Typical Technical Properties:

Relevant ASTM test results are reported on AMSOIL product data
bulletins as "TYPICAL TECHNICAL PROPERTIES." Here is a guide to
typical technical properties for AMSOIL motor oils courtesy of AMSOIL
INC.

The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), founded in
1898, is a scientific and technical organization formed for the
development of standards on characteristics and performance of
materials and services.

ASTM is the world's largest source of voluntary consensus standards.

ASTM operates through a system of committees and subcommittees. Its
committees function in prescribed fields under regulations that ensure
balanced representation among producers, users, general interest and
consumer participants.

ASTM standards govern the majority of testing performed on motor oils
in North America.

KINEMATIC VISCOSITY

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-445 Standard Test Method for Kinematic
Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids

Significance & Use: The proper operation of equipment depends on the
proper kinematic viscosity at operating temperature of the oil used
for its lubrication.

What it means: Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a liquid's flow
under the influence of gravity. It's handy to think of a lubricant's
kinematic viscosity as its "I.D. card." AMSOIL formulates its
synthetic lubricants to tighter viscosity limits than other
manufacturers do, so AMSOIL synthetic lubricants' kinematic
viscosities are midrange, close to neither the high or the low limit.
That helps components work their best and helps the lubricants stay in
grade.

VISCOSITY INDEX

Test Number and Name: ASTM D-2270 Standard Practice for Calculating
Viscosity Index from Kinematic Viscosity at 40 deg. C. and 100 deg. C.

Significance & Use: Viscosity index indicates how much of a
lubricant's viscosity will change according to changes in temperature
between 40 deg. C (104 deg. F) and 100 deg. C (212 deg. F), which
roughly define the normal temperature range of most operations.

What it means: The smaller a lubricant's viscosity as a result of
temperature change, the higher that lubricant's viscosity index. High
viscosity index lubricants, such as AMSOIL products, protect better in
operations with temperature variations.

COLD CRANK SIMULATOR APPARENT VISCOSITY

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-2602 Standard Test Method for Apparent
Viscosity of Engine Oils at Low Temperature Using the Cold-Cranking
Simulator

Significance & Use: Apparent viscosity has been established as a valid
predictor of engine-cranking viscosities at specified low
temperatures. Apparent viscosity depends on temperature and shear
rate.

What it means: Cold cranking viscosity affects the startability of
engines and other equipment in cold temperatures. Low cold cranking
viscosities, such as those of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, make for
easier cold cranking and more dependable cold temperature starting.

BORDERLINE PUMPING TEMPERATURE

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-3829 Standard Test Method for Predicting
the Borderline Pumping Temperature of Engine Oil.

Significance & Use: Borderline pumping temperature is a measure of the
lowest temperature at which an engine oil can be continuously and
adequately supplied to the components of an automotive engine.

What it means: The lower the borderline pumping temperature, the lower
the temperature at which the engine is protected by circulating oil.
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils' extremely low borderline pumping
temperatures assure excellent low temperature protection.

POUR POINT

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-97 Standard Test Method for Pour Point of
Petroleum Oils

Significance and Use: The test determines the lowest temperature at
which an oil flows as the jar is tilted for a prescribed period. The
pour point of an oil indicates the lowest temperature at which an oil
may be used in some applications.

What it means: The lower the pour point, the more useful the lubricant
is in cold temperatures. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants offer
exceptionally low pour points.

FLASH AND FIRE POINTS

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-92 Standard Test Method for Flash and Fire
Points by Cleveland Open Cup.

Significance & Use: Flash point is the lowest temperature at which
application of a flame causes specimen vapors to ignite. Flash point
is used to assess the overall hazard of a material and is used in
shipping and safety regulations to define "flammable" and
"combustible" materials.

Fire point is the lowest temperature at which a specimen sustains
burning for five seconds.

What it means: Lubricants with high flash and fire points, such as
AMSOIL synthetic lubricants, are safer to use and transport than
lubricants with lower ones and have a greater high temperature
operating range.

NOACK VOLATILITY

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-5800 Determining the Evaporation Loss of
Lubricating Oils (Noack's Method)

Significance & Use: Test determines the evaporation loss of
lubricating oils at high temperature. Evaporation loss is particularly
important to motor and cylinder lubrication, due to the high
temperature of these operations and the tendency of evaporative loss
to increase in high temperatures. Significant evaporative loss of oil
leads to excessive oil consumption and destructive changes in oil
properties.

What it means: Lubricants with low Noack scores, such as AMSOIL
synthetic lubricants, lose less to volatility than lubricants with
higher scores. Low-loss oil keep their original protective and
performance qualities longer than high-loss oils do, which keeps oil
consumption low and fuel economy and equipment protection high.

HIGH TEMPERATURE/HIGH SHEAR VISCOSITY

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-4683 Standard Test Method for Measuring
Viscosity at High Temperature and High Shear Rate by Tapered Bearing
Simulator

Significance & Use: Viscosity at the shear rate and temperature of
this test is considered representative of the condition encountered in
the bearings of automotive engines in severe service. Lubricant
viscosity in the bearings of automotive engines in severe service is a
critical factor in bearing wear.

What it means: Lubricants with high scores, such as AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants, maintain their viscosity in high temperatures after
exposure to high shear. That means they continue to protect engine
bearings even after exposure to severe service conditions.

FOUR BALL WEAR TEST

Test Number & Name: ASTM D-4172B Standard Test Method for Wear
Preventive Characteristics of Lubricating Fluid (Four-Ball Method)

Significance & Use: Test method determines the relative wear
preventive properties of lubricants in sliding contact under the test
conditions. Lubricant comparisons are made by comparing the average
wear scars on three fixed balls made by one ball in rotating contact
with them in baths of the test lubricants.

What it means: The smaller the average wear scar, the better the
protection. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants deliver much smaller wear
scars- and much better protection- than other lubricants do.

The Four Ball Wear Test may be conducted at various levels of
severity. Independent laboratory testing shows AMSOIL Series 2000 and
Series 3000 motor oils' wear scars are significantly smaller than
those of popular competitor oils in extremely severe test conditions,
making these oils ideal for extreme service operations.

Summary: Compare AMSOIL's synthetic lubricants technical properties
with those of ANY other motor oil and you'll see exactly why we
say....when you compare, there is simply no comparison. AMSOIL out
performs them every time.

AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in synthetics......

Since 1972, AMSOIL Synthetics have proven to be the BEST. AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Super Duty Oil filters which have a 25,000 mile service life as well as specialized filtration systems for commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which can filter particles down to less than one micron (a standard full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns with any degree of efficiency) making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear. These filters have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet service.
