Benefits
Outstanding Wear Protection
AMSOIL OE Synthetic Motor Oil provides excellent wear protection and helps prevent damage to key engine components such as pistons and camshafts. This added protection is particularly important in harsh environments and for vehicles with smaller engines that use low-viscosity oils, which can lead to increased wear at the crankshaft and result in poor valve timing performance—ultimately causing expensive repairs.
In the Peugeot TU3M Wear Test (CEC L-38-A-94), which must be passed to meet the GM dexos1® Gen 2 specification (a benchmark for oil performance and wear limits), AMSOIL OE Synthetic Motor Oil showed 47% better protection than the minimum requirement during the 100-hour test on a 4-cylinder engine under severe wear conditions.
Prevention of LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition)
AMSOIL OE Synthetic Motor Oil features a unique chemical formulation that protects your engine from LSPI—an early ignition event that commonly affects modern turbocharged direct-injection engines. LSPI can cause severe damage to pistons and cylinders. AMSOIL has specially formulated its oil to reduce LSPI risk, and the OE line achieved 100% success in the GM dexos1 Gen 2 test with zero LSPI events in five consecutive trials.
Cleaner Engine
AMSOIL OE Synthetic Motor Oil is made with 100% pure synthetic base oils and is engineered to remove harmful contaminants. Synthetic oils resist chemical breakdown, which helps prevent sludge buildup. The formula includes additives that clean and disperse debris, allowing the oil to effectively eliminate sludge and soot for a cleaner engine.
Superior Protection
With advanced synthetic base oils and additives, AMSOIL OE is ideal for today’s engines. It performs well under high temperatures, resists sludge, and maintains its volume over extended use. Its consistent molecular structure allows it to remain fluid at low temperatures, ensuring easier cold starts and rapid lubrication to reduce wear during startup.
Fuel Efficiency & Lower Emissions
AMSOIL OE meets API SP (Resource Conserving) standards, focusing on reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency. It supports the latest emissions control systems and helps prolong the life of catalytic converters in modern vehicles.
