Perfect Pairing:Signature Series Motor Oil and Ea® Oil Filters

Combining premium motor oil with a premium oil filter is necessary for total engine protection.

Complete engine protection is a team sport. The long-term effectiveness of a quality motor oil is often hindered by poor filtration. At the same time, the superior capabilities of a premium oil filter remain unrealized when combined with a sub-par motor oil. A pairing of top-quality oil and filtration is required for best results, especially with the advanced technology found in modern vehicles.

Protecting the Latest Technology

Variable Valve Timing (VVT)

The majority of vehicles rolling off the assembly line today feature variable valve timing (VVT). Every component in the system must function properly in order to advance or retard valve timing at the correct intervals. The solenoid pictured, from a 3.5L Ford* EcoBoost* engine, contains openings .007 of an inch across, which is about the thickness of two sheets of paper. The slightest amount of deposits in these openings can restrict oil flow and negatively affect the system.

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil resists deposits and sludge, while the superior efficiency of Ea Oil Filters traps and holds any existing deposits that could compromise VVT components.

Turbochargers

Turbochargers are predicted to be in most new passenger cars/light trucks by 2020. This technology increases engine efficiency and performance, but at the cost of elevated engine temperatures. Low-quality motor oil increases the risk for high-temperature bearing deposits that lead to reduced turbocharger performance or failure.

Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil protects against harmful deposits on turbochargers 4X better than Mobil 1® Extended Performance and 3.6X better than Royal Purple® in industry-standard testing**. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are engineered to maintain the higher oil flow rate of modern engines, sending the appropriate amount of filtered oil to the turbocharger’s vital bearing. Bearing clearances, in general, have become tighter, making filter efficiency even more important to prevent engine damage.

Tag Team Protection

Working in tandem, AMSOIL Signature Series Motor Oil and AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters provide complete engine protection. Signature Series Motor Oil withstands the rigors of extreme heat and resists deposits and sludge, while Ea Oil Filters provide the capacity and efficiency that today’s advanced engine components require.

The Long Run

Turbochargers and VVT systems are here to stay. AMSOIL products are uniquely positioned to meet the challenges they present.
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil

Provides 75 percent more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear than required by a leading industry standard ***
Maximum cleanliness
Exceptional extreme-temperature protection

AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters

Filtering efficiency of 98.7 percent at 20 microns
Greater capacity than competing filter brands
Maximum efficiency without restricting flow
Extended service life

VVT solenoids often contain tiny oil-flow passages that can easily clog with deposits if maintenance is neglected or low-quality oil or filters are used.

Don’t worry about the extra weight

Many people overstress their vehicles in the summer, pulling trailers, campers or fifth-wheels with boats, sometimes exceeding their rated towing limits. Severe-service conditions and hot summer temperatures place extreme pressure on transmissions and differentials.

Modern turbo diesel trucks and vehicles with V-10 engines boast more horsepower and torque than their predecessors, subjecting their differentials to increased levels of stress and heat. Gear oils must provide adequate wear protection, while also providing maximum fuel efficiency.

Thermal Runaway

The extreme pressures and temperatures generated by modern vehicles can lead to a serious condition known as thermal runaway. As temperatures in the differential climb upward, gear lubricants lose viscosity and load-carrying capacity. When extreme loads break the lubricant film, metal-to-metal contact occurs, increasing friction and heat. This increased friction and heat, in turn, results in further viscosity loss, which further increases friction and heat. As heat spirals upward, viscosity spirals downward. Thermal runaway is a vicious cycle that leads to irreparable equipment damage and ultimately catastrophic gear and bearing failure.

The AMSOIL “Tow Package”

AMSOIL Severe Gear^® Synthetic Gear Lube (SVG, SVT, SVO) and Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF, ATL) provide maximum protection in demanding environments such as towing, hauling and commercial use, providing increased lubricant film protection and reduced wear at elevated temperatures.

Field Proven

Signature Series Synthetic Fuel-Efficient ATF was submitted for a field trial at an independent test facility to prove its ability to protect transmissions in the severe, high-heat environment generated in real-world towing scenarios.

A loaded trailer was towed on real highways and city streets throughout the trial. Signature Series ATF handled the punishment with ease. Throughout 115,000 miles in severe service – nearly 4x the manufacturer recommended severe-service drain interval – Signature Series ATF delivered outstanding protection for gears and clutches and maintained smooth shifts.

Severe Gear Synthetic Gear Lube (SVG, SVT, SVO)

Controls thermal runaway
Features superior film strength
Provides rust and corrosion protection
Helps reduce operating temperatures

Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF, ATL)

Specifically formulated for severe-service towing and heavy hauling
Delivers reserve protection against extreme heat
Maintains cold-temperature fluidity
Superior friction durability for smooth, reliable shifts

Portland Longshoreman

On a side note Sioux Falls drivers will want to know, Lubes & Greases magazine years ago published an article about how over 100 pieces of equipment were having transmission failures in the Portland Longshoreman fleet. In particular were the Allison equipped trucks and they tried several transmission fluids and additives to see if they could improve the transmission life-span and a common downtime issue of failures under warranty. As written in the article, AMSOIL was the last one on the list (Automatic Transmission fluid – Signature Series) and since using they haven’t had a single failure since!

Be sure to ask for our Las Vegas Taxi Cab Endurance Study on the Automatic Transmission Fluids. It will amaze you or just try AMSOIL in your vehicles and start reducing downtime and save on fuel now. If you are making payments on that truck or don’t want to have to buy the next years technology surprise, AMSOIL earns customers directly because of this knowledge of preserving the life of your drive train beyond typical ownership. And that can mean significant money saved.

Differential Stress – No Metal to Metal contact any longer!

The Severe gear in RV’s and Fifth wheel hauling trucks is known for actually netting more miles per hour on mountain roads. One customer of fame (Bobby Unser) quoted, “I switched to the Severe Gear 75W-90 and I could actually get about 7 more miles per hour out of the RV in the mountain road to our house than previously achieved.”

This is what you should expect with AMSOIL products and why our products sell!
