REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL WITH AMSOIL
AMSOIL has 30+ years of oil analysis data showing their oils provide extended interval drain service capabilities. Big oil companies can't argue with that data or explain it away. They would prefer that you "buy into the myth" of 3k mile oil changes because it adds profits to their bottom line.
AMSOIL offers extended drain intervals because we start with superior base oils and and the additive package is properly balanced, blended, and capable of performing for extended drains.
Now the entire industry is moving in that direction. It has been published that automotive manufacturers will be recommending extended drain intervals of up to 15,000 miles in the near future (they already are in Europe) ... because that's what consumers want.
Amsoil's Extended Oil Drain Interval: It is the right thing to do for the consumer, for the environment, and a way to reduce american dependence on foreign oil.
Longer Drain Intervals = less oil used.

REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL WITH AMSOIL
Industry tests have shown improved fuel economy of 2 - 5% in vehicles using synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customer testimonials tell of even greater savings. If all cars in America used AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and drive train fluids, we would save enough fuel to eliminate our need for thousands of barrels of oil.
As mentioned earlier, there is another way to reduce oil usage. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are designed for extended drain intervals and reduce the amount of oil used by as much as 80%.
Fewer oil changes = less oil used.

Amsoil Extended Oil Drain Intervals
** 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations ...
... whichever comes FIRST, changing the oil filter every six months.
__________________________________________________
Due to Amsoil's superior synthetic composition and advanced performance additives, AMSOIL performs much longer than do conventional petroleum and other synthetic motor oils. No other major oil manufacturer matches AMSOIL's 25,000-mile or one-year drain interval recommendations (whichever comes FIRST, changing the filter every six months).
However, the 25,000 mile /1 year that is on the back of the bottle IS NOT an absolute! One must realize that is for non-severe service (highway miles where you have stable operating conditions) and that the indicated drain interval also has a time period of 1 year maximum as well.
Oil changes at 2 to 3 times manufacturers recommendations
Under a combination of city and highway circumstances, AMSOIL recommends up to 2 or 3 times longer oil change intervals, it means up to 2 or 3 times the equipment manufacturer's recommendation.
If your owners manual states 3k miles , then you can change at 9k, and if your owners manual states 5k then 12-15k changes would be alright based on driving habits ... the harder you drive, the sooner the change.
Proper filtration is also very important. AMSOIL SDF Oil Filters are designed for EXTENDED OIL DRAINS, but they must be changed at least every 6 months regardless of miles driven.
Notice: Modifications to engine will change service intervals.
Notice: More frequent service may be required under severe service operating conditions.
Notice: For drain interval beyond 3x manufacturers recommendations (especially the 25k change) --- Regular oil analysis is recommended for establishing drain intervals.
AMSOIL --- 30+ years of manufacturing oil and mountains of data, tests and used oil analysis make these clains possible.

i did some numbers with what you are proposing, and factured in a large dose of "most of the oil we use is not gasoline or truck fuel" that much is very true, and came up with this. If every possible vehicle in the US used only amsoil the amount of crude oil saved would be only .00031572 percentage points. that would amount to less then 2 gallons per person per year. just cutting your gras every other week instead of every week saves more.
Another AmsOil myth revealed.

Dear DeBunker you state "less then 2 gallons per person per year. just cutting your gras every other week instead of every week saves more."
Let’s take those 2 gallons per week per person. Multiply that by the 2000 U.S. census count of 281,421,906 which equals 562,843,812 gallons of crude per year. Hmmm, seems to be a pretty good savings. The motor oil companies need to get away from the 3000 mile myth and a few are marketing extended mileage motor oils.
I went through the oil embargo in the mid seventies with the long lines, rationing of gasoline and no gasoline. I for one do not want to go through that again. I often question the number of inside and outside lights left on all night at commercial business. Here again back in the day, businesses were limited on illumination after hours.
Steve’s information is one of many actions that WE can do to improve a worsening situation.

Because we're going to go through it very soon...maybe this summer. Watch as crude hits the $80.00-$90.00/barrel mark by July and supplies weaken.
Though not the same as an embargo, the effect is very much the same. But, de bunker is essentially right. If everybody switched to Amsoil, the net effect on our demand for foreign crude will be zero.
What brand of oil you use has nothing to do with our demand for crude. In fact, if you really want to ease your conscience than the only oil you should use is recycled oil, nothing else.

used motor oil is currently burned as fuel (recycled) in energy plants - eliminate this and they then buy and burn new fuel oil - net reduction in oil usage is zero.
cut the BS - dump the SUV - buy a 4 cyclinder diesel - 45 miles to a gallon - I did

hey we made the scrubbers to remove the smokestack pollution when used oil is burned.
They tried re-refining the used oil to use it again and it doesn;t work. too costly and you can't remove it all.
Seemed the best way to recycle it is to burn it instead of virgin oil and to use scrubbers to clean up the smoke. Heck we even burn mustard agent and remove the nasties from the smoke.
I agree if they don't have used oil to burn, they'll buy virgin oil to burn. So it doesn't matter how often you change oil as long as the used oil is recycled.
Heck we'll burn any oil, dino, syn, olive, cooking, veg, hyd whatever.

You BUM, or should I say DIPSH*T.
He did his math JUST FINE. it was merely a TYPE-O when he said week in place of year. but he still only multiplied the 2 gallons per year time the census count. of course it's a rough count, But you get the picture.
And 2 gallons a year. With 3,000 mile intervals I'd be using at least that NOT counting my WORK vehicle which probably does 3,000 miles each month!!!!
I find it to be a PAIN just taking my work vehicle IN for it's change every month. If I could get them to use AMSOIL I'd only need to change in like every 6 months or so!
Add THAT figure alone with all the other commercial vehicles changing their oil every 6 months rather than ever MONTH and see how many gallons we'd save just in my town alone!
Let's figure for just the small company I work for. I could guess we have 40 commercial vehicles we drive daily around town. Take the 3,000 every month oil change and do it every 6 months and we'd save over 5 gallons per vehicle or about 400 gallons of motor oil in ONE YEAR in just the company I work for. That's a company running out of an office of only about 8,000 square foot.
There are tons of similar business' here in phoenix. What Steve says makes sense if someone would think about it.
All you bitch about the gas prices. But when someone takes the time to post some facts (and sure, promote his business) you look to find flaws.
As I see it, most of us, especially in the business' we work for, are NOT going to be able to reduce fuel usage. but you can do something with the oil usage.
if everyone went synthetic with long intervals, we'd cut our oil usage down to nearly a fifth and that should make a good dent in the dependancy from them bastards!

Hey Smokey...does that VW Passat have enough trunk space to fit my Yamaha Big Bear 400 4x4 in it? Didn't think so.
How's about buying a hybrid rather than a diesel...they get better gas mileage than diesel cars do.

I still got a 99 dak for hauling. It's got 225 lbs of torque
the four cyclinder passat is a tubo-diesel with about 250 lbs of torque, which is more than my dak. Go Figure. The diesel is a proven technology with a long life engine. VW has been building diesels for 40+ years. It's got great resale value.
I'll buy a hybrid in about 20 years. LOL
