AMSOIL Out-Scores 4 Competitive Brands in PQIA Tests
While every one of the major oil brands tested meet the specifications of API SN, ILSAC GF-5, SAE 5W-30 engine oil. AMSOIL’s Synthetic Original Equipment (OE) Motor Oil not only meets but exceeds every standard for viscosity, elemental additives, contaminants analyses and guarantees 100% protection from (LSPI) Low Speed Pre-ignition.
The test results show that AMSOIL’s Online Store for Premium Synthetic Lubricants – AMSOIL Original EquipAMSOIL | Online Store for Premium Synthetic Lubricants – AMSOILment motor oil consistently outperformed all the characteristics of four other well-known brands of synthetic engine lubricants in PQIA’s March 4, 2013, testing report. This is again more evidence provided why AMSOIL has 75 % more protection. Remember also that AMSOIL is warranty secure.
Here are the Test Results from an independent lab PQIA on how AMSOIL’s entry level Tier 1 OEM 5-30 OEF oil compared to other major oils. Here is a list of 24 major oils tested, keep in mind that the AMSOIL OE oil is lower than the two tiers of oil that meets OEM spec’s. We want to thank and give credit to PQIA for educating the public and for their research, including petroleum and synthetic lubricant testing. AMSOIL’s Premium Signature Series oils outperform and test out even superior! Check it out here!

PQIA conducts independent testing of consumer, commercial, and industrial lubricants. Standards are established by the American Petroleum Institure (API), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and others.
PQIA selects and tests 5 to 10 brands of lubricants monthly. These samples are selected randomly by region, and the sampling includes lubricants with and without API certification.
The Institute has been published consumer alerts on brands of lubricants which fail to meet published and accepted standards.
PQIA contends, “Synthetics are typically considered the top line in motor oils. They comprise of products formulated with superior base oils (API Group III, and/or polyalphaolefins, esters, and others), and additives.
“Synthetic motor oils are generally said to provide enhanced engine protection from wear and deposits, longer service intervals, superior high temperature operation and cold-flow properties, improved fuel economy, and other features and benefits,” the Institute said in its reporting.
Many oil manufacturers want to have their oils sampled, tested, and published by PQIA without waiting for their oil to be randomly selected. To assure all manufacturers have an opportunity to have their brands tested and results posted on PQIA’s website, the institute will test any specific oil upon request by the oil’s manufacturer provided the manufacturer pays for the costs involved.
All oils tested by PQIA are collected from the field by PQIA staff members, and independently tested. All results are published on PQIA’s website without influence from the manufacturer of the brand, PQIA supporters, or any other industry party.
PQIA is aware that expensive engine testing is required to determine if an oil meets a particular API Service Classification. It also understands there are specific chemical and physical tests required to determine if an engine oil meets an API Service. The bars for these tests are set by the American Petroleum Institure, and if engine oil does not meet the requirements of these tests, it does not meet the requirements of the designated API Service Category, regardless of how it performs in the engine tests.
Tests PQIA looks at in this category include:
- Viscosity @ 100ºC, cSt, (ASTM D445)
- Viscosity @ 40ºC, cSt, (ASTM D445)
- Viscosity @ -30ºC mPa s (cP) (ASTM D5293)
- NOACK Volatility, mass % loss, 1 hr, @ 250ºC (ASTM D5800 Phosphorus, ppm (ASTM D5185)
The second group of chemical and physical tests examined by PQIA includes tests where, although there are no specific API requirements, the test data can be used to determine if a product is typical of what one would expect to see in a particular API service category. As an example, whereas the API does not specify a requirement for calcium, calcium is considered an integral and critical part of an engine oil’s additive package. As such, an engine oil meeting API SM Service Classification would typically contain calcium in the range of 1,600 to 2,400, PQIA said. This contrasts sharply with a typical API SA engine oil containing virtually no calcium.
Samples are retained for one year for challenges concerning the data presented for a given sample.
Samples collected by PQIA are sent to Southwest Research Institute (SWRi) in San Antonio, TX. SWRI provides laboratory testing, laboratory outsourcing, consulting, cargo inspection, and certification services for clients in a wide range of industries on a global basis.

#1 First make sure your vehicle is on level ground for the correct fill level, and with parking brake on for safety!
#2 Never over fill any fluid compartment, this will cause over heating, oxidation of the oil and may result in leaks occurring! It is best to keep the oil level above the add and up to the full marks!
#3 For engine oil, it is best to check before starting when cold. After operation of vehicle make sure it has been turned off for 10 minutes! Some diesel engine manufactures allow the engine oil to be checked when running, they will usually have a hot and cold measurement on the gauge!
#4 For automatic transmissions with level gauges, they will have an add and full mark and or a hot and cold mark. If the unit is cold it should be on the add or cold mark and if it is at operating temperature it should be on or slightly below the full or hot marks. Be sure to set your parking brake and check running in neutral.
#5 For differentials check your owners manual or the AMSOIL application guide to find the proper fill level! Most levels are 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch below the plug level.

