Why Synthetic Oil From AMSOIL?
Lubrication has always been critical but AMSOIL’s synthetic breakthrough changed the game for cleaner, longer-lasting engine performance.
Cleaner Engines // Longer Life
Years of engine struggles ended when AMSOIL introduced synthetic motor oil, solving problems no one thought possible.
Oil has been the key component of internal combustion engines since they were introduced. All of those metal parts within the engine needed lubrication, and oil was the best option. However, there were always issues with gunk, debris and deposits slowing down the engine and eventually causing it to fail. For years, people thought there was no solution, and that was true until AMSOIL came along and broke through with synthetic motor oil.

Why Synthetic Oil?
Chosen By Mechanics & Pros
Synthetic motor oil is better in almost every way when compared to conventional motor oil. First, and foremost, it is more protective and provides premium wear and tear prevention across all engine types, including gasoline and diesel. Secondly, it maximizes your engine's performance and brings it to life when you need it most. Finally, since synthetic oil undergoes chemical changes and lacks mineral deposits, you can run your engine for longer without needing to change the oil or top it off, as the burn rate is 30% less on average. Least to say, there is a reason why top-end mechanics and racing pros choose synthetic oil; it is hands down the best lubricant option on the market.
Synthetic Oil Advantage
Maximum Engine Protection & Longer Oil Life
Synthetic oil has the advantage simply due to the fact that it is formulated and blended to be the ultimate oil product for engines. As it is a created product, synthetic oil has fewer impurities than conventional oil and provides your engine with a better burning product that will not leave mineral deposits or gunk throughout the engine. Further to this, due to synthetic oil’s molecular structure, your engine will perform better on synthetic oil, as you are not losing energy due to friction within the engine. Most importantly for us in chilly Toledo, Ohio, synthetic oil reduces the wear on engines during cold starts in the dead of winter.
Synthetic Oil VS Conventional
Let's get to the bottom of it... Which is better & why?
When thinking about synthetic vs conventional oil, you can really think about it as the original and the upgrade. Conventional oil is a great lubricant on its own, but it is a natural product that is produced from crude oil. Even with the various refinements, there is still a natural mineral content that is not going to be beneficial for any type of engine.
Comparatively, synthetic lubricants use a man-made base stock, which completely changes the very molecular structure. During processing, we reformulate and blend the base product along with proprietary additives to create a unified molecular structure that creates less friction and less heat to provide better performance and wear and tear protection. Additionally, as this is a manufactured lubricant, there are not as many additives needed to balance and clean the lubricant. Instead, when you choose synthetic lubricants, you can enjoy advanced additives that are designed to increase performance and overall cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
No Dumb Questions, Just Dry Dipsticks
What makes synthetic oil different from conventional oil?
Synthetic oil is different than conventional motor oil in its molecular structure. Conventional oil is a crude oil by-product that is made by refining crude oil into motor oil. Synthetic oil, in comparison, is a chemically engineered product that uses crude oil as a base, but changes the molecular structure to create an engineered oil that has better performance across the board. The refinement process for synthetic formulates and blends the oil to reach the wanted viscosity.
Should I always choose synthetic oil for my car or truck?
Synthetic is a great choice for any gasoline or diesel car or truck. With its superior performance, better cleaning properties and longer-lasting nature, synthetic motor oil is always worth the investment for your personal vehicle.
Are there any engines that specifically need synthetic oil?
Yes, many modern engines specifically call for synthetic oil due to its high-temperature protection and lubrication it can deliver in demanding conditions. For instance, any turbocharged or supercharged engines will require synthetic oil to handle the extreme heat and pressure in these powerful engines. High-performance engines typically require synthetic oil for the same reasons as supercharged engines. As well, if your specific make or model has a tight engine tolerance, you may need synthetic oil to flow quickly over these smaller parts in tight spaces.
Why is synthetic oil more expensive than conventional oil?
Synthetic motor oil is normally more expensive than conventional motor oil due to the manufacturing process that is needed to create synthetic oil. However, even with the additional cost, over the lifetime of your vehicle, synthetic oil will save you money by limiting the wear and tear on the engine and giving you more miles between your oil changes.
