Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil develops a strong fluid film that keeps metal surfaces separated while its robust anti-wear additives further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for maximum engine life. The Sequence IVA Engine Test, which must be passed to meet the API SN PLUS specification, simulates extended periods of stop-and-go driving. For 100 hours, the test engine cycles between 50 minutes of idling and 10 minutes of elevated rpm – conditions that encourage engine wear. The camshaft is then measured for wear in 84 locations and an average score is determined. We used Signature Series 0W-20, the lightest viscosity in the line, to further increase the severity of the test. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provided 75 percent more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear¹ than required by the industry standard, extending the life of vital components like pistons and cams.
After rigorous third-party testing, the cam lobes show little-to-no wear.

We armed Signature Series with an advanced detergent system that protects against harmful deposits and low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). Most new engines feature gasoline direct injection (GDI), often combined with a turbocharger to boost power and improve fuel economy. These new technologies, when combined with a poorly formulated motor oil, promote LSPI and threaten engine operation. LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel/air mixture prior to spark-triggered ignition. It occurs in today’s advanced engines and is much more destructive than typical pre-ignition. A properly formulated motor oil is critical for protecting your engine. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like GM* have addressed the issue by designing tests to determine a motor oil’s ability to prevent LSPI. Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil achieved 100 percent protection against LSPI2 in the engine test required by the GM dexos1* Gen 2 specification – zero occurrences were recorded throughout five consecutive tests.

Our unique synthetic formulation is inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids. Signature Series Motor Oil provides outstanding protection against deposits common to high-temperature engine environments. The tremendous heat and stress turbos create can cause some oils to break down and form harmful bearing deposits through a process known as turbo coking. Over time, turbos can suffer reduced performance or fail altogether. We challenged Signature Series to the GM Turbo Coking Test, which consists of 2,000 cycles of extreme heat soaks. An oil must limit the temperature change within the turbocharger to 13 percent or less to pass the test. Signature Series limited the temperature increase to only 3.6 percent, protecting the turbocharger 72 percent better than required3 by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
Signature Series controlled heat and minimized performancerobbing deposits on the turbobearing and shaft surfaces.3 Based on independent testing of AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 in the GM turbo coking test. -
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil has 50 percent more detergents4 to help keep oil passages clean and promote oil circulation. Engine failures due to sludge are often caused by a plugged oil pick-up tube screen – the motor is effectively starved of oil. The Sequence VG Engine Test measures an oil’s ability to prevent sludge. During the test, a Ford* 4.6L engine is subjected to sludge-inducing conditions for 216 hours. The industry standard allows for 10 percent blockage before the motor oil fails the test. Signature Series produced a screen virtually free from sludge (see image). Its detergent and dispersant additives are so effective, Signature Series provides 90 percent better protection against sludge.54 vs. AMSOIL OE Motor Oil5 Based on independent testing of AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 in the ASTM D6593 engine test for oil screen plugging as required by the API SN PLUS specification.Dedicated engine builders and mechanics put in long hours honing their craft. These architects of powerful, highperformance engines turn to Signature Series to protect their passion. “When we use AMSOIL, I don’t worry about a film breakdown or an oil breakdown – and the oil pressure is always consistent. We’ve tested oils back-to-back on the dyno in our shop and we’re always able to make more power with AMSOIL.” Brett Bowers, Professional Engine Builder. -
