The Measurable Benefits of AMSOIL Oil
AMSOIL performs the ASTM D4172 Four-Ball Wear Test and the DIN 51581 NOACK Volatility Test on a regular basis to show that AMSOIL synthetic lubricants outperform rival synthetic and petroleum motor oils. The NOACK Volatility Test was the first to be used as a performance indicator by AMSOIL. When the Four-Ball Wear Test and the NOACK Volatility Test are combined, a visual representation of how AMSOIL motor lubricants compare to the competition is given.
Other important features of AMSOIL motor oils, on the other hand, are more difficult to quantify and graph. When it comes to additives, AMSOIL makes no compromises, selecting the most robust and long-lasting materials available. AMSOIL motor oils are reasonably stable, provide long-term performance against varnish and sludge, maintain essential engine components clean and deposit-free, and resist the negative effects of rust, corrosion, and foaming.
AMSOIL employs the most effective shear-stable viscosity index improvers on the market. Top grade VI improvers are critical to AMSOIL motor oil's prolonged drain capabilities, ensuring that the oil retains its protective viscosity over long drain intervals. AMSOIL motor oils outperform in terms of high temperature/high shear viscosity, withstanding shearing pressures that cause traditional oils to thin out and lose viscosity. Oils with low shear stability lose viscosity fast, making them less effective in preventing metal-to-metal contact and wear, especially at high temperatures.
High TBN
AMSOIL motor oil also contains a high amount of TBN, which neutralizes acids and prevents corrosion, rust, and other sludge and varnish issues. Rust control is especially important for engines that are used often for short trips and for engines that are stored.
Detergents and Dispersants
Detergents and dispersants aid in the prevention of harmful sludge and varnish buildup. Detergents and dispersants keep combustion by-products distributed inside the crankcase until they are collected by the oil filter, preventing them from combining to form larger, more harmful particles. AMSOIL's top-tier detergent/dispersant additives keep engines clean and free of deposits for extended drain periods.
Clear Burning Formulation
AMSOIL motor oils are intended to burn as cleanly as possible, eliminating ring sticking and breaking, pinging, engine knock, and other problems that influence engine performance. For any further information, please talk to our AMSOIL experts.
Anti-Foam Additives
Foam resistance in AMSOIL motor oils guards against metal-to-metal contact and damage caused by frothy lubricants. AMSOIL motor oils are made with only the highest-quality base stocks and additives to extend drain intervals while maintaining performance. They also offer long-term wear protection and fuel efficiency, keep engines clean and deposit-free, and protect against rust and corrosion.
