Environment

Amsoil is The Right Environmental Choice.

Consider this: In 1993 an estimated 189.5 million motorized vehicles were on the road in the United States alone, and an estimated 700 million motorized vehicles were in operation throughout the World. If, by petroleum oil manufacturer's recommendations, these vehicles have their oil changed every 3,000 miles on an average 5 quart system, almost 1 billion quarts of used oil will be generated EACH MONTH! It is also estimated that over 240 million gallons of oil are improperly discarded annually. This is almost the same as two Exxon Valdez spills each month.

Where does all the Oil Go?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy:

1.) 40% is dumped on the ground or down the sewer.

2.) 21% is thrown out with the trash, ending up in landfills.

3.) 6% is burned.

4.) 19% is reused for miscellaneous purposes.

5.) 14% is recycled.

Greater Fuel Economy

The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of Amsoil synthetic lubricants has been proven to increase fuel economy by 2 to 5 %. Amsoil reduces friction and allows your engine to use its heat energy more efficiently.

How much is a 5% Savings in Fuel?

The average person drives slightly more than 10,000 miles each year. A 5% savings in fuel gives you more than $18.00 in savings a year (assuming you get 30 mpg, at $1.10 per gallon)

"Each month, petroleum products emit the equivalent of an 'oil spill' into the Los Angeles Basin's air as massive as the 10-million-gallon spill from the Exxon Valdez, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District" (Truckers' News magazine)

Worldwide Vehicle Population:

1970: 245 million

1985: 520 million

2000 (est.): 800 million

If, in the year 2000, these vehicles change oil 3 times each year and have 5-quart systems, 1 billion quarts of waste oil will be generated each month.

Here's a hypothetical question.

Each year, Americans consume 640 million gallons of motor oil. Even if we just went from your 3,000-mile interval to a 5,000-mile interval, that'd save 256 million gallons of oil. Most estimates for oil recycling peg the amount of recycled motor oil at no better than half, so even with the most generous estimate we'd still save 128 million gallons of oil pollution. In other words, if everyone increased their oil change interval by 2,000 miles, we'd save the nation the equivalent of 13 Exxon Valdez accidents each year.

Isn't that a worthwhile goal?
