Environmental Responsibility and Motor Oil: Enhancing Engine Performance while Minimizing Impact

Boosting Engine Life and Lowering Emissions

Millions of gallons of motor oil are burned annually, emitting pollutants through vehicle tailpipes. Conventional petroleum oils tend to volatilize quickly, leading to greater emissions pollution compared to AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. This volatilization leaves behind heavier residues, contributing to oil blow-by, piston ring issues, and harmful deposits that not only shorten engine life but also lower fuel efficiency and worsen air pollution.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Synthetic lubricants, such as those from AMSOIL, exhibit advanced lubricity, which enhances fuel economy. Studies have demonstrated that AMSOIL synthetic drivetrain lubricants can boost the fuel efficiency of diesel vehicles by a significant 6.54 percent. For example, if a trucker covers 120,000 miles annually and pays $4.09 per gallon of fuel, adopting AMSOIL lubricants can lead to savings of up to $4,994 per year, assuming a mileage increase from 6 mpg to 6.39 mpg.

Solutions, Efficiency, and Innovation

While motor oil is indispensable in today's machinery, its potential harm to the environment cannot be ignored. To mitigate these impacts, selecting lubricants that offer both effectiveness and eco-friendliness is critical. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are tailor-made to protect engine components, reduce emissions, extend longevity, and promote fuel efficiency—all of which contribute to a reduced environmental footprint.

AMSOIL synthetic motor oils exhibit remarkable resistance to sludge formation and chemical degradation, resulting in cleaner engines. Their durability is a result of specialized formulations designed to withstand factors like oxidation, volatilization, and shearing. These oils offer protection for up to 25,000 miles (or 50,000 miles in diesel applications), significantly extending oil change intervals compared to the conventional recommendation of 3,000 miles.

Prescription for Prevention from AMSOIL

Reducing the source of motor oil pollution is a pivotal step towards a cleaner environment. By extending oil change intervals beyond the standard 3,000 miles, AMSOIL can contribute to more than an eightfold reduction in the source of motor oil pollution. This is of utmost importance as improper disposal of used oil is a major concern, with over 200 million gallons of oil believed to be disposed of improperly each year.

AMSOIL's Impact: Preventing Disposal of Billions of Quarts

Imagine the collective environmental impact if AMSOIL synthetic motor oil were used in the millions of American automobiles. By adopting AMSOIL's synthetic motor oils and adhering to extended oil drain intervals, billions of quarts of oil can be saved compared to traditional oil change practices. This not only minimizes waste but also reduces the environmental strain caused by oil production and disposal.
