Synthetic oil additives run the gambit from detergents and dispersants to anti-rust and anti-corrosion compounds. They work together to keep your engine running optimally from year to year.

Stop changing your oil every few months and save time and money. Protect your engine and make it last long with Amsoil! Prevent costly repairs and protect your engine from harsh weather. Amsoil synthetic with our top of the line high tech filters will prevent contaminants from entering your engine preventing mechanical breakdown. We know you love your car or truck so treat it right and switch over to the best synthetic oil on the market that is a full synthetic and not a blend like some of those brands on the shelf at the big retail stores. Other oils may not be fully synthetic and forget about regular or convention oil because they do not come close to synthetics! Also, it is false that using any synthetic oil brand will void your warranty.
