AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils Extend Drain Intervals to 10,000 miles or Six Months

Emissions System Improvements
Phosphorus is often used as an antiwear agent in motor oils. Over time, however, it can volatize and enter after-treatment devices such as catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, shortening their lifespan, increasing tailpipe emissions and causing increased engine oil oxidation and thickening.

AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils have excellent phosphorus retention and help improve catalytic converter service life for low exhaust emissions, in accordance with GF-5 requirements.

Engine Oil Robustness
For GF-5, engine oil robustness is defined as an oil’s performance in the areas of piston cleanliness, sludge resistance and turbo protection. Oils meeting GF-5 must exhibit improvements in each area relative to the previous GF-4 specification.

Fortified with extra detergent and dispersant additives, AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils are engineered to resist sludge better than conventional oils, promoting clean operation for longer lasting, better-running engines.

As temperatures inside the combustion chambers of modern engines continue rising, piston cleanliness and turbo protection become more important. Deposits on the piston crown can cause pre-ignition, reducing performance, while sticking rings can cause blow-by, reduced compression and poor performance. Turbochargers can reach 100,000 rpm and temperatures of 1,200°F, creating an environment that can destroy lesser oils, leading to thermal coking and bearing failure.

AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils resist the effects of thermal breakdown, including evaporation, viscosity loss and deposit formation for increased piston cleanliness and turbo protection.

Installer Program Changes
AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oils have historically provided Dealers ample sales opportunities in the oil installer market, and many installers have implemented very successful 7,500-mile oil change programs featuring the XL line. There is no need for installers to adjust their current programs if they don’t choose to. However, AMSOIL is currently reevaluating the Installer Program and will introduce an improved version in the coming months that provides Dealers with more opportunities and installers with more profit potential. Watch for more information in next month’s issue.
