FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I need AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil?

It provides an added boost of detergents to clean up sludge and deposits left behind from prior use with a lower-quality oil. A robust viscosity provides additional wear protection even after some wear has occurred. Added seal conditioners extend the life of seals from drying, cracking and leaking.

When should I use AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil?

At or around the time your vehicle has 75,000 miles on it.

Do I need to use AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil if I’ve been using AMSOIL motor oil already?

No. If you’ve consistently used AMSOIL motor oil, your engine has been protected. That being said, if you have been using OE and would like to upgrade overall engine protection as it ages, AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil is an excellent choice.

I thought AMSOIL motor oil products were good for all mileage?

Correct, all AMSOIL motor oil will perform and protect well regardless of miles on the vehicle. However, for those looking for targeted benefits at an affordable price, AMSOIL High-Mileage Motor Oil is the best choice for high-mileage applications. For those seeking ultimate performance and protection regardless of miles, we still recommend Signature Series Motor Oil.

Why do I need Hybrid Motor Oil?

Hybrid engines operate under a different set of conditions that often result in additional fuel and water contamination — and that leads to corrosion. Due to their frequent stops and starts, their engines operate at lower temperatures. AMSOIL Hybrid Motor Oil is uniquely formulated to address these specific challenges.

When should I use Hybrid Motor Oil?

AMSOIL Hybrid motor oil is an excellent choice for any Hybrid Electric (HEV) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) regardless of miles or age of vehicle.

What if I’ve been using AMSOIL already in my Hybrid vehicle?

If you have been using AMSOIL products, your engine has received excellent protection. All AMSOIL PCMO products of the appropriate viscosity are compatible with hybrid technologies.
However, AMSOIL Hybrid Motor Oil has been engineered to focus on the unique challenges presented by hybrid vehicles and do it at an affordable price. If you have been using OE and are looking for an upgrade in hybrid engine protection, AMSOIL Hybrid Motor Oil is an excellent choice.
