0w-20 Synthetic Oil

Many vehicle manufacturers, including Ford, Honda, Daimler-Chrylser and Toyota, are now recommending
fuel efficient 0W-20 or 5W-20 motor oils in many of the
vehicles they produce, increasing demand for these oils. AMSOIL currently offers its XL 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLM) in this viscosity range, which is recommended
for 7,500 miles or six months, or longer where stated by vehicle manufacturers or indicated by electronic oil life monitoring systems. To meet the growing demand, AMSOIL has introduced a new 25,000-mile 0W-20 synthetic motor oil. A longer drain alternative to XL 5W-20 and an excellent complement to Synthetic 5W-30 (ASL) and Synthetic 10W-30 (ATM) in the group of AMSOIL 25,000-mile oils, new AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil provides maximum protection
in a light viscosity.

Product Description

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM) delivers extraordinary lubrication for automotive gasoline
engines. Formulated with the industry’s premier synthetic
technology and additives in a light viscosity formulation,
it withstands high temperatures and delivers outstanding fuel economy and cold temperature performance.

Extends Drain Intervals

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. It is recommended for 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in normal service and 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, in severe service. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system are extremely stable, resist-delivers the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste-oil disposal costs.

Maximizes Fuel Economy

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is designed to
maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy.
Its light viscosity properties reduce drag, while its uniform
molecular structure helps it lower friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency.

Protects Against Wear

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is a shear stable formulation with a high viscosity index. It provides excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces
and contains robust anti-wear additives for the best possible engine protection. Reduces Oil Consumption and EmissionsVolatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing high oil consumption and emissions. AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil has a very low volatility rate, controlling volatility-related oil consumption and emissions.
 

Excels in Extreme Temperatures

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil resists thermal
breakdown better than conventional oils. It is heavily fortified with detergent and dispersant additives to prevent
sludge deposits and keep engines clean. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL ASM contains no wax. It
stays fluid down to -65°F for improved cold temperature
oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting.

P.I. Injector Spray

Before treatment	After treatment

 Today’s fuels vary in quality and additive treat levels from the refinery. Although a certain level of detergent additive is required by law to be formulated into gasoline, cost restrictions cause refineries to use low quality additives in the lowest additive concentration (LAC), a level insufficient to prevent deposit accumulation. Deposits accumulate on fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers within just a few thousand miles, disrupting spray patterns, affecting electronic sensors and causing a multitude of problems.

Fuel system deposits result in the following:
• Lost fuel economy
• Lost power and poor throttle response
• Failed emission tests
• Poor drivability - surging, hesitation, stalling, rough idle
• Engine knocking (pinging) and rap
• Difficult starts

The newly formulated AMSOIL PI Performance Improver is the most potent gasoline additive available today. As a concentrated detergent, it is unsurpassed in cleaning combustion chamber deposits, intake valve deposits and port fuel injector deposits, eliminating the
need for expensive fuel injector cleaning procedures.
It is ideal for use prior to emissions inspections, and it helps maintain peak engine efficiency, fuel economy, power and drivability in newer low mileage engines. In engines with accumulated deposits, testing showed

AMSOIL PI provided the following clean-up benefits after only one tank of gasoline:
• Improves fuel mileage an average of 2.3%
and up to 5.7%
• Reduced emissions
• hydrocarbons (HC) up to 15%
• carbon monoxide (CO) up to 26%
• nitrous oxides (NOx) up to 17%
• Restored power and performance
• Reduced need for costly higher octane fuel
• Reduced noise from carbon rap and pre-ignition
• Better drivability
• Smoother operation

The new PI formulation offers greater potency than the
old formulation and delivers extra benefits, including
increased fuel economy improvements, improved intake valve and combustion chamber cleaning and lower emissions. Because it is recommended every 4,000 miles, rather than with every tank of gas, the new PI formulation is also more convenient to use. Its new smaller neck makes it easier to pour into the tank, and because the flip top has been eliminated, leakage is minimized. Unsurpassed Deposit Clean-up Port fuel injector deposits form after the engine has been shut down and there is no gasoline flowing through the injectors. During this “hot soak” period the injectors heat up and the gasoline remaining in the injectors degrades and forms deposits. This can happen very quickly with the use of poor quality gasoline and short trip driving. Because the clearances within the injectors are extremely tight and injectors must deliver precise amounts of “atomized” fuel, even small amounts of deposits can cause injectors to malfunction.  Fuel flow is reduced and spray patterns are disrupted, decreasing engine efficiency, power and fuel economy, while increasing exhaust emissions.

Bypass Filter System

AMSOIL now offers new by-pass components to ease the installation of the BMK-11 By-Pass Filtration System in three popular diesel engines: the Ford 6.0L Power Stroke™, the Dodge 5.9L Cummins and the General Motors 6.6L Duramax.
Engine compartments are becoming increasingly
cramped, leaving little room for after-market additions and improvements. The BMK-11 is a single remote bypass filter system that fits into much smaller spaces than the AMSOIL Dual-Remote By-Pass System.

The Meaning of It All

If people are holding onto their cars and trucks for longer periods of time, there is a good chance that it is because of finances. In America, the separation between the rich and the poor is growing. The middle class seems to be gradually disappearing.  This means that because new vehicle prices are so high, that people are holding on to their current vehicles longer than before.

Now, more than ever, we need products that are going to make our rides last as long as possible. Have you looked at the price of a used Toyota/Honda/Nissan lately? They are practically priced the same as their new counterparts. The other side of the coin is this: maybe we are at a point in life where downsizing makes no sense either. (Kids, etc.)

That's a good thing for an Amsoil dealer. And for his customers. Because Amsoil holds the answer to at least some of life's problems!

I can't afford to change my car or truck!

Well, that's fine. Convert it over to Amsoil synthetic oil, oil filter, and air filter. You'd be surprised how much new life you can get out of that machine. Chances are, you will also increase your fuel mileage too.  Plus converting over will help your engine to last longer too!

I like my present vehicle!

I'm glad you do. But if you want it to give you years of fine service, you owe it to your vehicle to give it the best lubricant possible. Synthetic lubrication will help your engine run longer because of superior lubrication. Two major problems with mineral, and cheap synthetic oils (albeit they're really not fully synthetic anyway), is that they do not lubricate properly when too hot or too cold. Plus, because of non-uniform molecular structure, they can actually create friction (heat) in the process. Since Amsoil is
