High Quality Base Oils Essential for High Quality Lubes

According to "The Practical Handbook of Machinery Lubrication," high quality base oils are essential in the blending of high quality lubricants. "An inferior base oil cannot be converted into a premium product simply by the inclusion of an additive. Using a poor-quality oil on a continuing basis and attempting to overcome its poor lubricating qualities with some special additive is illogical. Better to determine the manufacturer's recommendation as to the minimum API service rating required and then regularly use a blended lubricant of a higher service classification than originally recommended, if an improvement in lubrication is the objective." AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are manufactured with superior quality synthetic base oils and premium additive packages that provide second-to-none protection and performance.
