What is Synthetic Motor Oil

6-5-2008

The most frequent question that comes into one’s mind as far as synthetic lubricants are concerned is “What is synthetic motor oil?” In its basic sense, the synthetic motor oil is considered a substitute for conventional motor oils. However, if you are not looking for the average synthetic motor oil, Amsoil is the only alternative in the field of synthetic lubrication.  
Amsoil developed the best synthetic motor oil in 1972 and it was the first synthetic motor oil to meet the qualitative standards imposed by the American Petroleum Institute. The need of a new, better and highly efficient lubricant for both gasoline and diesel engines materialized itself 35 years ago, when Al Amatuzio, a highly-skilled jet fighter pilot, and his team of distinguished scientists came up with a 100% synthetically designed formula that would revolutionize the concept of synthetic motor oil. Along the years Amsoil has refined and perfected this initial formula in order to create what is known nowadays as the best synthetic motor oil on the market.
What sets the Amsoil synthetic motor oil apart from any other conventional or synthetic lubricants is its unique ability to preserve its outstanding lubricating properties even in the most severe conditions.

 

Tests have revealed that the naturally high viscosity index of this lubricant synthetic oil offers the most remarkable engine protection in extreme temperatures and environments while preventing engine malfunctioning.
Moreover, the uniquely formulated Amsoil synthetic motor oil provides the best protection against all wear agents, eliminates oxidation, rust and corrosion factors and significantly reduces emissions. Its chemically and thermally stable formula not only prevents high temperature volatility, but it also ensures cold temperature startup and outstanding engine functioning irrespective of driving conditions.
It is a widely acknowledged fact that the Amsoil synthetic motor oil resists longer in service than any other lubricant which contributes to the reduction of maintenance costs, waste and environmental degradation.
Consistent with the Amsoil qualitative standards, all Amsoil products, including the best synthetic motor oil, Amsoil synthetic greases, Amsoil gear lube or Amsoil oil filters are especially designed to minimize oil consumption and, at the same time, maximize fuel economy.
For more than three decades customers and their needs have been considered the very centre of the Amsoil philosophy. By way of consequence Amsoil has invested a lot of time and capital in product research and testing in an effort to ensure that all its synthetically designed and highly lubricating products offer the best protection, reliability and performance in the most challenging conditions.
