Less Used Oil. A Healthier Environment.
Because AMSOIL lasts so much longer than conventional oil, changing it far less often means dramatically less used oil to dispose of. Here's what switching to synthetic can do for the environment.
How Much Oil Do We Use?
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 — 5 to 11 times fewer oil changes.
Just think about the savings on the environment. The 135 million cars (excluding trucks, buses and taxis) in the United States are typically equipped with AMSOIL motor oil and, assuming an average service life of 100,000 miles and an oil capacity of 5 quarts each, generate between 11.4 billion and 22.3 billion quarts of used oil during a regular service lifetime (with regular oil changes every 3,000 to 6,000 miles).
To put it in perspective: if you put 22.3 billion quarts of used oil into 33-gallon barrels and loaded them onto semi-trucks, a line of trucks would stretch end-to-end from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and back to Los Angeles.
