AMSOIL Synthetic Oil vs. Mobil 1

Ok, the numbers are in. Mobil 1 STILL falls far short of AMSOIL (even with their new EP product). In testing done August of 2005 against 10 brand name petroleum and synthetic oils, AMSOIL came out the clear powerhouse, even over the new and "amaaaaazing" Mobil 1 Extended Performance synthetic motor oil. You can see the document for yourself in a moment, but here are some highlights:

• Mobil 1 EP Evaporates 38% Faster Than AMSOIL
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 18% More Cold Start Friction
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 22% MORE Wear

In addition, on the TFOUT test, the "Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test" (ASTM D-4742), which provides a very good correlation to the long drain capability of a motor oil, AMSOIL passed the 500 minute cut-off mark with no problem at all, while Mobil 1 Extended Performance came up just a bit short at only 469 minutes. Of course, 469 minutes is significantly better than most of the competing oils, so you've got to give Mobil some credit. But, the AMSOIL product could absolutely have continued longer. Unfortunately, since the test specifications limit the test run time to 500 minutes, we were cut short of determining just exactly how far the AMSOIL synthetic motor oil could really go.

Either way, it's unimportant. AMSOIL offers far and away better protection against component wear, better cold temperature starting, less high temperature evaporation and longer guaranteed drain intervals. Moreover, at Preferred Customer pricing, you'll pay virtually the same amount for AMSOIL (including shipping) than you'll pay for Mobil 1 EP in town at the auto parts chain store.

So, let's see ... about the same cost, better protection, easier cold starts, less evaporation, longer drain intervals. Boy, that's a tough one ... I'll have to think about that for a little while. Can you say "no brainer"?!

Don't take my word for it. Spend some time browsing our website. It won't take long to recognize that AMSOIL offers the world's best oils, and we've got the specs and test data to prove it.

Why AMSOIL & Not Pennzoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1...?

First off, although you can find many fairly good quality oils these days, there are at least a few companies whose integrity should be looked upon as a bit questionable. Specifically, when companies such as Valvoline and Quaker State (Quaker State is the manufacturer of Slick 50 Engine Treatment) utilize such deceptive advertising in regards to their oil additive products, how much weight can you put on advertisements for their motor oils?

Of course, choosing an established brand name oil that you can get off the shelf brings with it a certain amount of familiarity and trust. These oils have been around for years. Our dads and grand-dads have used them for years. Why switch? If it aint broke don't fix it, right?

Well, I guess it all depends upon your perspective. For years people washed their unmentionables in the creek on a wash board. Then, someone invents the washing machine. Why switch? That wash board has been serving us all well for years. Your parents used it, your grandparents used it. It's been in the family for decades and has served you well. Is it really worth switching?

I say it is, and I also say that the comparison between AMSOIL and other oils is very similar to the comparison between that washing machine and a wash board. The wash board will do an average job of washing clothes, but it can in no way compare with the clothes washing ability of the modern washing machine.

AMSOIL offers the absolute BEST protection for your vehicles and equipment.
