Introduction: Power and Fuel Economy

 Conventional motor oils tend to “boil off” in high temperatures. Vaporized oils grow thick and heavy. They circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear.Of course, oil consumption skyrockets as oil boils off. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils’ superior vaporization resistance keeps fuel economy high, oil circulation efficient, and oil consumption, emissions, and most importantly, engine wear, to a minimum. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils allow engines to run smoother and easier, producing more power and performance and better fuel economy.

NOACK: Maximize Fuel Economy, Reduce Emissions

The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions.  AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption and emissions.  

Oil volatility is the measure of how susceptible oil is to boil-off under high heat conditions. Petroleum oils experience significant boil-off during high temperature engine operation and subsequently higher oil consumption. Evaporation loss contributes to damaging deposits, sticky piston rings and oil blow-by, resulting in a drag on performance and reduced engine life. Synthetic oils are far more impervious to this kind of degradation. The lower volatility of synthetics is another reason they are also better for the environment than conventional products.

SAE Test - Result: 8.2% Savings  in Big Trucks

The Society of Automotive Engineers has devised a test to measure fuel consumption and fuel economy. In a demonstration involving over-the-road trucks an improvement of 8.2% was achieved by switching from conventional lubes to synthetic lubricants (in this case AMSOIL products) in the drivetrain and engine.

Here's an interesting, undisputed fact. By every one of these measures premium synthetic motor oils are superior to conventional petroleum motor oils. This truth is never even questioned by industry professionals.

So why, one might ask, isn't everyone using synthetic motor oils and lubes? Here's one possible reason. To divert attention away from the performance measures above the major oil companies focus on one other measure: price.  Read the complete study here

Newly Reformulated AMSOIL P.I. Gasoline Additive

Newly reformulated AMSOIL P.I. (Performance Improver) provides unsurpassed fuel economy and performance. Today’s fuels vary in quality and additive treat levels. Although a certain level of detergent additive is required by law to be formulated into gasoline, cost restrictions cause refineries to use low quality additives in the lowest additive concentration (LAC), a level insufficient to prevent deposit accumulation. As a result, deposits accumulate on fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers, often within just a few thousand miles, disrupting spray patterns, affecting electronic sensors and causing a multitude of problems.

The newly formulated AMSOIL P.I. Performance Improver is the most potent gasoline additive available today. As a

concentrated detergent, it is unsurpassed in cleaning combustion chamber deposits, intake valve deposits and

port fuel injector deposits, eliminating the need for expensive fuel injector cleaning procedures. The product is ideal for use prior to emissions inspections. It also helps maintain peak engine efficiency, fuel economy, power and drivability in newer low mileage engines. In engines with accumulated deposits, testing

showed AMSOIL P.I. provided the following clean-up benefits after only one tank of gasoline:

• Improves fuel mileage an average of 2.3% and up to 5.7%

• Reduced emissions ~ hydrocarbons (HC) up to 15% ~ carbon monoxide (CO) up to 26% ~ nitrous oxides (NOx) up to 17%

• Restored power and performance

• Reduced need for costly higher octane fuel

• Reduced noise from carbon rap and pre-ignition

• Better drivability

• Smoother operation

Usage Recommendations: Treat one full tank of gas every 4,000 miles or 100 hours of service. One bottle treats 20 gallons of gas. Do not treat and run more than 40 gallons of gas per treatment. P.I. helps pass emissions tests. Treat gas, run that tank and fill up again prior to test. Safe for use with catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, oxygenated gas and 10% ethanol blended gas. Ideally, P.I. should be poured into the tank prior to filling it up with gas, but it will mix thoroughly when added after fill-up through normal agitation from driving.
