| Seven tests were run on the motor oils. * The Thin-Film Oxygen Uptake Test (TFOUT) measures the oxidation stability of engine oils. * The High Temperature/High Shear Test (HTHS) measures a lubricant’s viscosity under severe operating conditions. *The NOACK Volatility Test measures the evaporation loss of oils in high temperature service. *Pour Point indicates the lowest temperature at which a fluid will flow. *Total Base Number (TBN) is the measurement of a lubricant’s reserve alkalinity for combating acids. *The Cold Cranking Simulator Test (CCS) indicates the degree to which a lubricant can impact cold weather starting. The impressive test results show AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil outperformed the competitors in nearly every test. |
Extends Oil Life
The Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test (TFOUT) is used to evaluate engine oil’s
ability to resist heat and oxygen breakdown when contaminated with
oxidized/nitrated fuel, water, and soluble metals such as lead, copper, iron,
manganese and silicon. This test is designed to mimic the operating
conditions of a gasoline engine.
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has superior heat and oxidation
resistance to control sludge deposits and extend oil life. Engines stay clean
for maximum protection and oil changes are reduced, saving time and money.

Protects Hot Engines
The High Temperature/High Shear Test measures a lubricant’s viscosity
under severe high temperature and shear conditions that are similar to severe
service applications in an engine. In order to prevent wear, it is important for a
lubricant to maintain its protective viscosity level under severe operating
conditions.
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil does not “shear back” and thin out like
other motor oils. Its superior viscosity stability provides unsurpassed bearing
protection for dependable engine operation, especially during hot operating
conditions.

Maximizes Fuel Economy, Reduces Oil Consumption and
Emissions
The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in
high temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and
heavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy
and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions.
AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatilization
(evaporation) better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil
maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption and emissions.

Improves Cold Temperature Startup
The Pour Point Test determines the lowest temperature at which a lubricant
will flow. The lower a lubricant’s
pour point, the better protection it provides in low temperature service. Unlike
conventional oils that solidify in cold temperatures, AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic
Motor oil remains fluid down to -58° F. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil helps
engines turn over easier and flows quickly to engine parts for critical start-up
protection. Engines start faster and wear is greatly reduced for extended
engine life.

Controls Acid Formation
Total Base Number (TBN) is the measurement of a lubricant’s reserve
alkalinity, which aids in the control of
acids formed during the combustion process. The higher a motor oil’s TBN,
the more effective it is in suspending wear-causing contaminants and
reducing the corrosive effects of acids over an extended period of time.
The high TBN of AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil allows it to effectively
combat wear-causing contaminants and acids, providing superior protection
and performance over extended drain intervals.

Helps Engines Start Easier
The Cold Crank Simulator Test determines the apparent viscosity of lubricants
at low temperatures and high
shear rates. Viscosity of lubricants under these conditions is directly related to
engine cranking and startability. The lower a lubricant’s cold crank viscosity,
the easier an engine will turn over in cold temperatures. The low cold crank
viscosity of AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 Motor Oil reduces drag on moving
engine parts and allows engines to achieve critical cranking speed in
extremely frigid temperatures. Engines turn over quickly and dependably in the
coldest winter temperatures

Protects Against Wear
The Four-Ball Wear Test evaluates the protection provided by engine oil
under conditions of pressure and sliding motion. The size of the scar left as
a result of the test determines the amount of wear protection the lubricant
provides. The smaller the wear scar, the better the protection. Tests show
that AMSOIL 10W-30
Synthetic Motor Oil has better antiwear performance than all other oils tested.
With AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
Oil, engine life can be extended and major repairs are often reduced.
