Auto and Light Truck Product Guide  Today's motorist is confused. For several years GM and several other car manufacturers have been installing a monitor that uses a light on the dash to indicate when it's time to change oil. But oil companies and oil change facilities continue pushing the 3000 mile oil change interval. What's a car owner to do? The right approach is to follow the light, and to use AMSOIL XL, the one oil designed for today's OEM approved extended drain situations. With AMSOIL XL you still get all the other benefits of a premium synthetic motor oil including:  Superior wear protection so that engines last longer Improved fuel economy... More miles per gallon Easier cold starts Cooler running engines in high heat Reduced engine deposits Resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown Increased horsepower Superior shear stability and film strength In short, with AMSOIL you get the best of everything: the convenience of longer drain intervals and performance benefits galore. Plus, it's better for the environment as well. Manufacturers of petroleum-based oils have insisted that oil needs to be changed every 3000 miles, even for these modern vehicles with the light. Why not install an API Certified Synthetic Motor Oil that specifically states that it can be used for 7500 miles or six months, or longer if the OEM oil light sensor indicates as such. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have been designed to go far beyond the requirements of engine manufacturers for peace of mind as you travel further between oil changes. AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils is available in SAE 5W-30, 5W-20, 10W-30 and 10W-40 viscosity grades. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| MORE INFORMATION ON DASHBOARD MONITORS According to a feature story in the May 2004 issue of Lubes N Greases, "vehicles equipped with the OLS no longer specify or recommend any mileage interval for oil changes."* As we enter 2005, more and more cars will be going 10,000 miles and beyond without the light going on. GM has finally cut the cord. In 2004 their "April is Car Care Month" campaign advertised that the 3,000 mile oil change may be unnecessary. The alternative today is total reliance on their patented Oil Life System (OLS).
Security Beyond 3,000 Miles
AMSOIL Extended Life XL Synthetic Motor Oils exceed the current performance requirements for gasoline engines and deliver exceptional performance by controlling wear and maximizing fuel economy. AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are convenient and cost effective. They last longer than conventional petroleum motor oils, saving time and money. Motorists traveling 15,000 miles per year need only change AMSOIL XL motor oils twice, compared to five times for conventional 3,000-mile change intervals. While the initial fill may be more expensive than conventional oil, mile for mile AMSOIL XL costs less. AMSOIL Extended Life Synthetic Motor Oils provide peace of mind. The oil drain interval recommendations for many of today's vehicles extend well beyond the traditional 3,000- mile interval, some up to 12,000 miles with electronic oil monitoring systems. And unlike petroleum oils that have 3,000-mile maximum recommendations, AMSOIL XL Oils provide 7,500- mile/six-month drain intervals, or longer where stated by vehicle manufacturers or indicated by oil life monitoring systems. When using AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils, protection and performance are not sacrificed with longer drain intervals. AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world's first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics, to do the best job protecting your engine. Improve Fuel Economy AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are fuel-efficient oils formulated with friction modifiers to reduce energy loss from friction. They provide better fuel economy compared to conventional, non-fuel-efficient motor oils. Maintain Low Emissions AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are friendly toward modern emission control systems, helping improve catalytic converter service life for low exhaust emissions. Protect Engines In All Temperatures AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are multi-viscosity formulations. They provide optimum engine protection in both hot and cold temperature conditions. Keep Engines Clean AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and are significantly more resistant to sludge and carbon deposits than conventional oils. AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils promote clean operation for longer lasting, better running engines. Lower Fleet Maintenance Costs Cost conscious business owners and fleet managers benefit from the extended drain intervals and wear protection of high-quality AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils. While frequent oil changes are costly, time consuming and inconvenient, longer drain intervals reduce costs (labor, used oil disposal, facility demands) and improve environmental image. Bid AppropriateAMSOIL Extended Life Synthetic Motor Oils fulfill the requirements of most public and private purchasing bids. These oils are cost effective, making them ideal where synthetic motor oil is specified.
