Synthetic oil outperforms conventional motor oils in cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, marine outboard motors and even lawn mowers—anything that has an engine. Synthetic oils are engineered from chemical compounds. But not all synthetic oils are created equal. Each manufacturer of synthetic oil, including AMSOIL, has its own formulations. Blended oils Conventional petroleum products can be blended with synthetic oils to improve performance in your vehicle and cut down on sludge and generally improve performance. This is less expensive than 100% synthetic oils but blends are usually not as effective for preventing wear and the build-up of residue, and do not […]

Your choice of motor oil will dictate if your vehicle will continue providing top performance for the longest period of time possible. By and large, you get superior performance when synthetic oil is used in all of your vehicles. This includes cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles and other specialty vehicles. While some people might not understand the term synthetic oil, they should know that it is regarded as being the superior choice under most circumstances. Components Conventional motor oil is mineral in content and refined from crude oil. Thick conventional oil breaks down faster compared to synthetic oils. This can result in the […]

What is the difference between a semi-synthetic motor oil and a synthetic motor oil? A mineral oil, or conventional motor oil, is an oil that is refined or extracted through other means from crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a great number of differing hydrocarbon structures, each having their own characteristics—some of which are not helpful for lubrication and considered contaminants. For example, mineral oils contain wax that needs to be minimized or removed. Wax works great in candles but not in a motor oil. The objective in refining is to remove these contaminants and separate the hydrocarbon structures […]

Environmental sustainability has become a worldwide concern. There are both social and economic elements attached to sustainability initiatives, but the principal intent is to reduce or eliminate the continued degradation of critical global resources like air and water. To this end, responsible manufacturers have adjusted formulations and created new “greener” products. In many cases, the alternative solutions have performed better and cost less than the original products. In the automotive industry, there have been substantial improvements to both vehicles and supporting merchandise, but experts continue to cite automotive and heavy equipment products among the most destructive to our environment. AMSOIL’s […]
