Less Oil Used
Most automobile manufacturers recommend oil drain intervals of 3,000 to 6,000 miles for petroleum motor oils. AMSOIL recommends up to a 35,000-mile oil change which is 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes. Just think about the saving on the environment if, for example, the 243 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States were equipped with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils. Assuming an average service-life of 100,000 miles and an oil capacity of 5 quarts each, 20.2 billion to 40.5 billion quarts of used oil will be generated during a regular service lifetime (with regular oil changes every 3,000 to 6,000 miles).
If 40.5 billion quarts of used oil were put into 55-gallon barrels and lined up, the line would stretch from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and back 12 times. Alternatively, if each of those 243 million cars was equipped with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils and following oil drain intervals of 7,500 to 35,000 miles, only 3.5 billion to 16.2 billion quarts of oil would be consumed in the same period. That is a reduction of anywhere from 4 to 37 billion quarts of oil, just by switching to AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils.
