100% Synthetic PAO Formulated Basestock Technology Makes AMSOIL Best in Synthetics
As AMSOIL grew and branched out into the synthetic diesel oil, two-cycle oil and transmission fluid markets, competing oil companies took notice and began producing their own synthetic variations to complement their product lines. Although these synthetic products easily outperformed most conventional oils, the lower priced synthetic base stocks and additive packages could not match the performance of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils. The majority of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are formulated with polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base stocks. PAO base stocks offer unsurpassed protection and performance and are widely recognized as the industry's premier base stock technology. Unlike conventional base stocks, PAO base stocks contain fully saturated, hydrogenated molecules that are free of wax and impurities, allowing superior performance in temperature extremes, oxidation and acid resistance and clean operation. Synthetic oils formulated with less expensive synthetic base stocks also offer performance benefits over conventional oils, but they cannot match the performance of PAOs for the high standards required for AMSOIL synthetic motor oils. AMSOIL specializes exclusively in synthetic lubricant technology, optimizing the most advanced chemistries available to formulate the best lubricants on the market. Top-of-the-line PAO base stocks, along with select esters, combined with premium additive packages, allow AMSOIL motor oils to deliver superior protection and performance in temperature extremes, resist oxidation and acid formation and provide unsurpassed wear protection for extended drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30 and 5W-30 Motor Oils now have new and exciting carton designs, featuring bold colors, exciting graphics and the words "Breakthrough Technology." The new "Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated" badge is prominently displayed, boldly informing customers that AMSOIL motor oils are blended with the industry's most advanced technology. SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS WHAT ARE THEY The production of many synthetic lubricants begin with base stocks which are synthesized from high volume hydrocarbon intermediates. For example, AMSOIL polyalphaolefin (PAO) base fluids are synthesized from ethylene. Others synthetics however, start with very basic raw material. There are five specific categories of base oils.These categories define the type of base stock the oil is formulated from. The categories are as follows. Note that the base oil group category is followed by the manufacturing method (in bold print) and then a description of the oil characteristics for each category. Group I - Solvent Freezing: Group 1 base oils are the least refined of all the groups. They are usually a mix of different hydrocarbon chains with little or no uniformity. While some automotive oils on the market use Group I stocks, they are generally used in less demanding applications. Group II - Hydro processing and Refining: Group II base oils are common in mineral based motor oils currently available on the market. They have fair to good performance in lubricating properties such as volatility, oxidative stability and flash/fire points. They have only fair performance in areas such as pour point, cold crank viscosity and extreme pressure wear. Group – III Hydro processing and Refining: Group III base oils are subjected to the highest level of mineral oil refining of the base oil groups. Although they are not chemically engineered, they offer good performance in a wide range of attributes as well as good molecular uniformity and stability. They are commonly mixed with additives and marketed as synthetic or semi-synthetic products. Group III base oils have become more common in America in the last decade. Group IV -Chemical Reactions: Group IV base oils are chemically engineered synthetic base stocks. Polyalphaolefins (PAO's) synthetics, when combined with additives, offer excellent performance over a wide range of lubricating properties. They have very stable chemical compositions and highly uniform molecular chains. Group IV base oils are becoming more common in synthetic and synthetic-blend products for automotive and industrial applications.The future belongs to the Group IV basestocks (AMSOIL Synthetic Oils are Group IV Polyalphaolefins). Group V - As Indicated: Group V base oils are used primarily in the creation of oil additives. Esters and polyolesters are both common Group V base oils used in the formulation of oil additives. Group V oils are generally not used as base oils themselves, but add beneficial properties to other base oils. Note that the additives referred to in the Group V description are not aftermarket type oil additives. The additives referred to are used in the chemical engineering and blending of motor oils and other lubricating oils by the specific oil company that produces the finished product. AMSOIL INC. has been the leader in synthetic motor oil formulation since its introduction of the world’s first API rated synthetic motor oil in 1972. By specializing exclusively in synthetic lubricant technology, AMSOIL is able to optimize the most advanced chemistries available. The “Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated” designation displayed on AMSOIL packaging indicates that the oils are formulated with Polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base stocks. This chemistry is the industry’s premier base stock technology. Unlike conventional mineral-based chemistries, AMSOIL PAO base stocks contain fully saturated, hydrogenated molecules and are free of wax and other impurities. Combined with an exact balance of premium additives, it delivers superior hot and cold temperature performance, resists oxidation and acid formation and provides long-term wear protection. AMSOIL “Genuine Synthetic PAO Formulated” oils have shattered the parameters of the most rigorous industry testing and set the standard for all other motor oils.
