Amsoil is better for the environment. Not only do we have non-toxic coolant, but also a longer lasting oil equates to less frequent oil changes per year. This results in less dumping of oil. Can you imagine if millions of people dumped less oil per year? Let's crunch some numbers. A vehicle that uses 4 quarts and lasts 1 year, that is 4,000,000 quarts that will be disposed across a sample of a million vehicles. Now if those same vehicles are changing the oil 4 times a year due to regular oil that lasts much less, that is 16 quarts disposed of a year or 16,000,000 quarts in a sample of 1 million vehicles. There are way more vehicles than this on the road. These numbers show way less oil disposed of and much less oil consumption.

Synthetic oil is a better choice than conventional oil or a blend for several reasons. First, it offers better engine protection in extreme temperatures and high-stress situations. Second, it lasts longer and requires fewer oil changes, making it a more cost-effective option in the long run. Third, it has a higher resistance to oxidation and engine deposits, keeping engines cleaner and more efficient. Fourth, it leads to better fuel economy and improved overall performance. Synthetic oil is also better for the environment, as it produces fewer emissions and creates less waste. Ultimately, choosing synthetic oil over conventional or blended oils is a smart investment for drivers looking to extend the life of their engines and enhance their vehicle's overall performance.

"I switched from Mobil One to AMSOIL Synthetic SAE5W-30 Motor Oil 3 years ago in my C5 Corvette and have found that subsequent oil changes at 5,000-mile intervals revealed much cleaner oil when drained than at the same interval with Mobile One." Real testimonial by James
