Signature Series Delivers Powerful Protection
AMSOIL delivers powerful protection. How good is it? An independent lab compared AMSOIL synthetic motor oil head-to-head against a leading competitor in a 100,000-mile test.P AMSOIL provided far superior wear protection and kept bearings looking like new.
PTesting conducted in an independent lab using AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil and a leading synthetic-blend 5W-30 motor oil in Ford F-150 trucks with 3.5L twin-turbo engines.
Signature Series Protects Against LSPI
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils achieved 100% protection against LSPI.B

BBased on zero LSPI events in five consecutive tests of AMSOIL Signature Series, XL and OE 5W-30 Motor Oil in the LSPI engine test required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
Signature Series 0W-16 Resists Viscosity Increase
Signature Series is barely challenged by the industry-standard testing, demonstrating only a 0.1% viscosity increase. Even when the test length is doubled, AMSOIL delivered twice the viscosity control required by the standard.GG

Reviews
Better running engine and less oil burning than Mobil 1.
By JERAMEY, a Verified Buyer from Illinois on July 02, 2024
Very pleased with Amsoil. It’s expensive but it has less evaporative loss and it’s still new looking at 1500 miles. I still wouldn’t recommend going over 5 to 7000 miles on any oil
Amsoil For Life! Period!
By JOSEPH, a Verified Buyer from New York on June 27, 2024
I recently had the little 5.3 L83 in my 15 Silverado freshened up with goodies from BTR, Frankenstein, GM Performance and the list goes on. Engine Dyno’d at 450 whp. At 8,000 RPM. I was using mobile 1 oil but at high rpm it didn’t feel smooth so I rarely got on it. Until I changed to the Amsoil Signature Series OW-20. Now I do multiple pulls to 8,000 a day and the engine runs smooth as glass, also haven’t been burning as much E85 either. I’ll never use an other oil again and can’t wait to change my transmission fluid to Amsoil as well. Performance oil! Insane!
Like new car!

Great product, used in both of my vehicles. Really made a big difference in the valve train noise!! Much quieter and runs smoother.
Slippery in all the right places
By JOHN, a Verified Buyer from Arizona on April 23, 2024
It gets and stays hot where I live. It is also dusty much of the time. So I have to know my engine is getting what it needs to prolong life. Ever since I watched Gail Banks three part tour of the Wisconsin plant, I have come to know that I am using the best lubrication in all my vehicles including a fifteen year old bagger. Using Amsoil is the poor man’s insurance policy!
