Improve Fuel EconomyImprove Fuel EconomyWith gasoline and diesel prices continually climbing and setting record highs, improved fuel economy has become a top priority for people and businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy equipment in their daily operations. In addition to providing superior protection and performance, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, gear lubes, transmission fluids, air filters and fuel additives can have a profound impact on fuel economy, presenting Dealers with another solid marketing angle when presenting AMSOIL products to customers. Synthetic LubricantsAMSOIL synthetic motor oils, gear lubes and transmission fluids effectively improve fuel efficiency through reduced friction (fluid friction and friction between moving parts), superior thermal and oxidative stability and resistance to volatility.Fluid FrictionRefined petroleum-based lubricants are composed of irregular molecules of various sizes. As they slip across each other, excess friction is created. The vehicle’s engine must burn extra fuel to overcome this friction, decreasing fuel economy. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, on the other hand, contain only smooth, uniform molecules that easily slip across each other, reducing internal friction within the lubricant, allowing fuel to be diverted from the task of overcoming friction to reaching the drivetrain, decreasing overall fuel consumption.