Since the introduction of ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) in 2007, fuel system component life has decreased significantly, by up to 50% in older mechanical fuel systems. It definitely has caused shortened life & numerous problems with the newer fuel systems including the common rail . AMSOIL ADF Injector Cleaner or the ADB three in one is specifically designed to eliminate the problems associated with the old, and new common rail fuel systems. The fact is injectors cost anywhere from $300.00 up to around $1000.00 each, plus the labor! AMSOIL ADF Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner corrects for the deficiencies of current diesel fuels of today, and the variances that run through out North America., click here for diesel fuel fundamentals, in which we give credit to ALS laboratories. Along with protecting your fuel system, it has been tested to increase your fuel economy up to 4.5%.

Several other benefits are an increase in fuel economy up to 2% while assisting in cold weather starting which translates to less white smoke (unburned fuel), with improved fuel combustion this prevents cylinder wash down and easier starts keeps batteries and starters lasting longer.
For those newer on road vehicles since 2007 and off road since 2013 that have DPF’s (diesel particulate filters). Both the AMSOIL ADF & ACB diesel fuel additives will help in keeping the DPF cleaner and from re-generating as much!
Will this be another winter of cold weather! This creates havoc with diesel engine owners because the current diesel fuel blend, we have seen flow reduced (GPM) @ 20 degrees F and diesel fuel reaching its cloud point at 10 degrees F here in Colorado, AMSOIL has the solution. AMSOIL manufactures a De-Icer ACF Fuel Additive or a all in one additive ADB from AMSOIL to prevent cold weather cloud point or waxing problems (some call it jelling)! What actually happens is that the diesel fuel reaches its cloud point and the wax separates then falls to the bottom of the tank!! Then when you start your vehicle the wax goes directly into the lines, pump, filter & will plug all of these components. This will cause a large expense in getting your diesel engine operating again if this happens–AMSOIL has the solution for emergency’s like this, AMSOIL DIESEL RECOVERY DRC. To prevent this we suggest the use Amsoil De-icer AFC when the temperature gets to 10 degrees F.

This saves you $$ no matter what the cost of fuel is, plus it will prolong your vehicles life with 75% more protection! AMSOIL oils & warranty now protects your Gas Direct Engine 100% against LSPI.
Gasoline and diesel fuel prices may temporarily go down for short periods of time, but they eventually keep rising. Fuel costs are a major expense putting a strain on businesses that rely on vehicles,. Whether over the road trucks, delivery services and heavy equipment in their daily operations. Consumers everywhere feel the strain of fuel prices every time they fill their fuel tanks of their autos, SUVs, vans and pickups. For those who own Recreational vehicles also feel this impact with their motor-homes, ATVs, boats and motorcycles, etc. AMSOIL products are the most cost effective way to ease those strains.
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants will definitely improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy and creating less friction and heat than when conventional or other synthetic lubricants are used. Check it out here!
The use of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes, transmission fluids, grease and fuel additives will have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption by 10% to 30% by switching to AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.
Numerous AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy, we have seen up to a 30% increase by changing all power train lubricants! This also relates to longer component life!!
Tips for increased fuel economy: This is not rocket science!
#1 Use AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants, grease, oil filters and fuel additives throughout your vehicle to keep it operating in peak performance!
#2 Maintain your tire PSI at manufactured spec’s and keep your vehicle in proper alignment! Certain tires have a higher MPG specification ( less rolling resistance), check them out! A loss of 1 PSI can reduce your fuel economy by 0.2%.
#3 Keep your windows and sun roof closed for less drag and better aerodynamics!
#4 Use your air conditioner only when necessary, and remember when your heater control is on defrost it operates your AC to De-humidify your interior and will also lower your MPG! This is necessary in the winter or high humidity to help defrost your windows though, so safety is first.
#5 Plan your driving route, combine your trips, look ahead and be observant to avoid driving obstructions! Just maintain a constant speed .
#6 Do not exceed the speed limit, on average for every mile an hour increase over 65 MPH, your fuel economy will drop by approximately 1%! Ten MPH =10%
#7 Keep your braking and acceleration gradual, and to a minimum; sudden stops and starts reduces your fuel economy, steady as she goes saves fuel and $$$!
#8 When driving highways keep your speed at a constant MPH, use your cruise control to help when necessary!
#9 Keep your engine maintained: Remember to keep your engine properly tuned, dirty spark plugs decreases your fuel economy, engine performance and will eventually carbon up your valves, pistons, rings and cause premature failure of the catalytic converter by restricting the flow through it . This will lead to excessive blow by which increases engine wear and contamination of gases, to prevent this use AMSOIL gasoline additive PI. This applies to diesel engines also, be sure to maintain your fuel system with the proper grade of fuel (#2), and use AMSOIL diesel fuel concentrate, cetane boost and cold flow improver with deicer when necessary! Get the facts from us about how the Ultra Low Diesel fuel we now have will effect your fuel system!
#10 Minimize idling: Idling for more than 1 minute wastes gas and costs more than starting your engine ( there may be exceptions in severe cold). Excessive idling wastes gas, minimize your warm up idling to approximately 30 seconds. This also depends on the severity of the cold and safety of windows being clear of frost. Ten minutes of idling may cost you 5-6 MPH!
#11 Keep excessive weight from your vehicle, unnecessary weight has a negative effect on fuel economy, vehicle handling and performance!
It Makes Dollars and Sense
It just makes cents.
