Why Choose Synthetics
Understanding Synthetic Motor Oil and Its Benefits
Synthetic motor oils have revolutionized engine protection and performance. Unlike conventional oils distilled from crude oil, synthetic oils are engineered in laboratories, allowing for precise molecular structures that enhance lubrication and protection.
What is Synthetic Motor Oil?
Synthetic motor oil is formulated from chemically modified base oils, designed to provide superior lubrication compared to conventional oils. This engineering process results in lubricants that perform consistently across various temperatures and operating conditions.
Advantages of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils
Superior Wear Protection: AMSOIL synthetic lubricants deliver wear protection, engine cleanliness, and fuel efficiency that conventional oils simply can't match.
Enhanced Engine Cleanliness: These oils resist sludge and deposit formation, ensuring engines remain clean and operate efficiently.
Improved Fuel Efficiency: By reducing friction, AMSOIL synthetic oils contribute to better fuel economy, saving drivers money over time.
Extended Drain Intervals: The stability and resistance to oxidation of AMSOIL synthetic oils allow for longer periods between oil changes, offering convenience and cost savings.
Environmental Benefits
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are designed to reduce emissions, last longer, and reduce fuel consumption—all features that help prevent pollution. They resist volatilization (burn-off) better than conventional oils, which cuts tailpipe emissions. Extended-drain AMSOIL synthetic oils generate less waste oil and packaging waste since motorists use less oil throughout the year.

By selecting the AMSOIL synthetic motor oil that aligns with your vehicle's needs and adhering to these usage guidelines, you can ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Making the Switch to Synthetic Oil
Transitioning from conventional to synthetic oil is straightforward. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are compatible with conventional oils, allowing for easy switching without flushing the engine. However, performing an engine flush can remove accumulated deposits and ensure the engine is clean before adding synthetic oil.
Conclusion
Choosing AMSOIL synthetic motor oil offers numerous benefits, including superior protection, enhanced performance, and environmental advantages. By understanding these benefits, you can make informed decisions that contribute to the longevity and efficiency of your vehicle.
