Q. An
individual has posted a message on an Internet message board that said
AMSOIL motor oils
"lack sufficient EP additives" and the "quality of the product has dropped" in
the last few years. Due to lack of EP additives and the drop in product
quality he "wiped out bearings, pistons, rocker bushings, etc."
A.
No truth whatsoever.
AMSOIL INC. has continually improved the performance of its products over the years.
The best performing oil we've ever made are the oils we make today. In addition,
new technology has allowed us to improve performance as the introduction of our
Series 2000 oils demonstrated. Our standard products outperform the competition
and the Series 2000 products blow them away.
First of all, extreme pressure (EP) additives are not typically used in motor
oil. EP additives are used in gear lubes and some greases. This is because they
contain sulfur or chlorine compounds that become active under engine operating
conditions. In this activated state they react with the water found in
by-products of combustion, and form acids which are corrosive to engine
components such as bearings.
Engine oils typically use antiwear (AW) additives to prevent metal-to-metal
contact within an engine. These are commonly zinc and phosphorus compounds (zinc
dithiophosphate or ZDP). These additives are different from EP additives because
they activate or bond with metal surfaces at lower temperatures and pressures
and do not form corrosive acids. EP additives are intended to withstand higher
pressures and temperatures than found in engines. AW additives offer more than
enough protection for all engine conditions without any of the harmful side
effects of EP additives.
AMSOIL INC. has always used higher quality and a higher level of additives
including zinc and phosphorus than most motor oils on the market. The attached
tables compare the content of zinc and phosphorus of several popular motor oils
for passenger car and racing applications. These additive contents were
determined using spectrographic analysis. Results could be verified for accuracy
by submitting unused oil for analysis to any independent oil analysis
laboratory.

Quantity of AW additives alone, however, will not make one lubricant perform
better than a competitive lubricant. It's the combination of blended synthetic
basestocks with a perfectly balanced package of the highest quality additives
that allows AMSOIL to consistently outperform the competition in all aspects,
including wear protection. (NOTE: Perfectly balanced means that using an
aftermarket oil additive will not improve and may actually harm the performance
of AMSOIL
motor oils.)
The following results from Four Ball Wear Tests will demonstrate how
effective AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are at wear protection compared to other
popular oils. The Four Ball Wear Test is a lubricant industry standard (ASTM D
4172) test that compares relative wear prevention characteristics of new
lubricants at specified conditions.
Do AMSOIL
Motor Oils "lack sufficient EP additives"?
AMSOIL products clearly offer better wear protection than competitive
synthetics and much better protection than conventional oils. Engines can fail
due to mechanical problems even when using AMSOIL.
AMSOIL Motor Oils, however,
in over twenty-five years have never caused an engine failure. If you ever hear
someone say AMSOIL caused their engine, bearings, pistons, etc. to fail, they
are wrong.
Federal Mogul Corporation, a manufacturer of engine bearings, pistons,
connecting rods and other engine parts, studied over 7,000 case histories of
bearing distress and engine failure and never found engine oil to be the cause
of a failure. Dirt, the number one cause of engine failure, was found to be
responsible for 43.4% of failures, and insufficient lubrication, the second most
common cause of failure, was responsible for 16.6% of failures. Insufficient
lubrication is the general term used when not enough oil gets through to the
engine to lubricate it (lack of oil volume).
Some causes of insufficient lubrication include oxidation, oil thickening,
sludge, cold temperature related dry starts, etc. These, however, are also areas
where AMSOIL motor oils out perform the competition. If an engine breaks down
with AMSOIL
motor oil in it, it would have broken down sooner using another oil!
That's fact!

AMSOIL
also
features the
Ea Oil Filter that feature advanced
full synthetic nanofiber
technology, making them the highest efficiency filters
that are available for the auto/light truck market.
AMSOIL
is the first in the industry to offer a full synthetic

The AMSOIL
Ea Oil Filters have a 25,000
mile service life as well as specialized filtration systems
for commercial and fleet applications in cars and light,
medium and heavy trucks which can filter particles down to
less than one micron (a standard full flow oil filter can
only filter to 20-25 microns with any degree of efficiency)
making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of
over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet
service.
