Is AMSOIL a Reliable Brand for Cold Weather?

In short? Yes, it is. Using  AMSOIL for winter driving is an excellent option for maintaining your car in cold weather. It's no secret that the brand designs all its formulas to flow freely in cold temperatures, providing your engine with the protection it needs, even in the harshest conditions.

Why Is AMSOIL a Good Option for Winter?

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are made with high-quality base oils and additives specifically engineered for cold weather use. These base oils and additives have a lower pour point than conventional oils, meaning they will not thicken as much in cold temperatures. This allows AMSOIL synthetic lubricants to flow freely and provide your engine the protection it needs, even when it is cold outside.

The Benefits of Using AMSOIL in Cold Weather

Easier Start

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants flow without a problem in cold temperatures, making it easier to start your engine without a hitch. This is especially important in frigid climates when conventional oils can thicken, making it difficult to start your car.

Reduced Wear and Tear

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants provide your engine with the protection it needs from wear and tear, even in extreme temperatures. This is due to AMSOIL's synthetic lubricants' design to maintain viscosity under different circumstances.

Improved Fuel Economy

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants can improve your fuel usage, especially in cold weather. Furthermore, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants reduce your engine's friction and wear and tear all year-round.

Extended Oil Drain Intervals

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants last longer than conventional oils so that you can extend your oil drain intervals, save money on oil changes, and reduce your environmental impact.

Spare your vehicle from the winter woes and switch to synthetic oil formulas while you can. Visit the AMSOIL store or contact Dwight Smith in Ann Arbor, MI, at (702) 561-3706 to order from authorized dealers.

How to Choose the Right AMSOIL Oil for Cold Weather

When choosing AMSOIL products to get you through the winter months, you need to consider the following factors:

Climate

Your climate will determine how cold your car's engine will get. If you live in a very cold environment, you may want to consider using a lighter-weight oil, such as AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil. This formula will help ensure that your oil flows freely in cold weather and that your engine starts quickly.

Engine Type

Different engine types have other oil requirements. Be sure to choose an AMSOIL oil specifically designed for your car's engine type. Please check out your owner's manual if you need precise specifics.

Driving Habits

If you do a lot of heavy-duty towing or hauling, you may want to consider using a heavier-weight oil. This will give your engine the extra protection it needs under heavy load.

How to Use AMSOIL in Cold Weather

Don't fret. Using AMSOIL for winter driving is no rocket science. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and change your oil regularly, according to your car's owner's manual. And if you live in a frigid climate, you may want to consider using a block heater to warm up your engine before you start it.

Here are some additional tips for car maintenance using AMSOIL products in the winter:

  • Change your oil and filter regularly. This is especially important in cold weather when your oil has to work harder to protect your engine. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils can be used for extended drain intervals.
  • Use the correct fluids for your vehicle's specific needs. AMSOIL offers a wide range of fluids for different applications, so be sure to choose the ones that are right for your car and the climate you live in.
  • Have your car serviced often by a professional mechanic. This step is crucial to identify and address any potential problems early on before they cause damage to your vehicle in cold weather.

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants are an excellent choice for cold weather. Their Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil is the safest bet this winter season.
