Here’s a clip from founder Al Amatuzio’s comments in the AMSOIL dealer magazine dated June 2012 regarding the loyalty we dealers have in AMSOIL and why sales have been on the increase over the past 12 years.
Along with that enthusiasm comes a very real sense of loyalty. Its been a long road since the introduction of our first synthetic motor oil in 1972, and the struggles we faced as the industrys only synthetic oil are behind us. We face new challenges today, but we do so from a position of leadership. We are clearly recognized for our innovation, and the quality of the products carrying the AMSOIL name is absolutely undisputable. We have established brand loyalty, and that has never been more obvious than it was at AMSOIL University.
But loyalty to the AMSOIL brand extends well beyond our Dealers. It didnt happen by accident. AMSOIL meets the criteria established by brand loyalty experts, and we have given consumers every reason to attach their loyalty to us.
1. Something better: AMSOIL products are formulated to the absolute highest standards. We invest in technology that other companies simply will not invest in. AMSOIL does not compromise on quality. We do not sacrifice performance for the sake of profit margins. AMSOIL products bring value that is not achieved with other products.
2. Sense of belonging: Consumers identify with AMSOIL. We are an unconventional company with unconventional products. AMSOIL consumers belong to an exclusive club. They share a desire for performance that is lost on other consumers. They know something other consumers do not know.
3. Credibility: It extends beyond our products doing what we claim our products will do. Credibility is achieved through the image we project. It is gained through the professionalism displayed in our sales brochures, data bulletins and technical studies. Our label designs and product packaging are as good as it gets. Our website is a true source of legitimate information, and the training we provide cannot be found in other companies.
4. Accessibility: We dont hide from our consumers. Our staff remains available at all times. We field technical questions at all levels, dont run from complaints and apply consideration to all worthwhile suggestions. Consumers want to know they have access to real people, and AMSOIL takes that responsibility seriously.
5. Sustainability: We remain ahead of the curve. We deliver products people want. The AMSOIL brand has endured because we keep our product line fresh, but we dont make changes just for the sake of change. The goal has always been to ensure that every person who becomes an AMSOIL customer will remain an AMSOIL customer for life.
All the success this company has achieved, of course, must be shared with our AMSOIL Dealers. Together we have built a brand that will remain an industry leader for generations to come. And while we still have work to do, you can be assured that your independent AMSOIL business can grow as large as your commitment will take it!
Unsurpassed Diesel Engine Protection
Diesel engine emissions have been an ongoing environmental concern for the past few decades, and the United States, Europe and Japan have responded to demands to reduce harmful particulates and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In the U.S., particulate and NOx levels were first regulated in 1988, with regulations becoming increasingly stringent through the years. In fact, 1988 standards set NOx and particulate levels at 14.4 g/kWhr (grams/kilowatts – hour) and 0.8 g/kW-hr respectively, while 2010 standards have been set at 0.27 g/kW-hr and 0.013 g/kW-hr respectively. By 2010, diesel engines will be considered “clean,” but getting there will require sulfur-free fuel, improved in-cylinder combustion, exhaust after-treatment, vehicle design changes and diesel oils that are compatible with after-treatment systems.
Between the years 1988 and 1991, emission standards were met by improving in-cylinder combustion through the use of unit injectors, electronic controls, controlled air swirl, improved combustion bowl design, reduced piston crevice volume, turbo-charging, air inter-cooling and reductions in oil consumption.
The year 1991 also saw the use of high top rings to lower particulate emissions. By 1998, retarded fuel injection timing was introduced to meet increasingly stringent NOx emission standards. High top rings and retarded fuel injection timing increased soot loading on the oil, leading to the introduction of API diesel oil category CH-4 in order to prevent viscosity increases and increased wear due to soot.
In order to meet 2002 emission standards, most engine manufacturers introduced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) engines, which recirculate a portion of the exhaust to the engine’s combustion chamber, lowering peak combustion temperature. Although EGR engines effectively reduce emissions, they also run hotter and introduce higher levels of soot and acid into the oil, leading to increased wear, increased oil viscosity and shorter oil drain intervals.
The API CI-4 diesel oil specification was introduced in December 2001 to protect against the higher temperatures and increased levels of acids, soot and oxidation associated with EGR engines, while some manufacturers released their own diesel oil performance specifications in order to assure optimum protection for their equipment. Mack released its stringent EO-N Premium Plus High Performance Diesel Engine Oil specification in the spring of 2002, then upgraded it to EO-N Premium Plus 03 in April 2003 due to soot-related oil thickening and shear that occurred after a certain length of highway time.
API issued an upgrade to its CI-4 specification, CI-4 PLUS, in September 2004 in order to provide improved oxidation resistance, shear stability, acid neutralization and soot dispersancy for EGR engines. CI-4 PLUS certified diesel oils also meet most of the individual manufacturer issued specifications and are backward compatible with older diesel oil specifications and engines. CI-4 PLUS oils must first meet the original requirements of CI-4, with the additional requirements of passing the 90-Pass Shear Stability Bench Test and the Mack T-11 engine test, a more stringent upgrade of the Mack T-8E soot-viscosity test required for CI-4.
