Motor Oil Info

Heat is a major cause of reduced equipment and lubricant life. The ability of drivetrain fluids to minimize operating temperatures can significantly extend both equipment and oil life.

In a study conducted by General Motors, it was determined that an Automatic Transmission Fluid operating temperture of 175f. would translate into a service life of 100,000 miles for an automatic transmission. That life would be reduced by 50 percent for every 20f. increase in fluid operating temperture. This demonstrates that small temperture changes can result in big differences in transmission life expectancy. The use of AMSOIL ATF can promote component longevity through reducing operating temperatures by as much as 15 to 30f. This particularly significant for applications equipped for towing or hauling heavy loads.
