With the increase in gas prices, a number of "gas saving" products have suddenly appeared. Almost all of them require you to make an additional, up front purchase. Some require you to carry bottles in your vehicle and measure out a fluid to pour in the gas tank each and every time you fill up.

One American made product (Amsoil), has been improving economy for more than 30 years now, and doesn't require an additional purchase, or extra time at the gas pump. At the next scheduled oil change, simply hand your mechanic a superior engine oil - Amsoil. Savvy consumers know that this convenient solution improves performance AND increases wear protection while reducing the pollution of our planet. Amazing!

1 Oil Change Labor

With the ever increasing cost of labor, by far the greatest cost associated with an oil change is the manual labor itself. As explained on our Technical Page, Amsoil products are designed to give superior protection over extended use. Most of the synthetic auto oils produced by Amsoil are rated for 25,000 miles (or more) of normal use. See the chart below for what this means in terms of savings for you & your family.

2 Improved Mileage

Tighter government regulations and increases in engine manufacturer’s demands are calling for more fuel efficient lubricants. AMSOIL Motor Oils reduce friction and drag better than petroleum oils, resulting in significant fuel economy increases.

In a recent 1.2 million mile demonstration, AMSOIL Lubricants showed a 4.5% increase in gas mileage. Other tests have shown increases of as much as 15% under certain weather and driving conditions. Yet, because every vehicle is different, as are driving habits and conditions, it is difficult to accurately project an exact increase.

In particular, owners of Hummers, pickup trucks and all 4 wheel drive vehicles are strongly urged to change transmission fluid, gear lubes and transfer cases over to Amsoil synthetic lubricants for maximum fuel savings. In such cases, the improvement in fuel economy can be dramatic. Click here for examples of estimated savings

3 Peak Performance

Typically, with mineral oil lubricants, performance tends to degrade over time. This is the result of higher wear rates and the buildup of "sludge" deposits created by breakdown of the petroleum oil. Every mechanic knows what I mean. The highly detergent nature of Amsoil lubricants keeps engines clean and the superior lubrication qualities reduce the wear that erodes performance over time.

Of course, you also avoid extra oil change excursions and wasted time sitting in line at Larry's Lucky Lube. After you have your oil changed, be sure to say a hearty goodbye to your oil change mechanic, because, in all likelihood, you will not have to see him again for a year. The labor cost of those extra 4 oil changes you avoided now gives your engine extra protection, increases your economy and puts extra spending money in your wallet. And, more than 4 gallons of used motor oil was spared from contaminating our landfills. What a great idea!
