Taking Better Care

It seems like messages on the importance of being “green”
and erasing our carbon footprints are everywhere these
days. (A carbon footprint is the measure of the impact
human activities have on the environment in terms of the
greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon
dioxide.) Consumers are becoming more and more
conscious about how the purchasing decisions they make
impact the environment. On the other hand, worries over
rising costs of everyday products (fuel, groceries, etc.)
have consumers scrambling to find a product that they can
feel good about that won’t break the bank. Enter AMSOIL.

Environmentally Conscious Products
Since the introduction of the world’s first synthetic motor
oil, AMSOIL lubricants have been setting new standards for
motor oil quality. They are specially designed to protect
engine components, reduce emissions, last longer, reduce
fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution.
From the beginning, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have outperformed
conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts.
AMSOIL INC. has been dedicated to helping reduce negative
impacts on the environment. AMSOIL was the first to
recommend 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals. By safely
extending drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants dramatically
cut the amount of oil consumed and emissions
produced. This is not a new fad that AMSOIL is jumping
on board with; it is the way AMSOIL has always operated.
In addition to the extended drain intervals, AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are specially designed to provide
superior protection for engine components, extending the
life of the engine and reducing the need for replacing
engine parts. They are also thermally stable with a strong
resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off),
preventing sludge deposits and keeping engines clean.
Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption
and emissions.
The advanced lubricity (slipperiness) of AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants has also been proven to increase fuel economy.
This reduces dependency on foreign oil and overall fuel
consumption.
AMSOIL also manufactures gasoline and diesel fuel
additives that improve performance and fuel efficiency.
AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver Gasoline Additive
maximizes fuel efficiency by dissolving and removing fuel
system deposits and other contaminants for improved
power and overall performance. It also reduces hydrocarbons
up to 15%, carbon monoxide up to 26% and nitrous
oxides up to 17%.
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Performance Fuel Additive
improves performance, fuel efficiency and longevity of
diesel engines while reducing deposits, black smoke and
emissions. It improves fuel economy by cleaning dirty
injectors and restores horsepower.

Environmentally Conscious Company
AMSOIL INC. doesn’t just leave the responsibilities of
environmental protection to the products; the company
itself is diligent in making efforts to keeping the earth
clean. AMSOIL recycles virtually 100% of the corrugated
trays and packaging boxes that come into the facilities,
equaling several tons of recycled cardboard each month.
All used steel drums and all “clean” plastic bottles are also
recycled. AMSOIL is in the process of exploring how to
recycle used stretch wrap and banding as well.
The AMSOIL Center was originally a grocery distribution
warehouse, which required 109,000 ft2 of refrigeration and
freezer space and 6.2 miles of copper pipe. Since
AMSOIL did not need the refrigeration systems, the Feron
and the copper pipe were recycled before moving into the
space. In addition to the copper pipes, the AMSOIL Center
came fully equipped with office furniture. Instead of
tossing the furniture into a dumpster to be hauled off to the
land fill, AMSOIL partnered with an organization named
Common Ground and donated it to 38 different non-profit
organizations.

Environmentally-Directed Selling
Consumers today are more selective than ever, which
makes AMSOIL a perfect fit for their needs. It is important
to communicate that customers do not have to sacrifice
power and performance to reduce their carbon footprint--
they can simply switch to AMSOIL.
By switching to AMSOIL, customers receive all of the
benefits previously mentioned, as well as environmental
benefits they may not be aware of. The AMSOIL extended
drain capabilities intrinsically benefit the environment, as
less waste oil needs to be disposed of. At the same time
AMSOIL reduces the number of times a customer needs to
get his or her vehicles' oil changed, making extended drain intervals
much more convenient. (This also reduces the gas necessary
to drive to the oil change facility every 3,000 miles or 5,000 kms.)
Oil filters are also a significant contributor to waste, and by
using AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters (with extended drain capabilities),
customers can be sure that they are receiving the
highest quality filtration. Using these filters also reduces
waste as customers need to change them less often.
AMSOIL is dedicated to further reducing negative impacts
on the environment, and encourages others to do the
same.
