What kind of gas mileage can I expect to see?
Many people see anywhere between 3 to 8.25% increases depending driving habits and how many fluids are changed. It is best to not only change the engine, but also change the transmission & differentials over to Amsoil as well. In my own personal vehicle that I tested Amsoil in, I was getting 22 MPG with conventional oils. That was the best I could get driving 60 MPH down a 39 mile stretch of highway with the cruise control on. After I switched the engine to Amsoil 0W30, automatic transmission to Amsoil ATF and rear axle over to Amsoil 75W90, my gas mileage increased all the way to an incredible 26.7 MPG. I was driving at least 80 miles per day at the time. 80 miles per day = 400 miles per week. 400 x 52 = 20,800 miles per year. The Z28 took Premium fuel. Do the math at $4.09/gallon.
Prior to Amsoil (using conventional motor oils)
20,800 / 22 MPG = 945 gallons of fuel per year. 945 x $4.09/gallon = $3,865 per year.
7 oil changes done per year @ $25 = $175 per year.
Total cost for oil changes & fuel: $4,040.
After Amsoil:
20,800 / 26.7 MPG = 779 gallons of fuel per year. 779 x $4.09/gallon = $3.186 per year.
Total fuel savings from Amsoil: $679.
Approximate cost for Amsoil for the 1-year/25,000 mile oil change: $70
Total cost for Amsoil oil change & fuel: $3256
Total saved per year by simply switching to Amsoil: $784.
I don't know about you... but that sounds like Amsoil ends up being free if it's saving you more than you're spending on fuel. Sure, it costs more than regular oil, but regular oil does nothing but wear out engines, eat more fuel. Amsoil is made in the US. By using Amsoil you're supporting American jobs by buying the best oil made in the world, bar none, and that's a proven fact (provided by numerous ASTM results by independent labs.)
How Long Have AMSOIL lubricants been on the market?
AMSOIL introduced the first synthetic motor oil
with an API (American Petroleum Institute) Service Classification
in 1972. Since that time, AMSOIL has varied and expanded its product
line.
What are AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils?
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants are fuel efficient, extended life lubricants
manufactured from select synthetic base stocks and special purpose additives.
These lubricants provide significant improved overall performance benefits
than conventional petroleum oils.
Can AMSOIL Motor Oils be used in any engine?
Certainly. AMSOIL Motor Oils may be used in any mechanically sound
gasoline or diesel fueled engine. Basically, that means they are excellent
for use in any vehicles engine.
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils void the warranty of a new vehicle?
Absolutely not! Manufacturers' warranties are based on the use of oils
meeting specific API Service Classifications; for example: SJ/CF. (AMSOIL
lubricants meet the current API Service requirements and, thus, are
perfectly suited for use in any new vehicle without affecting the validity
of the new vehicle warranty. Please click here for detailed Warranty
Law information that all consumers need to know.
Why don't the auto manufacturers install AMSOIL at the factory?
In a nutshell, the auto manufacturers' and your "friendly"
dealer actually want your vehicle to wearout and have a finite life
within a specific targeted period of time so you have to buy a new one,
or come to the dealer for expensive repairs. AMSOIL Motor Oils, ATF
and gear lubes have been proven for over 25 years and hundreds
of millions of miles to significantly extend the life of a vehicles
engine, transmission, axles, gears and bearings. We bet you find that
hard to believe? Read our complete article The Auto Industry's Best
Kept Secret and peruse the rest of this website and you should have
no doubt in your mind that this is true. The auto manufacturers and
dealerships ARE NOT looking out for
your best interests!
Are AMSOIL Motor Oils All-Season Motor Oils?
Synthetic oils are made to protect and perform better than petroleum
oils at both high and low temperature extremes. That's why every
jet engine in the world is lubricated with synthetic oil.
AMSOIL Motor Oils have extremely low pour points and flow readily at
extremely low temperatures for easier winter starting and reduced engine
wear. At high temperatures, no conventional motor oil can compare
to the overall protection AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils provide. That's
extremely important for today's turbocharged and small, non-turbocharged
engines!
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils increase gas mileage?
Tighter government regulations and increases in engine manufacturers'
demands are calling for more fuel efficient lubricants. AMSOIL Motor
Oils reduce friction and drag better than petroleum oils and other synthetic
oils, resulting in significant fuel economy increases. In a recent 1.2
million mile demonstration, AMSOIL Lubricants showed a 4.5% increase
in gas mileage. Other tests have shown increases as much as 15% under
certain weather and driving conditions. Yet, because every vehicle is
different, as are driving habits and conditions, it is difficult to
accurately project an actual increase.
Are AMSOIL Motor Oils compatible with other motor oils?
Yes, AMSOIL Motor Oils are compatible with all other synthetic or petroleum
motor oils.
Why are AMSOIL Motor Oils capable of extended drain intervals?
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are highly resistant to the destructive
effects of heat, and do not break down like petroleum oils. This means
that AMSOIL Motor Oils can provide much longer drain intervals than
conventional lubricants.
Will AMSOIL Motor Oils decrease oil consumption?
Yes. When used in mechanically sound engines, AMSOIL Motor Oils can
reduce oil consumption. Under test conditions, a reduction of as much
as 42% was demonstrated for prolonged periods. However, this should
not be taken to mean that AMSOIL Motor Oils are "cure-alls"
for engines that consume oil because of mechanical problems.
Is there a recommended procedure for changing to AMSOIL Motor Oils?
There are no special requirements. However in older vehicles or those
with high mileage, it may be advisable to use AMSOIL Engine Flush first.
This will ensure that the engine is clean and free of any accumulated
contaminants which might have an effect on the service life of AMSOIL
Motor Oils. In all cases, it is good judgement to install a new AMSOIL
Super Duty Full-Flow Oil Filter (SDF) every time you change oil.
Should Oil Additives or After Market Products be added to AMSOIL
Motor Oils?
Absolutely not. They are not necessary and are extremely detrimental!
AMSOIL Motor Oils are properly formulated under the strictest
Quality Control procedure to provide superior lubrication performance.
