AMSOIL Releases New Z-ROD 10W-40 For Classic Cars

AMSOIL Z-ROD 10W-40 Synthetic Motor OilAMSOIL has made an addition to the Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil Series. Z-ROD is now available as a 10W-40. Z-ROD is also available in 10W-30 and 20W-50 grades.

About AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil

AMSOIL Z-ROD is designed from the ground-up for classic cars and street rods. There are two main features that make Z-ROD the ultimate classic car engine oil.

1. Z-ROD contains 1440 ppm of zinc and 1320 ppm of phosphorus. These ingredients offer exceptional flat tappet cam protection. Z-ROD can also be used in roller cam engines. The synthetic makeup and robust chemistry gives Z-ROD incomparable wear control capabilities for powerful classic engines.

2. Classic cars tend to spend much of their time in storage. So AMSOIL added anti-rust and corrosion agents to Z-ROD. This protects engine internals and seals from damage during long storage periods.

Z-ROD is not suitable for modern cars and trucks due to its high zinc and phosphorus levels.

Why Did AMSOIL Add A 10W-40 To The Z-ROD Series?

Z-ROD was already available in 10W-30 and 20W-50. But as 10W-40 is a popular viscosity for classic engines, this addition makes good sense.

AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic 10W-40 is and was an option for classic engines. It offers similar zinc and phosphorus levels to Z-ROD. However, it does not contain the anti-corrosion ingredients offered by Z-ROD.

Can Synthetic Oil Be Used In Older Engines?

Absolutely. Synthetic oil (such as Z-ROD series) is perfectly compatible with the seals, gaskets and all internal components of classic engines. It will not cause leaks. It is also compatible with any remnants of conventional oil in the engine.

Where Can I Buy AMSOIL Z-ROD 10W-40?

Oildepot can offer AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic 10W-40 at wholesale prices in Canada or the United States. Contact us for a price list using the form on this page or call us at 1-800-748-5781.

AMSOIL Releases New Drivetrain Fluid For Polaris ATV And UTV

AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Powertrain FluidAMSOIL has released a brand new synthetic drivetrain fluid that is designed especially for Polaris gearcases/differentials, transmissions, front-drive hubs and Hilliard clutches. This new product is called AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Powertrain Fluid (product code: AUPD).

This product is a high-quality replacement for Polaris Demand Drive Fluid, Polaris AGL Synthetic Gearcase and Transmission Fluid and also Polaris AGL Plus.

This new fluid is available only in AMSOIL’s remarkable Easy Pack quart container (available in singles or case of 12).

Why Did AMSOIL Create A New Drivetrain Fluid For Polaris ATV’s And UTV’s?

AMSOIL decided that they could make a single fluid for both the front drive systems as well as the transmissions and differentials. Previously, a Polaris owner would have to buy two different products. One type of fluid for the front drive system and another type for the transmission and differential.

The engineers at AMSOIL created this single full-synthetic fluid. It provides convenience and an upgrade in terms of performance and wear protection.

Doesn’t AMSOIL Already Make A Polaris Demand Drive Fluid?

Yes. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Front Drive Fluid is for front-drive components only. This new fluid is for the front-drive as well as transmission and differential. This new ATV/UTV Powertrain Fluid replaces the previous ATV/UTV Front Drive Fluid.

Which Polaris Models Can Use This Fluid?

The vast majority of Polaris ATV and UTV models can use this product in the front-drive, transmission and rear gearcase.

  • ATV models- Sportsman, Scrambler, Phoenix, Trail Blazer, Trail Boss, ACE
  • UTV models- Ranger, RZR, General, Brutus

Can This Oil Be Used In Polaris “Angle Drives”?

AMSOIL ATV/UTV Powertrain Fluid is not suitable for Polaris Angle Drive gear-cases. The Angle Drive system is found in older Polaris models. For gear-cases that require Polaris Angle Drive Fluid, use AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Transmission & Differential Fluid. Another alternative for Polaris Angle Drive Fluid is any 75W-90 gear oil meeting the API GL-5 spec.

Is This Oil Compatible With Polaris ADC or Active Descent Control?

Yes. This product has the correct frictional proprieties for flawless ADC performance. Therefore it resists clutch chatter in models that have Polaris Active Descent Control.

Where Can I Buy AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Powertrain Fluid?

Oildepot can sell this product in Canada and the US. With our wholesale programs, we can sell the new Synthetic ATV/UTV Powertrain Fluid at the best possible prices. We ship from eleven warehouses in the US and two in Canada.

Also note that we have complete ATV/UTV engine oil change kits for most Polaris models.

AMSOIL Releases New Upper Cylinder Lubricant Gasoline Additive

AMSOIL Upper Cylinder LubricantAMSOIL has released a brand-new gasoline additive for cars and trucks. AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant is an inexpensive additive that has three key functions.

