Q. Can I use AMSOIL AFF
0W-40 in my new 4-stroke snowmobile?
R. Absolutely! AMSOIL AFF 0W-40 was specifically formulated
for use in small, hard working 4-stroke engines. AFF is ideal
for 4-cycle snowmobiles, ATV's, personal watercraft, 4-stroke
boat motors, lawn equipment etc...
Q. How long have AMSOIL
lubricants been on the market?
R. AMSOIL introduced the first synthetic motor oil with
an API (American Petroleum Institute) Service Classification
in 1972. Since that time, AMSOIL has varied and expanded its
product line.
Q. What are AMSOIL Synthetic
Motor Oils?
R. AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants are fuel efficient, extended
life lubricants manufactured from select synthetic base stocks
and special purpose additives. These lubricants provide improved
overall performance characteristics when compared to conventional
petroleum oils.
Q. What are AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend Motor Oils?
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend Motor Oils are a blend of synthetic
fluids and petroleum oils. They are combined to form an all
season motor oil that demonstrates many of the performance
features of synthetic lubricants.
Q. Can AMSOIL Motor Oils
be used in any engine?
Certainly, AMSOIL Motor Oils may be used in any mechanically
sound gasoline or diesel fueled engine. Basically, that means
they are excellent for use in any vehicle’s engine.
Q. Will AMSOIL Motor Oils
void the warranty of a new vehicle?
R. Absolutely not! Manufacturers’ warranties are based
upon the use of oils meeting specific API Service Classifications,
for example, SJ/CF. (AMSOIL lubricants meet the current API
Service requirements and, thus, are perfectly suited for use
in any new vehicle without affecting the validity of the new
vehicle warranty.)
Q. Are AMSOIL Motor Oils All-Season Oils?
R. Synthetic oils are made to protect and perform better
than petroleum oils at both high and low temperature extremes.
That’s why every jet engine in the world is lubricated
with synthetic oil. AMSOIL Motor Oils have extremely low pour
points and flow readily at extremely low temperatures for
easier winter starting and significantly reduced engine wear.
At high temperatures, no conventional motor oil can compare
to the overall protection AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils provide.
That’s extremely important for today’s turbocharged
and small, non-turbocharged engines!
Q. Will using AMSOIL Motor
Oils increase gas mileage?
R. Tighter government regulations and increases in engine
manufacturers’ demands are calling for more fuel efficient
lubricants. AMSOIL Motor Oils reduce friction and drag better
than petroleum oils, resulting in significant fuel economy
increases. In a recent 1.2 million mile demonstration, AMSOIL
Lubricants showed a 4.5% increase in gas mileage. Other tests
have shown increases of as much as 15% under certain weather
and driving conditions. Yet, because every vehicle is different,
as are driving habits and conditions, it is difficult to accurately
project an exact increase.
Q. Are AMSOIL Motor Oils
compatible with other motor oils?
R. Yes. AMSOIL Motor Oils are compatible with all other
synthetic or petroleum motor oils.
Q. Why are AMSOIL Motor
Oils capable of extended drain intervals?
R. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are highly resistant to the
destructive effects of heat, and do not break down like petroleum
oils. This means that AMSOIL Motor Oils can provide much longer
drain intervals than conventional lubricants.
Q. Will AMSOIL Motor Oils
decrease oil consumption?
R. Yes. When used in mechanically sound engines, AMSOIL
Motor Oils can reduce oil consumption. Under test conditions,
a reduction of as much as 42% was demonstrated for prolonged
periods. However, this should not be taken to mean that AMSOIL
Motor Oils are “cure-alls” for engines that consume
oil because of mechanical problems.
Q. Is there a recommended
procedure for changing to AMSOIL Motor Oils?
There are no special requirements; however, in older vehicles
or those with high mileage, it may be advisable to use AMSOIL
Engine Flush first. This will ensure that the engine is clean
and free of any accumulated contaminants which might have
an effect on the service life of AMSOIL Motor Oils. In all
cases, it is good judgement to install a new AMSOIL Super
Duty Full-Flow Oil Filter (SDF) every time you change oil.
Q. Should Oil Additives
or After Market Products be added to AMSOIL Motor Oils?
R. No, they are not necessary! AMSOIL Motor Oils are properly
formulated under the strictest Quality Control procedure to
provide superior lubrication performance.
