will help your cars and trucks perform better, last longer and save you money through better fuel economy and longer engine life.
Check out this video that demonstrates the cold flow properties of AMSOIL vs a leading conventional motor oil.
Most engine wear occurs at startup. Cold temperatures can render oil so thick it cannot flow through narrow passageways to protect critical components, increasing wear. The paraffins in conventional oil only worsen the problem. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils contain no paraffin, remaining fluid in frigid winter temperatures (down to -63°F) for easier starting, improved oil flow and excellent bearing protection. Their unique synthetic formulations allow them to flow in extreme cold and maintain high film strength in extreme heat for outstanding all-season protection.
Even if you don’t live in an extreme cold weather environment the faster your oil can reach critical moving parts of the engine the less wear over time that will occur. Even parts of Florida, Texas and other southern states see temperatures below freezing.
Reduce wear by switching to synthetic oil.
