Perhaps you’ve heard our slogan: Specialized Lubricants Engineered for What You Drive and How You Drive.® But what does that really mean? Specialized how? Isn’t motor-oil performance measured on a simple continuum from worst to best? Not quite. Different vehicles endure different challenges depending on their design and usage. AMSOIL engineers motor oil to target those unique conditions and maximize power, performance and protection.
Here’s an overview of the AMSOIL gasoline motor-oil lines, including what makes them specialized and who they’re designed for.
