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-nine 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!
In regard to AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filters being inferior to Wix (NAPA) filters based upon visual inspection, AMSOIL Filters have an inner beauty that's not visible to the human eye.Unlike the person who made these comments, the Society of Automotive Engineers recognized that filter performance cannot be evaluated by visual inspection.Therefore, they created the industry standard SAE HS806 test for evaluating oil filters.The SAE HS806 test evaluates particle removal efficiency and contaminant holding capacity which are the two main functions an oil filter must perform.As you can see from the following charts, AMSOIL outperforms the competition in both areas.