What Does AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant Do?

First of all, this product provides lubrication to the very top end of the cylinder. Tight tolerances in engines can prevent adequate amounts of motor oil from reaching the very top of the cylinder. This product delivers a shot of lubrication by way of the fuel. It also lubricates fuel injectors and pumps.

Second, as Upper Cylinder Lubricant contains detergents, it also keeps fuel injectors and combustion chambers clean. This maximizes fuel mileage and performance.

Third, Upper Cylinder Lubricant contains powerful anti-corrosion ingredients. Most of today’s regular and mid-grade gasoline has ethanol content. Ethanol attracts moisture. This can promote corrosion inside your engine. This product neutralizes moisture and provides an anti-corrosion coating on engine parts.

What Are The Applications For New Upper Cylinder Lubricant?

This product should be used in gasoline engines in automotive/light-truck applications only.

It is not suitable for diesel engines or 2-cycle motors. It is also not intended for use in small engines or recreational motors.

Doesn’t AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver Already Provide These Features?

AMSOIL P.i. Gasoline Additive is a cleaner only. It does not provide the upper cylinder lubrication or the anti-corrosion features offered by Upper Cylinder Lubricant.

P.i. is an ultra-powerful fuel system cleaner that only has to be used every 4000 miles (6500 km). It is meant as a periodic cleaner or to clean exceptionally dirty fuel systems.

Upper Cylinder Lubricant is less than half the cost of P.i. It is an affordable product that can maintain fuel injector and combustion chamber cleanliness with every fill-up.

Great Choice For Gasoline Direct injection Engines

Gasoline direct injection (also known as “GDI”) engines are prone to severe combustion chamber and intake valve depositing. Regular use of AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant can prevent the formation of these carbon deposits. The occasional use of AMSOIL P.i. will also help to keep GDI engines very clean and running strong.

AMSOIL Vs. Lucas Vs. Sea Foam

AMSOIL commissioned independent testing to examine this product’s anti-wear properties. The testing compares AMSOIL versus Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant, Sea Foam Motor Treatment and straight regular gasoline. AMSOIL outscored Lucas by 18%, Sea Foam by 20% and stand-alone regular-grade gasoline by 21%.

AMSOIL Releases New 5W-30 Motor Oil For Small Engines

AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine OilAMSOIL has released a 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Small Engine Oil. This product is ideal for any utility or lawn/garden engine requiring a 5W-30 or straight-30 motor oil. This oil is suitable for small engines powered by gasoline, diesel, liquid propane or natural gas.

Why Did AMSOIL Make A 5W-30 Small Engine Oil?

This product joins 10W-30 and 10W-40 products in AMSOIL’s Small Engine Oil series.

Some small engine manufacturers (Honda comes to mind) suggest the use of a 5W-30 oil. Therefore, it makes sense for AMSOIL to have one in their line-up. With a cold-pour-point of -44°C (-47°F), this product is also the perfect oil for small engines that run in the winter.

Regardless of whether an engine is operated in extreme heat or cold, AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Small Engine Oil will surely be a popular product.

How Is Small Engine Oil Different From Car Engine Oil?

Modern cars and light-trucks are equipped with all sorts of emissions sensors and devices. Some motor oil ingredients such as zinc can cause issues with these components. Therefore, modern automotive motor oils require a fairly sophisticated formulation approach. As small engines do not have emissions sensors and catalytic converters, AMSOIL is able to load this motor oil with anti-wear additives like zinc and phosphorus.

There is also another benefit to using this small engine oil over regular car motor oil. AMSOIL added significant anti-rust and corrosion ingredients that would not be found in automotive motor oils. Small engines are frequently stored for long periods. They may also be left outside or operate in wet conditions. This ability to prevent internal rust is a benefit to almost any small engine.

Highlights Of AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil

  • Suitable for a wide variety of small engines
  • Provides commercial-grade wear protection
  • Capable of staying in service for long intervals
  • Withstands extreme heat and heavy-loads
  • Delivers instant oil flow during winter start-ups
  • Resists oil consumption
  • Prevents deposit formation
  • Protects against internal corrosion during storage and operation in wet conditions
  • For small engines powered by gasoline, diesel, liquid propane and natural gas

Suitable Applications For AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil

  • Lawn and garden equipment
  • Snow blowers
  • Generators
  • Water pumps
  • Compactors
  • Mobile welders
  • Compressors
  • Pressures washers
  • Log-splitters
  • Masonry equipment
  • Skid-steers
  • Grain augers
  • And many more

Where Can I Buy AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil?

