Cheating the manufacturers planned obsolescence

Amsoil owns the trademark for the phrase “First in Synthetics” because of this. The Fine Mist Sprayer Suppliers thing is that most people don’t know is that Amsoil is the only company that makes motor oil last up to an incredible 1-year or 35,000 miles and has been doing this since 1972. This oil is guaranteed in writing.If fully synthetic oils can last up to 11x longer and can virtually eliminate wear in your drive train, then what are the benefits of using conventional oil?Well, not a whole heck of a lot. Their initial low cost gets people to buy them.
Using it for engine break-in to help seat valves and other components during the first several hundred miles. Other than that, itÂ’s actually costing you a lot of money to keep using conventional oil. Look what happens to a transmission once you put high mileage on it while using conventional transmission fluid. You can end up spending $1,500, $2,000 or even more on rebuilding a transmission on a passenger car. If you would have had used a fully synthetic transmission fluid which resists heat and break down of molecules, you could potentially eliminate that need for a transmission rebuild. For every 20 degrees above 175 degrees, your transmission life is CUT IN HALF! When facing up to $2,000 on a repair bill, do you really want to risk that chance by sticking with old school crude oil?Other savings of switching to synthetics are the fuel mileage increase that most everyone notices. I will give you an example in my own personal vehicle. I was initially getting 22 MPG on the highway with my car with conventional oils. I switched over my engine, transmission and rear differential over to Amsoil's synthetics.
Afterwards, I realized a gain of 4 MPG due to the reduced friction of the synthetics. I paid approximately $250 (including labor costs) to have all of my fluids changed over. That change over lasts up to 1 year on the oil and several years for the other fluids. At the time of my tests, fuel was $3.19/gallon for premium that I was using. That same $250 is close to what I would pay for a yearÂ’s worth of oil changes at a quick lube for conventional oil, but with conventional oil, IÂ’d still be getting 22 MPG, not the 4 MPG increase from synthetics.When driving 2,000 miles per month at 22 MPG, that comes out to 90 gallons of fuel per month.With the increase in gas mileage to 26 MPG, the same 2,000 miles per month now only uses 76 gallons of fuel. ThatÂ’s $44 per month that I saved right there. $44 x 12 months = $535 per year in fuel savings.ThatÂ’s not too bad of an investment. Not only am I saving money on the fuel (actually saving more at the pump than I paid for all of the oil, which basically makes the oil free when you do the math), I am also saving on time because the oil changes last up to 1 year or 35,000 miles before I have to get them drained.
Not to mention the fact that I am cheating the manufacturers planned obsolescence of my vehicle. By using the 100% fully synthetics, my drive train will now last much longer than what the manufacturer designed it to last for. And to thinkÂ… thatÂ’s just for me. Imagine if I owned a company with a fleet of vehicles. How much money would I save then? Our governments could save millions of dollars if they sat down and ran the numbers in spreadsheets to figure out savings over time. ThatÂ’s millions of dollars of our hard earned tax dollars being saved. Think of all of the police cars and utility vehicles that the governments currently use that could keep going for an extra few years before getting rid of them as long as their engines ran like new (which they typically do when using synthetic oils in the drive trains.) Those long-term benefits and savings are not thought about when using conventional oil.LetÂ’s look at how much oil is saved on an annual basis. If I drove 1 year on 6 quarts of fully synthetic oil for 24,000 miles, if I would have done it the old way, I would have had to get 8 oil changes and use up 48 quarts of oil to travel the same distance. ThatÂ’s 48 quarts of oil imported from another country. By using the fully synthetic oil, I have saved the country 48 quarts of oil that I did not have to use for the year.But how many people drive 24,000 miles in a year? LOTS! With the crazy prices of homes, people have been moving farther and farther out to the suburbs. Over 50% of the people are driving more than 1 hour to get to work just to live in affordable housing. If everyone stopped using conventional oil for their cars, the demand would go down and the price of fuel would most likely plummet. If gas prices went down like crazy, then the sales of large SUVÂ’s such as Hummers, Chevy TahoeÂ’s and Ford Expeditions would probably dramatically increase.
