Oil Color, Lubrication Ability and Contamination Level
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants are designed and engineered for extended drain interval service. The color the AMSOIL on your dipstick (or any oil for that matter) has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the oil is suitable for continued use or if it should be drained and replaced. Use the recommended change intervals specified by AMSOIL.
It is a common misconception that an oil's color is an indication of how dirty it is. This is absolutely NOT TRUE. The color of an does not have any bearing on its lubrication ability. Most, especially diesel engine oil will turn black in the first few hours of operation due to contaminates generated by the combustion process and soot particles. The only way to accurately determine an oil's lubricating value or contamination level is through (spectrographic) analysis. Analysis is common practice used regularly in commercial, industrial and fleet operations and can also be used for passenger cars, light trucks or any other application. In addition analysis will also determine the exact pars per million (ppm) of wear metals in your oil which provides an indication of any abnormal wear or specific components that need mechanical inspection in addition to checking for any fuel, water or glycol contamination. *At the end of this section you will find a listing of what analysis testing checks for.
The useful life of an engine lubricant is dependent on several factors such as the quality, type of fuel, equipment condition, type and operating environment of the equipment and, most important, the type of filtration used. The filtration system and the oil are vital tools for preserving engine life. A highly efficient filter is essential to protect an engine by removing both liquid abrasive contaminants held in suspension by a high quality premium lubricant such as AMSOIL. When using AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants for extended drain intervals,the AMSOIL Ea filter must be changed at 25,000 miles. The AMSOIL Super Duty Filter must be changed at 12,500 miles or 6 months for gas engines and 7,500-10,000 miles or 6 months for diesel engines, such as the Ford Powerstroke, Dodge Cummins or Chevy Duramax, or as analysis indicates. The AMSOIL Ea filter must be changed at 25,000 miles.
If the AMSOIL Dual-Gard or Dual-Remote By-Pass Filtration Systems are used then the AMSOIL Super Duty full flow engine oil filter must be changed at the same intervals as specified above and the by-pass filter(s) changed as indicated by oil analysis results. The oil does not need to be changed when using by-pass filtration unless analysis testing indicates it is necessary.
It is not uncommon to get several hundred thousand or more miles on the AMSOIL when using by-pass filtration. A Mack Dealership recently performed a teardown inspection on a 1990 Mack E7-400 diesel engine with 630,000 miles total and 409,000 miles without an oil change and its parts were examined by an engine rater from a major oil additive raw materials manufacturer and supplier. The engine showed light to moderate wear throughout, just as an engine in similar service and lubricated with conventional oil changed at 15,000-20,000- mile intervals (as is common with over-the-road semi-trucks) would show. In fact, according to the engine rater the parts examined- cylinder liners, pistons, rings, bearings, valve train components- could have been put right back in the engine and would have continued to provide the good, dependable service they had provided all along- after 409,000 miles without an oil change! If you would like the full detailed report and photographs of this teardown inspection please e-mail us your address and we will drop it in the mail.
