AMSOIL, The Right
Choice For The Environment
Environmental Responsibility
Today’s mechanized society cannot function without
lubricants. While oil is a necessity, it is also potentially destructive
to nature. Quite simply, it is important to select innovative, efficient
products that help solve the planet’s pollution problems.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are specially designed to
protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer and reduce fuel
consumption – all features that help prevent environmental pollution.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils resist chemical breakdown and the formation
of sludge, keeping engines cleaner. They have been specifically designed
not to oxidize, volatilize or shear, resulting in a motor oil that lasts
longer than conventional motor oils. While conventional motor oil
manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles, AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils protect engines for up to 25,000 miles (up to 50,000 in
diesel applications) or one year, dramatically extending oil change
intervals.
AMSOIL Prescription for Prevention
According to the U.S. 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 beyond 3,000 miles, which can reduce
the source of motor oil pollution more than eight times.
It is estimated that over 200 million gallons of oil are
improperly discarded annually. Dumping 200 million gallons of oil is
nearly the same as 1.5 Exxon Valdez spills each month. Just one quart of
used oil can produce a two-acre oil slick. One gallon of oil can make
one million gallons of water too foul to drink and 35 ppm of oil will
kill fi sh. Improperly disposed used oil is dangerous.
Improperly dumped used oil seeps through landfills into
ground water, disrupts bacterial digestion in sewer treatment plants and
washes into lakes and harbors. At present, used motor oil is the largest
single source of oil pollution in the nation’s waterways. Certainly the
first thing that can be done is reducing the volume of used oil and
recycling the rest. Both synthetic and conventional motor oils can be
recycled at any used oil recycling center. Virtually every city in the
United States has multiple used oil collection sites for free recycling.
Preventing Billions of Quarts from Being Dumped
Most automobile manufacturers recommend oil drain
intervals of 3,000 to 10,000 miles. AMSOIL offers motor oils that last
up to 25,000 miles between oil changes, reducing used oil volume by up
to eight times. Think about the savings on the environment if, for
example, the 243 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the
United States were equipped with AMSOIL motor oil. Assuming an average
service life of 100,000 miles and an oil capacity of 5 quarts each, 12.2
billion to 40.5 billion quarts of used oil will be generated during a
regular service lifetime (with regular oil changes every 3,000 to 10,000
miles). If 40.5 billion quarts of used oil were put into 55-gallon
barrels and lined up, the line would stretch from Los Angeles to
Washington D.C. and back 12 times. Alternatively, if each of those 243
million cars was equipped with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils and followed
oil drain intervals of up to 25,000 miles, as few as 4.8 billion quarts
of oil would be consumed in the same period. That is a reduction of up
to 35.7 billion quarts of oil, just by switching to AMSOIL motor oils.
AMSOIL Solutions
For almost four decades, AMSOIL INC. has been recognized
as the leader in synthetic lubrication technology. AMSOIL was the first
to introduce a synthetic motor oil qualified by the American Petroleum
Institute, the first to recommend 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals
and the first to implement a system for dramatically increasing drain
analysis. Decades of research, and millions of engine miles AMSOIL the
leader in synthetic the company will continue to reduce environmental
continued research, analysis development.
Looking Toward the Future
The life of a lubricant is dependent upon the quality of
the oil and the filtration system’s ability to keep it clean. AMSOIL
provides all the tools necessary for extending drain intervals while
maintaining maximum engine protection. Premium AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants and Ea Filters, in combination with oil analysis from OIL
ANALYZERS INC., allow motorists to dramatically extend drain intervals,
saving time and money while helping to preserve the environment. OIL
ANALYZERS INC. provides accurate testing customer-focused solutions to
help motorists extend oil intervals with confidence. Oil analysis from
OAI detects unforeseen issues and predicts when adjustments or oil
filter changes are necessary.
Ecological and Economical Benefit
Reduces Emissions, Increases Engine Life
Each year nearly 600 million gallons of motor oil are
burned and exit through the tailpipes of cars and trucks, creating
emissions pollution. Petroleum oils volatilize (burn off) more readily
than AMSOIL synthetic oils and create more emissions pollution. The
thicker oil left behind after volatilization contributes to damaging
deposits, sticky piston rings and oil blow-by, all of which cause
reduced engine life, reduced fuel economy and increased air pollution.
Greater Fuel Economy
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL
synthetic lubricants has been proven to increase fuel economy by 2-5%.
AMSOIL lubricants reduce friction and allow engines to use energy more
efficiently.
How Much is 5%
If a person averages more than 15,000 miles each year,
and spends an average of $3 per gallon of gas, a 5% savings would be $90
per year (assuming an average of 25 mpg).
Recycling all the waste oil generated in the United
States over a single year would save
half the annual
output of the Alaska Pipeline.
Recycling just two
gallons of used oil can generate enough
electricity to run the average household for
nearly 24 hours.
Because used oil from discarded oil filters can leak
into the soil and water, many state and local governments have banned
their disposal in area landfills. However, like used oil, used filters
are highly recyclable,
and the steel can be used to manufacture new products such as cans,
construction materials, vehicles and appliances.
The used oil from one oil change can contaminate
1 million gallons
of fresh water – a year’s supply for 50 people.
