Is Synthetic Oil Really Better Than Conventional?

Image
  According to the experts a t  AMSOIL INC . , synthetic oil is now widely accepted as superior to conventional oil, making it a preferred choice for consumers and vehicle manufacturers. While they both serve the same fundamental purpose – reducing friction and wear – synthetic oil is engineered to deliver enhanced performance and protection. One of the most notable benefits of synthetic oil is its molecular and composition uniformity. Unlike conventional oil, which is refined from crude oil and contains natural impurities and inconsistent molecule sizes, synthetic oil is chemically engineered to have a more consistent molecular structure. The uniformity of synthetic oil allows it to change less in viscosity over a wider range of temperatures, aka, the oil’s viscosity index. A higher viscosity index can help deliver superior film strength for better protection under stress and flow more readily and efficiently to protect critical engine components better and faster.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil is Engineered for Extremes

Image
  Modern motorcycle engines are highly refined and benefit from specifically engineered lubrication. For example, engines that spin up to 10,000 rpm or higher can cause oil to foam, reducing its ability to protect engine components. Motorcycle oils usually serve dual purpose as clutch lubrication and the shearing transmission forces can also reduce an oil’s lubricating ability, leading to notchy shifting. Additionally, touring and adventure bikes are built for long, cross-country trips that benefit from extended drain intervals. And the increased heat generated by compact, high-performance engines can rapidly accelerate oil breakdown, leading to deposit formation that robs motorcycle engines of efficiency and power. Protection and Performance The advanced technology in  AMSOIL Synthetic Metric Motorcycle Oil  is specifically engineered to deliver maximum performance to prevent oil breakdown under extreme heat and pressure. It promotes smooth,   consistent shifting an...
