AMSOIL Synthetic Technology Saves Small Engines From Early Retirement

The simplicity of four-cycle lubrication systems practically requires advanced lubrication technology. Many of these systems do not include an oil filter, so changing the oil periodically is the only way to remove wear causing particles.

A petroleum oil in a small engine has the same limitations and defects as petroleum in automotive uses: it breaks down under high temperatures and high RPM's. In four-cycle engines, the effects of conventional oil breakdown are even more destructive than they are in automotive engines because of the small engine's lack of oil filtration. In small engines, the oil dispersants must keep contaminants and wear particles suspended in the oil until it is eventually drained.

When petroleum oil breaks down it doesn't take very long before these cleaning additives are depleted. Once the dispersants are gone, contaminants start dropping out of the oil, causing deposits and sludge build-up. Premature engine wear is the result.

The thermal and oxidative stability of AMSOIL synthetic motor oils make them ideal for the high heat and RPMs of four-cycle engines. They safely hold contaminants in suspension and their superior ability to reduce friction and wear keeps engines in top condition. As an added bonus, AMSOIL motor oils contain an advanced rust-prevention additive package that keeps protecting engines against condensation and water even when you're not using them. Stop Dirt From "Sandpapering" Your Engine. Considering that lawn and garden equipment is operated in dusty, dirty environments, an inefficient air filter can be a major source of engine wear, and less than optimum air filters are often standard equipment on these machines.

The life span of an engine can be shortened dramatically when it is fed a steady supply of dirt that "sandpapers" vital engine components. Plus, the more dirt that gets into your oil, the more oil dispersants are used up fighting them.

The AMSOIL POD Air Filter is "fresh air therapy" for hard working four cycle engines. The POD is reusable. Just wash, oil and reinstall the filter to ensure your engine gets an interrupted flow of clean intake air for better combustion and longer engine life. PDF Lawn & Garden Brochure

2-Cycle Equipment

Two-cycle engines are the workhorses of the lawn and garden world. They power a variety of equipment, from trimmers and blowers, to lawnmowers, tillers and chainsaws. Due to their small size and high revving operation, these little engines are also among the most abused, neglected and needful of superior lubrication.

Because two-cycle engines need an oil that will cool and lubricate under the most stressful operating conditions, AMSOIL developed special 100:1 pre-mix and AMSOIL two-cycle injector oils.
AMSOIL synthetic two-cycle oils provide protection and performance far beyond what lawn and garden consumers have experienced with conventional petroleum products.

All AMSOIL synthetic lubricants demonstrate outstanding abilities to withstand even the worst heat. They also offer better cold weather performance, and significantly reduce friction between moving parts for cooler operation and less wear Reduce Emissions--Use AMSOIL! Some small engines that use petroleum oil can overcome common problems which plague petroleum lubricated two cycle engines: combustion by-products.

Because gas and oil are mixed and burned together in two cycle engines, conventional two cycle oils usually produce an exhaust of thick blue-white smoke. AMSOIL synthetic two cycle oils are formulated with ashless chemistries, which, in addition to being mixed leaner in the gas, make these oils clean burning. This reduces plug fouling, exhaust smoke, smell and pollution, and improves engine performance. The advantages of using AMSOIL add up: improved protection, performance, economy and engine cleanliness.
