The Right Choice For The Environment

With the introduction of Amsoil's 100% synthetic API Rated 25,000 mile or once a year oil change in 1972 set all new standards for motor oil quality.Amsoil lubricants are 100% synthetic.They are designed to protect engine components,reduce emissions,last longer,reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution.From the start Amsoil synthetic oil have out-performed conventional petroleum motor oil's on all counts.Amsoil synthetic motor oil's resist chemical breakdown and formation of sludge,keeping engines cleaner.They have been designed not to oxidize,volatilize or shear back,resulting in a motor oil that last longer than conventional motor oil's.While conventional motor oil manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles, Amsoil synthetic motor oil's protect engine components up to 35,000 miles or one year, dramatically extending oil change intervals.

According to the US Department of Energy's Pollution Prevention Requirements,the first step in revitalizing a cleaner nation is pollutant source reduction.

Amsoil accomplishes this by extending the interval between motor oil changes which can reduce the source of motor oil pollution more than 11 times.

It is estimated that over 240 million gallons of oil are improperly discarded annually.Dumping 240 million gallons of oil is nearly the same as two Exxon Valdez spills each month.Just one quart of used oil can produce a a two acre oil slick.One gallon of oil can make one million gallons of water too foul too drink and 35 ppm of oil will kill fish.Improperly disposed used oil is dangerous.At present,used motor oil is the largest single source of oil pollution in our nation's waterways.

Just imagine if the 243 million cars in the US (excluding trucks,buses,taxis) were equipped with Amsoil motor oil and following oil drain intervals of 7,500 to 35,000 with average life of the car at 100,000 miles the reduction of used motor oil would be from 4 to 37 billion quarts of oil,just by switching to Amsoil motor oil's.Imagine how much foreign oil that would eliminate.
