AMSOIL Lab Ensures Maximum Quality
Control
Since its inception
in 1972, AMSOIL INC. has followed one guiding principle: manufacture
products that “exceed customer expectations.”
AMSOIL products
are tested against the most rigorous standards of the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International, one
of the largest voluntary standards development organizations
in the world for technical standards for materials, products,
systems and services. ASTM standards are the benchmark for
motor oil and lubricant companies.
AMSOIL quality
standards make the AMSOIL laboratory critical to the company.
The lab moved to the AMSOIL Center in January 2008, where
it was expanded to 3.100 square feet, and increase of about
35 percent over its original location in the old AMSOIL Distribution
Center.
“The lab
was relocated into a well-laid-out space that increases the
efficiency of our monitoring AMSOIL materials from delivery
by rail and truck to finished products,” said Vice President
of Operations Scott Davis. “It’s an impressive
laboratory. When vendors and customers see it, it’s
a ‘wow’ factor; when we see it, it’s a confidence
factor. The layout and design improve processing and efficiency.”
Chemists
Use ASTM Standard Test Methods
“We follow
the testing protocol as it is written for each ASTM standard
test method,” said Dave Leitten, laboratory director.
Test methods prescribed in ASTM standards manuals are used
internationally to evaluate the properties of lubricants,
oils, fuels and solvents. That means, “other testing
laboratories follow the exact same procedures when they run
ASTM Standards Test Methods,” Leitten said.
Quality
Control Measures
Raw materials arriving
at the AMSOIL Center in Superior, Wisconsin are tested prior
to acceptance of the delivery to ensure they meet AMSOIL quality
parameters. Samples are taken directly from the tankers to
the lab. Only after the lab reports the raw materials meet
quality standards are they sent to the olding tanks, from
which they are then blended and bottled.
“We calibrate
our equipment on a regular basis to ensure out test results
are accurate,” Leitten said. “In terms of product
quality control, we test our products in three stages. Stage
one involves testing all of the raw materials that go into
out products.”
“Stage two
involves testing of the finished blends. Stage three involves
testing a production line sample of product going into bottles,
pails, drums and totes. We use the same ASTM test methods
used in competitive product testing in our day-to-day laboratory
quality control testing.”
In stages one and
two, raw materials and finished are tested against the specifications
provided by each material manufacturer. They also must meet
specific AMSOIL product specifications for finished goods.
“The specifications for our finished goods are based
on industry specifications,” Leitten said. “We
tend to tighten up the finished goods specification ranges
so that the variability of the products we manufacture is
minimal.”
Those specifications
usually have an acceptable minimum and maximum range for various
attributes. “As an example, a base oil could have an
acceptable range for kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees C
of 5 centistokes (cSt) (minimum) to 5.4 cSt (maximum),”
Leitten said. “We would test this material using ASTM
D-445 Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent
and Opaque Liquids and compare our tested value with the acceptable
range and accept or reject the material or blend based on
the results.” Kinematic viscosity is the measure of
a fluid’s resistance to flow under gravity at a specific
temperature.
Innovative,
Superior Products
“We strive
to bring innovative products of the highest quality to our
customers,” Leitten said. “Our corporate policy
is to provide products with exceptional performance that exceed
customer expectations. We continually test competitor products
to benchmark our performance versus other players in the lubricant
industry. This testing is expensive and very time-consuming,
but it is vital to ensuring our products are the very best
our industry has to offer.”
Published
Results Prove Product Quality
“We often
publish the results of our competitor testing as proof of
our product quality.” Leitten said. “Formulating
is a balancing act. Changing the attributes of a product in
one area may negatively affect the properties in another.
As an example, adding corrosion inhibitors to a lubricant
may detract from its wear performance. The key to creating
superior products is to balance all the performance areas
to create a well rounded lubricant. Our products are near
the top in all critical areas of performance and, more often
than not, they’re at the very top.”

Premium AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oils offer the longest drain intervals
on the market, unsurpassed protection and performance that
effectively extends equipment life and improved fuel economy,
saving customers money at the pump and reducing the nation’s
dependence on foreign oil.
"AMSOIL
INC. warrants that the use of its lubricants will not cause
mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when
AMSOIL INC. products are used in full compliance with the
company's recommendations and instructions."
FULL
WARRANTY
AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are formulated to surpass engine test
specifications, offering protection far greater than competing
motor oils for extended drain intervals. Most synthetic oil
manufacturers make no claim to extended drain intervals, deferring
to the maintenance schedule provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers
consumers unprecedented protection and economics.
Another
AMSOIL First
More than 20 years
ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison
tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil
tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed,
and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies
paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company
made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what
AMSOIL had said all along.
THE
NOACK Volatility Test
The NOACK
Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss
of lubricants in high temperature service. The more
motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become,
contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy
and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions. AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatization
better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption
and emissions. |