In order to meet 2007 particulate standards, exhaust after-treatment devices such as particulate filters (DPF’s) and continuously regenerative traps (CRT’s) will be incorporated into diesel engines, creating new challenges for diesel oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils are ahead of the curve and ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils surpass the most stringent modern diesel oil specifications, including CI-4 PLUS and EO-N Premium Plus 03. Formulated with top-of-the-line synthetic base stocks and advanced additive packages, AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils effectively control the increased soot and acid levels associated with EGR units, while remaining shear stable at high temperatures, avoiding the damaging sludge and deposit build-up that contribute to decreased fuel efficiency, corrosion and accelerated engine wear. The drain intervals of AMSOIL diesel oils may be extended by oil analysis in EGR-equipped engines.
Emission control technology has increased soot loading of diesel oils, prompting original equipment manufacturers to shorten drain interval recommendations. Even at increased soot levels, AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils continue to offer outstanding wear protection. Soot and iron wear levels were measured over 900 hours of operation in a 2002 EGR-equipped Mack LE613-Rear Loader running AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. As seen in the graph, even at increased soot levels, the rate of engine wear remained well below the Mack condemnation limit of 0.5 parts per million per hour (ppm/h).
Owner/Operator Experiences Significant Fuel Savings with AMSOIL
Dear AMSOIL:
I have been using AMSOIL 15W40 AME Diesel Engine Oil and the AMSOIL Dual-Guard By-Pass Filtration System, along with used oil analysis, for nearly three years. My 1997 Mack CH613 had 176,000 miles on it when I began using AMSOIL motor oil and the Dual-Guard System. At the time I bought this truck, the company I am leased to bought a number of identical trucks for their fleet. All of these trucks operate in much the same way, including operating environment, type of haul, etc. These trucks also have a dash mounted digital display of the lifetime average fuel economy. At this time my truck’s average is 6.78 MPG, and the company trucks range from 5.8 to 6.2 MPG. The difference between 6.78 and a fleet average of 6 MPG is over 11 percent. That is significant savings, and the major difference here is I use AMSOIL Diesel and the company trucks use conventional oil! Not only do I save on fuel but I buy significantly less diesel oil!
Both the full flow and by-pass filters are changed regularly, and at each 20,000 mile interval, an oil sample is taken to monitor the oil’s condition. Currently, I have 412,000 miles on this truck, the last 236,000 without an oil change. The oil analysis from Oil Analyzers, Inc. reports the oil is suitable for continued use and the engine runs great.

Use Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate to Restore Fuel Lubricity
Fuel sulfur regulation began in October of 1993, decreasing from 5,000 ppm to 500 ppm in order to meet 1994 particulate regulations.
In order to meet 2007 particulate regulations, 15 ppm ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) was implemented June 2006. While reducing the level of sulfur in diesel fuel effectively reduces emissions, it also reduces lubricity, increasing wear on fuel pumps and injectors. AMSOIL Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate (ADF) effectively restores lubricity, to protect pumps and injectors from wear. In addition, Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate effectively reduces emissions and provides outstanding fuel system cleanliness and corrosion and sludge inhibition.
ADC keeps passages and orifices open and allows improved fuel flow, fuel atomization and combustion for improved fuel economy and power.
• Improves fuel economy
• Increases fuel stability
• Improves cold fuel flow
• Controls injector wear
• Extends fuel pump and injector life
• Reduces emissions
• Improves cold startability
Turbodiesel Owners
Rely on AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Engine Oils to cut costs and most of all, reduce expensive down time. Our synthetic diesel oil is specifically designed to neutralize soot and oxidants which lead to corrosion and viscosity fluctuations. Use Oil Analysis and extend your expensive diesel changes at least twice as long, cut fuel use, and add years to your engine. Trust 39 years of AMSOIL satisfied customers! For your 2007 and earlier diesel, start with the AMSOIL AME Diesel Oil which is still one of our best selling products.
The Amsoil Heavy Duty Diesel 5W30 resists breakdown from heat, oxygen and blowby chemicals up to ten times longer than conventional oils. More importantly, the HDD resists forming sludge and varnish deposits which causes decreased fuel efficiency and wear.
The main difference between this product and all others is it retains its viscosity over extended drain intervals rather than thicken.
In addition to the above, the AMSOIL HDD 5W30 Diesel provides better protective film at extreme temperatures than currently available SAE 40 oils. You really get what you pay for with this product. We sell this product to more owner operators as they are more concerned about the life, long term expenses and efficiency of their engines not to mention the advantages of less down time thanks to extended intervals.
Although the AME 15W40 Synthetic Diesel oil is AMSOIL’s best selling product by a wide margin, the AMSOIL HDD Series 3000 5W30 Synthetic Diesel oil is a better product. It does cost significantly more but it’s the best product.
Most of my customers start with the 15W40 as that is what the manual calls for, the climate demands that or it’s the choice as they run heavy loads. The 5W30 confuses many diesel owners as they believe it may be too light of a weight for their use, but because of the synthetic nature or our product there is no compromise to any wear surface. the intense sheer strength and lubricity of this product is the ultimate solution to modern high temp, excessive load, turbocharged diesel engines. If you own your diesel, want to increase the mileage and serviceable life, the 5W30 HDD is the best choice. Call 1-800-579-0580 for pricing.
