Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil (ASM)Many vehicle manufacturers, including Ford, Honda, DaimlerChrysler and Toyota, are now recommending fuel efficient 0W-20 and 5W-20 motor oils in many of the vehicles they produce. AMSOIL currently offers its XL 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLM) in this viscosity range, but to further meet the growing demand, AMSOIL has introduced new 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASM). A longer drain alternative to XL 5W-20, Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil provides maximum protection and outstanding fuel efficiency for extended drain intervals of 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.

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil 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. 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.• Low Volatility• Excellent protection in temperature extremes• Up to 25,000-mile drain intervals• Outstanding fuel efficiency• Superior wear protection• Prevents sludge Applications

AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil is recommended for Honda, Acura, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Ford and all other applications where SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 is required with the followingspecifications:• API SM/CF, SL, SJ…• ILSAC GF-4, 3…• ACEA A1/B1• Ford WSS-M2C930-A• DaimlerChrysler MS-6395N

PI Performance Improver (API) 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 lost fuel economy and power, poor throttle response, failed emission tests, poor drivability, engine knocking (pinging) and rap and 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 to be used once 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.

The automotive industry is not static. With technology constantly improving, vehicle and engine designs change. Today’s vehicle line-up is vastly different than it was 10 years ago, with SUVs and trucks representing the fastest growing segment of the U.S. automotive market. In addition, the industry is moving away from front wheel drive vehicles, and rear wheel drive vehicles are making a strong comeback. The rapidly changing and diversifying vehicle market requires new and improved gear lubricants.

What has changed?

Modern vehicles are designed with more horsepower and torque than in years past, allowing them to haul and tow heavier and heavier loads. This results in higher gear loading and hotter running differentials. In addition, factors such as increased interior space and lower floor boards push axles higher into the vehicle’s body, reducing air flow and increasing heat. The closer proximity of the axles to the exhaust system also effectively raises heat, while more aerodynamic body styles and air dams result in restricted airflow to the differentials.

A number of factors cause SUV, pickup truck and van gears to operate under more severe conditions than over-the-road trucks, contributing to increased temperatures,higher gear loading and shorter drain intervals. First, these vehicles have smaller gears that must handle higher loads per square inch of surface area. Second, their smaller sump sizes (and lower volume of gear lube) cannot dissipate heat as well as larger sump sizes. Third, air flow is significantly reduced compared to over-the-road trucks. Fourth, these vehicles are subject to more frequent stop and go driving conditions and are more susceptible to moisture from condensation due to varying temperature fluctuations.

The AMSOIL Solution

In order to optimize its gear lubes for modern applications, AMSOIL has updated its gear lube formulations.

SEVERE GEAR™ Synthetic Extreme Pressure Gear Lubes (75W-90 & 75W-140)

Specially formulated for severe duty applications, AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR™ Synthetic Extreme Pressure Gear Lubes are excellent for vehicles that experience towing, hauling, steep hill driving, commercial use, racing, off-road use, rapid acceleration, stop and go driving and high ambient temperatures.

AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR™ Gear Lubes are formulated with increased levels of premium quality additives, allowing improved limited-slip and locking differential performance. And with high viscosity indices, SEVERE GEAR™ Gear Lubes provide an extra level of protection at high temperatures. Extra additives provide additional insurance against wear in case of a lubricant film breach. These additives provide an iron sulfide barrier coating that effectively prevents micro-welding that leads to heat and friction. This allows AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR™ Gear Lubes to prevent thermal runaway, a phenomenon caused by a lubricant’s inability to control friction and increased heat under high-stress conditions.

By preventing thermal runaway, AMSOIL SEVERE GEAR™ Gear Lubes inhibit component damage and rapid lubricant degradation.

Long Life Synthetic Gear Lubes (75W-90 & 80W-140)

AMSOIL Long Life Synthetic Gear Lubes are formulated with new and enhanced additives designed specifically for extended drain intervals of up to 500,000 miles in over-the-road trucks. Long Life Synthetic Gear Lubes are engineered to protect gears better than conventional gear oils, resisting acid, carbon and varnish formation and oxidative breakdown. Their superior shear stability allow them to maintain their viscosity during extended service. The enhanced 80W-140 formulation, allowing a greater operating range and improved cold temperature performance.

AMSOIL Long Life Synthetic Gear Lubes are available in five gallon buckets, excellent for use with lube dispensing pumps.
