AMSOIL Products Save Money
Introduction
The uninformed have always assumed that AMSOIL synthetic lubricants were more expensive
than conventional products. It is true that the initial cost is higher than most
petroleum-based products, but an investment in AMSOIL synthetic lubricants is an
investment in your business. AMSOIL saves businesses money by improving fuel economy,
reducing maintenance costs and downtime, and extending drain intervals.
Reduced Maintenance
Because AMSOIL lubricants are superior to conventional products, equipment maintenance
is needed less often. The unsurpassed protection, cleaning and cooling properties
of AMSOIL keep moving parts looking and working like new, reducing equipment malfunctions
and failures.
Extended Drain Intervals
Extended drain intervals are key to improving
bottom lines. Changing fluids less
often means buying them less often. It also means equipment is in the shop less
often, reducing maintenance needs and downtime and improving efficiency.

Less maintenance and extended drains mean less downtime, and less downtime means
equipment is working more often and getting more done. It also means less time spent
working on equipment when there are other things to be done.
Longer Lasting Equipment
AMSOIL products improve equipment’s durability because they provide superior protection.
Less wear, stress and strain on moving parts allows equipment to last longer, reducing
replacement costs.
Better Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is becoming more important with each passing year. Gas and diesel prices
keep rising, putting a major strain on businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy
equipment in their daily operations. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants improve fuel economy
by allowing moving parts to move more freely,
using less energy and creating less
friction than when conventional lubricants are used. The use of AMSOIL synthetic
motor oil, gear lubes and
transmission fluids can have a profound impact on fuel
economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption
by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers
report
even larger gains in fuel economy. Doesn’t seem like much? Imagine a fleet
of 100 class 8 vehicles running an average 120,000 miles per year at an average
6.5 mpg with diesel fuel at $4.29
a gallon. Using those numbers, the fleet spends $7,920,000.00 on fuel annually. A switch to AMSOIL products improves the fleet’s
mpg by 4 percent, reducing fuel costs to $7,603,200.00. That’s a savings of $316,800.00,
enough for 73,846 gallons of fuel. Read More
Waste Oil Disposal
Extended drain intervals also prevent the disposal of additional waste oil. Disposing
of used oil is typically costly and barrels of used oil take up a great deal of
space in the shop. A fleet of 60 vehicles using conventional oil and conventional
oil change intervals produces 1,080 gallons of waste oil every year. By switching
to AMSOIL, that same fleet would produce only 360 gallons of waste oil per year.
Less waste oil means lower disposal costs, more shop
space and a cleaner environment.
Money Saved
The most important aspect of these benefits is that they save businesses money.
Better fuel economy, reduced maintenance, longer lasting equipment, less money spent
on oil and less waste oil all provide significant savings.
Gasoline Engine Case Study With Guardian Pest Control
See how switching to AMSOIL has saved one company tens of thousands of dollars
per year.
Guardian Pest Control is a family-owned and operated firm located
in Duluth, Minn. The company offers programs and services to residential, commercial
and industrial clients that include integrated pest management, organic pest management,
rodent control, bird management and many more. Guardian’s fleet of over 60 vehicles
provides service to urban and rural areas in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan’s
Upper Peninsula and the eastern Dakotas. The varied levels of severe service Guardian’s
trucks face on a daily basis made them an obvious choice for a field study. Using
conventional petroleum oil and conventional oil drain intervals, changing oil in
its entire fleet cost Guardian $11,505.60 per year, not counting labor. After switching
to AMSOIL synthetic motor oils, changing oil in the same fleet costs Guardian only
$7,659.00 per year, without labor. That’s a savings of $3,846.60 per year on oil
costs alone. The Gasoline Engine Case Study With Guardian Pest Control (G2244) provides
details on the study and demonstrates how switching to AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils
has saved Guardian Pest control tens of thousands of dollars on a yearly basis.
