Use of
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, Ea Air Filters and fuel additives
help customers stretch their fuel dollars.
With gasoline and
diesel prices continually climbing and setting record highs,
improved fuel economy has become a top priority for people
and businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy equipment in
their daily operations. In addition to providing superior
protection and performance, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, gear
lubes, transmission fluids, air filters and fuel additives
can have a profound impact on fuel economy.
Synthetic
Lubricants
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, gear lubes and transmission fluids
effectively improve fuel efficiency though reduced friction
(fluid friction and friction between moving parts), superior
thermal and oxidative stability and resistance to volatility.
Fluid Friction
Refined petroleum-based lubricants are composed of irregular
molecules of various sizes. As they slip across each other,
excess friction is created. The vehicle's engine must burn
extra fuel to overcome friction, decreasing fuel economy.
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants on the other hand, contain only
smooth, uniform molecules that easily slip across each other,
reducing internal friction within the lubricant, allowing
fuel to be diverted from the task of overcoming friction to
reaching the drivetrain, decreasing overall fuel consumption.
In addition, AMSOIL
offers lower cold temperature viscosity synthetic motor oils
that further reduce fluid friction and increase fuel economy
in below-normal operating temperatures without sacrificing
protection and performance. AMSOIL
Synthetic 5W-40 Premium Diesel Oil, for example, is recommended
for diesel applications requiring heavier cold temperature
viscosity 15W-40
diesel oils, while AMSOIL
0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline
applications requiring 5W-20
motor oils, and AMSOIL
0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for gasoline
applications requiring 5W-30
and 10W-30
motor oils.
Friction
Between Moving Parts
Oil viscosity plays
a critical role in reducing friction. If viscosity is too
high, it contributes to fluid friction, while an oil with
a viscosity that is too low cannot adequately maintain a complete,
unbroken oil film between engine surfaces. Without this film,
excess friction is created between moving parts, increasing
wear and fuel consumption. The synthetic construction of AMSOIL
synthetic lubricants ensures viscosity remains consistent
due to excellent high temperature/high shear properties, maintaining
an unbroken oil film between engine parts, reducing friction
and decreasing fuel consumption.
Thermal
and Oxidative Stability
Some of the chemicals
in conventional lubricants break down at temperatures within
the normal operating range of many vehicle and equipment components,
coating components with varnish, deposits and sludge and leaving
the oil thick and difficult to pump. This higher viscosity
oil reduces engine and fuel efficiency because components
must expend extra energy, and extra fuel, to do their jobs.
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants contain no volatile contaminants,
making them much more resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown.
Components stay clean, oil viscosity remains constant and
fuel efficiency remains high.
Volatilization
Conventional lubricants are also very susceptible to volatility.
When the oil's lighter molecules volatize during hot operating
conditions, it contributes to further viscosity increase and
reductions in fuel economy. Because AMSOIL synthetic lubricants
contain uniformly sized molecules, they resist volatilization
much better than conventional lubricants, maintain their viscosities
and allow more fuel to be used for vehicle propulsion, improving
fuel economy.
Calculate
the Savings
Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative two to
five percent increase in fuel economy by switching to synthetic
lubricants, while many AMSOIL customers report even larger
gains. According to the most recent data from the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics, the average passenger uses 554
gallons of gasoline per year. At a price of $4 per gallon,
554 gallons of gas costs $2,216. A five percent fuel economy
improvement would save 27.7 gallons of gasoline and yield
$110.80 per year in fuel savings. That's enough to cover the
price of a year's supply of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and
Ea Oil Filters, with money left over.
Imagine a fleet
of class 8 diesel trucks running an average of 120,000 miles
per year at an average 6.5 mpg with diesel fuel at $4.70 a
gallon. Using those numbers, the fleet spends $8,676,923.08
on fuel annually. A five percent fuel economy improvement
would increase the fleet's fuel mileage to 6.825 mpg and reduce
fuel costs to $8,263,736.26. That's a savings of $413,186.82,
enough for 87,912 gallons of fuel.
More Fuel
Savings
In addition to
the fuel savings provided by AMSOIL synthetic lubricants,
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters and fuel additives contribute to further
fuel efficiency gains.
Ea Air
Filters
Incorporating revolutionary nanofiber technology, AMSOIL
Ea Air Filters excel in all three areas critical to filtration
performance: efficiency, capacity and air flow. The increased
air flow contributes to more efficient engine operation, increasing
fuel efficiency by allowing the engine to burn less fuel.
AMSOIL
Ea Air Filters allow more air flow than filters the use
cellulose media alone. Cellulose fibers are larger than nanofibers,
and have larger spaces between fibers, causing contaminants
to load in the depth of the media and plug the air flow path
resulting in higher restriction and less capacity. The synthetic
nanofibers in Ea Filter media have submicron diameters and
small interfiber spaces, which result in more contaminants
being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction.
This all leads to improved fuel efficiency.
Fuel Additives
P.I. Performance
Improver
As a vehicle's engine accumulates miles, its performance suffers
from gasoline fuel-generated deposits that form on the fuel
injectors, intake valves and combustion chamber. One of the
negative effects caused by these deposits is decreased fuel
efficiency. AMSOIL
P.I. Performance Improver is the most potent gasoline
additive available today. As a concentrated detergent, it
is unsurpassed in cleaning combustion chamber, intake valve
and fuel injector deposits, restoring peak engine efficiency,
fuel economy, power and drivability. Tests show P.I. improves
vehicle fuel efficiency by an average of 2.3 percent and up
to 5.7 percent.
Diesel
Concentrate
Like gasoline engines, diesel engines also become less efficient
over time. Fuel injector deposits interrupt spray patterns,
causing poor fuel atomization, incomplete combustion, excessive
emissions and smoke. Tests prove that AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate cleans dirty injectors, improving fuel
economy by up to five percent and restoring horsepower to
like new.
Cetane
Boost
By raising cetane up to seven points, AMSOIL
Cetane Boost effectively improves combustion efficiency
for increased power and performance in all diesel engines,
increasing fuel efficiency up to 2 percent.

AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are formulated to surpass engine test
specifications, offering protection far greater than competing
motor oils for extended drain intervals. Most synthetic oil
manufacturers make no claim to extended drain intervals, deferring
to the maintenance schedule provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers
consumers unprecedented protection and economics.
Another
AMSOIL First
More than 20 years
ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison
tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil
tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed,
and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies
paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company
made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what
AMSOIL had said all along.
THE
NOACK Volatility Test
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 resists high temperature volatization
better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption
and emissions.
