Hybrid vehicles present unique challenges for the internal combustion engine (ICE) due to infrequent usage and increased stop/start activity. These demands require specialized lubricants that are not commonly used in traditional ICE vehicles. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is a high-quality option that surpasses the motor oils provided by vehicle manufacturers. It is specifically designed to provide optimal protection for the hybrid-drive cycle, maximizing the performance and efficiency of hybrid engines.
COMBATS CORROSION AND WATER CONTAMINATION
Hybrid engines are prone to corrosion and water contamination due to their intermittent operation. The reduced load on the internal combustion engine (ICE) and infrequent use result in lower engine temperatures that are not enough to evaporate condensation inside the engine. This can lead to rust, wear, and decreased efficiency. To combat these issues, AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Motor Oil is specially formulated with enhanced inhibitors to prevent corrosion caused by condensation and maintain optimal engine performance. Additionally, it contains a higher level of dispersants to effectively manage water that enters the engine through condensation.
PROTECTS AGAINST FUEL DILUTION
When a vehicle frequently starts and stops, the cylinders can become cooler and combustion may not be complete. This increases the chances of unburnt fuel leaking into the crankcase and mixing with the motor oil. As a result, the motor oil loses its ability to properly lubricate the engine. To address this issue, AMSOIL has developed 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil with a strong viscosity that can counteract the negative effects of fuel dilution.
CONTROLS VISCOSITY
In hybrid engines, the frequent starts and stops cause the motor oil to flow intermittently. This means that the oil needs to flow quickly when the engine engages in order to reach critical components. This issue becomes more severe when the engine engages to assist the electric motor during high-load situations and needs to reach high rpm instantly. To address these challenges, AMSOIL has developed 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil, which is specifically formulated to provide optimal low-temperature viscosity control. This ensures that components are rapidly protected at startup.
