Automotive and lubricant technology evolve together in a kind of dance; as one partner moves, the other follows. If they fall out of step, things can go wrong. Think of the emergence of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and how motor oil technology advanced to control the problem. Vehicle trends also evolve, such as the rise of hybrid vehicles in recent years. Keeping pace with the market requires us to keep a close eye on new vehicle trends and technology and respond with products that meet the moment.

“AMSOIL continues to fill market needs,” said AMSOIL Product Marketing Manager – Automotive Alex Thompson. “We continue to monitor the market and develop products to meet vehicle trends.”

The two latest additions to our product line are AMSOIL Signature Series 0W- 16 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (AZS) and OE 0W-40 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (OEG).

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-16 100% Synthetic Motor Oil

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-16 100% Synthetic Motor Oil primary applications are currently Toyota* and Honda* vehicles.

“It’s been a popular request to offer the best in wear protection for non-hybrid 0W-16 engines,” explained Thompson. “Signature Series is great for any Toyota or Honda calling for 0W-16.”

Signature Series is engineered for enthusiasts seeking maximum protection and performance. It’s precision formulated with cutting-edge technology to provide engine protection that outperforms the highest industry standards.

AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-16 100% Synthetic Motor Oil

• 75% more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear.¹
• 28% more acid-neutralizing power than Mobil 1.²
• Protects turbochargers 72% better than required³ by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
• 50% more cleaning power vs. AMSOIL OE Motor Oil.
• Trusted by professional engine builders.
• Guaranteed protection for up to 25,000 miles (40,200 km) or one year.

The Signature Series line is now available in 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-40 and 5W-50 viscosities.

AMSOIL OE 0W-40 100% Synthetic Motor Oil

OE 100% Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to meet the demands of advanced automotive technology. The 0W-40 viscosity is primarily for newer RAM* 6.4L Hemi* engines used in three-quarter-ton pickup trucks and larger HD fleet trucks. Common uses for these trucks include towing/hauling, camping, construction, lawn/landscape work and hotshot trucking. OE 0W- 40 meets the needs of price-sensitive fleet owners while providing advanced synthetic protection.

OE 0W-40 is not intended for Mopar* performance vehicles equipped with the 6.2L engine. These vehicles should run with the best protection out there, regardless of cost. Signature Series 0W-40 100% Synthetic Motor Oil (AZF) remains our recommendation for those vehicles.

AMSOIL OE 100% Synthetic Motor Oil is licensed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to meet and exceed the requirements commonly found in owner’s manuals. AMSOIL OE provides a 100% synthetic, pure chemical structure engineered to remove harmful contaminants and provide long-lasting engine protection and performance. It features an advanced detergent and dispersant additive package designed to protect against sludge and deposits, effectively delivering maximum engine cleanliness.

AMSOIL OE 0W-40 100% Synthetic Motor Oil

• Fights sludge and deposits with 100% synthetic formulation.
• 47% more wear protection⁴ than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
• 100% protection against LSPI⁵ in the engine test required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification.

The OE line is now available in 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 and 0W-40 viscosities.