We can sell this new 5W-30 Small Engine Oil in Canada and the US. We have wholesale programs for individuals, commercial operators or retailers. Feel free to contact us for a price list using the form on this page.

New API CK-4 Synthetic 10W-30 Diesel Engine Oil From AMSOIL

AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 Synthetic Diesel OilAMSOIL has added a new 10W-30 diesel oil to their elite Signature Series Max-Duty line. The full-synthetic Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 meets the latest API CK-4 specifications along with a multitude of industry standards.

Why Did AMSOIL Add 10W-30 Diesel Oil To Their Product Line?

There is a trend toward lighter viscosity motor oils in class 8 semi-unit engines. Engines such as Paccar MX13, Volvo D11, D13, D16 and Cummins X15 and X12 are compatible with 10W-30 motor oil. This is an effort to optimize fuel-economy. The use of lighter viscosity oils means that the industry has to be more diligent about wear control. Signature Series Max-Duty offers a world-class formula that demolishes industry wear tests such as the Detroit Diesel D13 Scuffing Test.

Ideal Applications For AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30

Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 is ideal for newer or older diesel engines requiring a 10W-30 engine oil. Semi-truck owner/operators who are trying to maximize engine life might find this product particularly appealing. Reduced friction, extended oil change life and maximum engine life are attributes that they will appreciate.

This new 10W-30 meets the latest industry standards including API CK-4.

This product is certainly not the cheapest 10W-30 diesel oil out there. But we believe that it is the best. For those looking to protect their investment and make their engine last as long as possible, this synthetic diesel oil could be the best value on the road. Check out the product page at the link above for all of the features as well as the suitable applications and specifications.

Where To Buy AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 Synthetic Diesel Oil

We can ship Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 from 13 warehouse across the US and Canada. We also offer free shipping on qualified orders. There are commercial wholesale accounts for owner/operators and personal-use wholesale options as well.

AMSOIL Now Offers Easy Pack For Marine and ATV/UTV Oil

AMSOIL Easy Pack For Marine Gear Oil and ATV/UTV Transmission/Diff OilAMSOIL now offers their ingenious “Easy Pack” format for two more products. Easy Pack options are now available for AMSOIL Marine Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Oil and AMSOIL ATV/UTV Synthetic Transmission and Differential Fluid. Each will be available in single US quart (946 ml) Easy Packs or cases of 12 units.

This clever packaging allows for easy, no-mess service of marine lower units and ATV/UTV transmissions and diffs that are in tight areas.

About AMSOIL Easy Pack

The highly flexible packaging and no-spill nozzle permits much easier servicing of components in tight areas. Areas that were previously impossible to fill with a quart bottle (without a pump) are now easy to fill. The groundbreaking Easy Pack concept was introduced by AMSOIL for their Severe Gear Series in the summer of 2018.

We expect that Easy Pack will make its way to more AMSOIL products in the future.

AMSOIL Releases New 0W-16 Motor Oil

New AMSOIL OE 0W-16 Synthetic Motor OilAMSOIL’s new OE 0W-16 Synthetic Motor Oil is now available for sale. This brand-new viscosity is offered in the value-priced OE Series to start. We suspect that as the 0W-16 grade becomes more prevalent, it will eventually be offered in AMSOIL’s premium XL and Signature Series lines.

Where Can I Buy 0W-16 Engine Oil?

Oildepot can ship this AMSOIL Synthetic 0W-16 to your door from warehouses in Canada and the United States. We have wholesale programs for personal-use as well as for dealers and shops. Contact us for a wholesale price list using the form on this page.

Why Did AMSOIL Come Out With A 0W-16?

The 2018-19 Honda Fit and the 2018-19 Toyota Camry (2.5L conventional and hybrid engines) recommend the use of 0W-16 motor oil. Automakers are scrounging for every conceivable way to improve fuel economy. Make no mistake, that is why this new ultra-thin motor oil viscosity is on the market. Expect automakers to spec 0W-16 for more models in the very near future.

Will 0W-16 Be Too Thin?

We discuss this question in our post “Is 0W-16 Motor Oil Too Thin?“. We believe that engine design and motor oil chemistry have reached the point where 0W-16 is very viable. Extensive testing goes into industry motor oil specifications and engine technology. We are confident that the homework on 0W-16 is complete. You can bet your last dollar that AMSOIL OE 0W-16 was rigorously tested. It will provide the heavy-duty synthetic wear protection that AMSOIL is famous for.

Remember that many motorists had grave concerns when the 5W-20 motor oil grade was introduced almost two decades ago. Now, the majority of modern passenger cars and light-trucks use 5W-20 or 0W-20. After hundreds of millions of miles of use, 20-weight motor oil has been proven to offer excellent wear protection.

We predict that the 0W-16 motor oil grade will eventually deliver the same successful track record.
