The key to car maintenance, the oil change

Car & truck oil change maintenance

In the past, an oil change service was fairly simple. Just drive 5,000 km (3,000 miles) then find an oil change centre or do it yourself. Not only have these common oil change intervals gone by the wayside, but so have the oils from previous years. Motor oil change service today costs more due to the increased additives needed to promote better fuel economy and longer drain intervals, and more importantly meet the specifications of modern engine technology. Additives are the most expensive part of engine oil and most oil blending companies use the minimum amount of the least expensive additives required to meet SAE/API requirements. Fleet managers, auto service owners and motorists alike see no real difference with modern-day oils – in fact, they see them on par with conventional oil and for the most part, they’re right!

Current oil standards simply don’t focus on quality or consumer value. While there are dozens of branded oils in the market, not all are the same quality. When you start right, you can end right. AMSOIL starts with the best-of-class, highest-quality base stocks and additives, and over 45 years of pioneering knowledge to formulate the perfect recipe. The end result is a synthetic motor oil that far exceeds SAE/API standards in quality. Customer recognition from fleet managers, service centre owners, commercial contractors, and private motorists gives credibility to AMSOIL’s claim that quality holds better value than lower price alone.

The most harmful effects on any vehicle are heat and friction, and it’s evident nowhere more than in powertrain components. Friction and heat will rob an engine of power, contribute to excessive wear, and lower your fuel mileage. Over time, lasting damage can result. AMSOIL engine oil products for cars and trucks will keep your engine running like new with the highest protection.

By choosing AMSOIL, your engine will stay healthy for longer, extending the best years of operation. Your engine will run cooler, at peak efficiency, and you’ll save money on car oil and filter changes throughout the year with extended intervals.
