Discover why AMSOIL is the Best synthetic oil for all applications.Learn how to increase performance and save money using AMSOIL Synthetic oil and lubricants.
This site offers a comprehensive guide to synthetic oil and their applications for cars, trucks and motorcycles. I have found through my personal experiences with synthetic lubricants that once you use them in your vehicles you will not use petroleum based lubricants again. I use synthetic lubricants in my vehicles where an application exists whether it is synthetic oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, synthetic grease or even synthetic brake fluid. Every year the costs of new or used vehicles continue to rise and it pays to use the best synthetic oil in your engine to protect your investment. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision on which synthetic oil is best for your vehicle and how to keep it running longer.

AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor oils.
Service Life AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:
• Normal Service(3) – Up to 35,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • Severe Service(4) – Up to 17,500 miles or one year, whichever comes first. • Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals). • In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.
*OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer.
(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Turbo or supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.
AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea full-flow oil filters.

Increase Fuel Economy and Reduce Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
Industry tests have shown improved fuel economy of 2 - 5% in vehicles using synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customer testimonials tell of even greater savings. If all cars in America used AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and drive train fluids, we would save enough fuel to drive to the sun and back 165 to 420 times over.* (Click HERE For Documentation)
But there is another way to reduce oil usage. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are designed for extended drain intervals. Fewer oil changes means less oil used.
Keep America on the road with AMSOIL, the original synthetic motor oil.
Messages on the importance of being “green” and erasing our carbon footprints are everywhere these days. Consumers are becoming increasingly more conscious about how the purchasing decisions they make impact the environment. On the other hand, worries over rising costs of everyday purchases (fuel, groceries, etc.) have consumers scrambling to find a product they can feel good about that won’t break the bank. Enter AMSOIL.
Since the introduction of the world’s first synthetic motor oil, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have been setting new standards for motor oil quality. They are specially designed to protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer, reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution. From the beginning, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have outperformed conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts.
AMSOIL INC. has been dedicated to helping reduce negative impacts on the environment. AMSOIL was the first to recommend 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals. By safely extending drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants dramatically cut the amount of oil consumed and emissions produced. This is not a new fad that AMSOIL is jumping on board with; it is the way AMSOIL has always operated.
In addition to the extended drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are specially designed to protect engine components, extending the life of the engine and reducing the need for replacing engine parts. They are also thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off), preventing sludge deposits and keeping engines clean. Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants has also been proven to increase fuel economy. This reduces dependency on foreign oil and overall fuel consumption. The resulting improvement in fuel efficiency and reduction of emission levels contribute to the conservations of natural resources and protection of the atmosphere.
AMSOIL INC. doesn’t just leave the responsibilities of environmental protection to the products; the company itself is diligent in making efforts to keeping the earth clean. AMSOIL recycles virtually 100 percent of the corrugated trays and packaging boxes that come into its facilities, equaling several tons of recycled cardboard each month. All used steel drums and all “clean” plastic bottles are also recycled.
AMSOIL INC. is determined to continue to set the bar high for the lubrication industry across the board, including with regards to environmental responsibilities. Our long-standing quality products lead the way to a greener, healthier planet for all.

Quality Takes Priority at AMSOIL
“While the competition has been formulating their oils down to a price, we have been formulating ours up to the highest performance standards.” - Al Amatuzio, President and CEO, AMSOIL INC.
The AMSOIL chemical laboratory plays an important role in the daily operations at AMSOIL headquarters. The lab fulfills tech service requests, performs competitor testing and comparisons,and works on the research and development of products at AMSOIL. One of the most important jobs at the lab is quality control. AMSOIL is known for formulating high-quality products and the AMSOIL chemists ensure that everything coming in and going out meets AMSOIL standards. How do they do it?
“We test everything,” said Chief Chemist Mike Rodeghiero.
Rodeghiero oversees quality control in the lab, and to say they test everything is not an overstatement.
Quality control at AMSOIL begins long before blending begins. Maintaining a clean and controlled working environment is also a large part of insuring quality products, but testing ensures perfection.
“All of our raw materials, packaging, labels, drums – all of it gets tested,” said Rodeghiero.
It is obviously important to test raw materials for quality, contaminants and other reasons, but packaging?
“Our bottles are more rigid and durable for shipping purposes,” said Rodeghiero.
Notice how some competitors’ bottles feel thin and puncture easily. AMSOIL bottles are more dense and always square, making them more durable and identifiable. Each tanker that transports AMSOIL products is also tested by the lab to insure that water and other contaminants are thoroughly removed and will not jeopardize the integrity of the products.
As for oil, the blenders blend it, the lab tests it against all AMSOIL quality parameters, and corrections are made if necessary. Products undergo IR scans, viscosity tests, and tests for water, color and clarity. Quality control tests are performed on everything AMSOIL produces, every day. Rodeghiero said AMSOIL products pass quality control testing the first time 98 to 99 percent of the time.
“We see the product three times before Dealers see it,” said Rodeghiero.
During the blending of base stocks and additives, two 16-ounce samples are drawn from each batch and examined by the blenders. If anything is visibly wrong with the oil, the process is stopped and tests are conducted on blending equipment. If the samples pass this visual examination they are sent on to the chemists.
Next, chemists test both samples in the lab. This testing is conducted to make sure each batch of oil meets AMSOIL specifications, which are considerably tighter than standards set for most other lubricant manufacturers.
After a batch has been properly blended, it is sent to packaging. Here the lubricant is bottled and then boxed or put into drums and totes. At this stage, the lab draws another set of samples which will be tested by the chemists. If this testing reveals any inconsistencies, the batch is restarted from the beginning. If it passes this second series of tests, the chemists and blenders sign off on a production board. This helps to keep track of each batch produced and any inconsistencies that were reported.
If any problems with products were ever to occur after shipping, AMSOIL has a system for tracking which batch the product originated from. Each product contains a batch code on its packaging that can be traced to which batch the product came from, when it was produced and who worked on it.
AMSOIL has earned a staunch reputation for producing the highest quality synthetic lubricants and for demanding the best raw materials.
“Our suppliers know that we won’t accept anything but their best materials,” said Rodeghiero.
Raw materials are inspected upon delivery and if they don’t make the grade, they’re sent back immediately. Incoming chemicals and additives are quarantined until they successfully complete the same series of tests that finished AMSOIL products receive.
Why is quality control so important to AMSOIL? The simple answer is that quality control insures quality products. Customers can be sure that every quart, gallon, drum and tote of product that leaves the AMSOIL manufacturing plant is consistent with AMSOIL specifications and will perform as expected. Many other lubricant manufacturers whose quality standards do not match those of AMSOIL cannot make these claims. In fact, regular studies of motor oils with the same brand name labels, but produced and bottled in different locations, revealed that consistency can vary considerably by location. Many national brands are blended and packaged at different contracted oil companies around the country. They depend on someone else to do their quality control. Bottles of motor oil with the same brand name purchased on opposite ends of the country had different chemical properties and were even visibly a different color. These oils could not be expected to perform the same. The only thing similar is the label.
The rigorous testing and strive for perfection demonstrated by the AMSOIL chemical lab is a testament to what the company’s founder believes in and a big reason why AMSOIL is The First In Synthetics.
