Lubricants and Fuels
The control lubricants were Shell Rotella T
15W-40 for the engines, Quaker State
SAE 90 for the transmissions and Citco
85-140 for the drive axles. The control
truck used the control lubricants for all
driving segments and the test trucks used
the control lubricants for their baseline
segments.
The test lubricants were AMSOIL Series
3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil for the engines, AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oil for the
transmissions and AMSOIL Series 2000
Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube for the drive
axles. The test vehicles used the test
lubricants for their test segments.
All vehicles used Exxon No. 2 diesel fuel
dispensed from the same storage tank for
all driving segments.
Procedure
Each test vehicle ran a baseline segment, in
which the truck was equipped with the
control lubricants, and three testes
segments, in which it was equipped with
the test lubricants. The control vehicle
concurrently ran each driving segment
using control lubricants.
Conditions including speed, tire pressure,
headlight and fan use and window
openings were held constant between all
vehicles in each driving segment. Finally,
testing proceeded only if wind direction,
wind speed and temperature were within
test parameters.
Results
The weight of fuel consumed by each test
vehicle and the weight of the fuel
consumed by the control vehicle in each
driving segment were used to determine
the percentage of fuel saved and the
percentage fuel efficiency improved
obtained by the test lubricants. Results
outside 2 percent of the norm were
discarded.
Findings
The vehicles equipped with AMSOIL
synthetic lubricants in the engines,
transmissions and drive axles
demonstrated up to an 8.2 percent
increase in miles per gallon (mpg) over
mpg obtained by the vehicles equipped
with the control lubricants.

Introduction
At the request of AMSOIL INC., an
independent research institute conducted
a month-long test comparing the fuel
consumption of Class 8 diesel trucks
equipped with AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants to Class 8 diesel trucks
equipped with conventional lubricants.
The research institute used the SAE
J1321 Joint TMC/SAE Fuel
Consumption Test Procedure-Type II,
and industry standard test procedure for
comparing in-service fuel consumption of
a vehicle operated under two conditions,
one with the control lubricants in place,
the other with the test lubricants in place.
Vehicles and Route
The three tests and one control vehicles
were 1995 International Model 9200
truck-tractors with Cummins M-11
engines (rated at 350 hp at 1600 rpm),
Fuller RTXF14710B Transmissions,
Eaton Model DS/RS 404 drive axles
(3.90 ratio), 11R-24.5 low-profile tires
and new oil and air filters. All four
vehicles had been operated between
250,000 and 285,000 miles prior to the
study.
The trucks were equipped with auxiliary
weight fuel tanks and quick disconnect
couplings to facilitate accurate data
gathering.
Each truck pulled a 45-foot long flatbed
trailer equipped with 11R-24.5 low
profile tires and loaded with concrete
blocks so that the gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of each vehicle was
75,550+100 lbs.
The test route represented typical
longhaul interstate highway operations,
with asphalt road surfaces and generally
flat terrain. The low traffic density route
covered a total of 40 miles with a
20-mile southbound segment and the
return northbound segment. Fuel
consumption was measured separately
for each direction.

The trucks traveled 125,000 miles
without an oil change and the rate of
wear metal generation found in used
Series 3000 samples was lower than that
found in used control oil, Pennzoil Long
Life 15W-40, which is changed at
20,000-mile intervals.
Additionally, the viscometrics of the
AMSOIL fluids provide a wear control
benefit in cold temperature applications
since low viscosity fluids flow more
freely in cold temperatures than high
viscosity fluids do. Oils that flow easily
in cold temperatures provide faster
post-startup wear protection in cold
engines than do less fluid oils. They also
provide easier starting and reduced
battery drain.
Finally, AMSOIL products users are
protected by the AMSOIL product
warranty, which, unlike warranties
offered by other oil companies, is not
limited by time or mileage and does
not require user registration and
approval.
Conclusion
AMSOIL synthetic engine, transmission
and drive axle lubricants provide a safe
and effective means to significantly
increase class 8 truck fuel economy.

Discussion
Test conditions were held close to ideal for
maximum fuel economy. In many instances of
less-than-ideal conditions, the synthetic test
lubricants would have provided even more
fuel economy improvement. For example,
synthetics' superior cold temperature fluidity
provides a larger proportion of fuel savings in
cold operating conditions.
Additionally, while the present study did not
include analysis of wear control, wear control
is an important issue with low viscosity
lubricants and one fully addressed by
AMSOIL through additional testing.
Traditionally, the benefit of improved fuel
economy provided by low viscosity lubricants
is offset by a penalty in wear control. Such is
not the case with Series 2000 and 3000
lubricants, as evidenced by Four-Ball Wear
testing conducted by and independent
laboratory (results shown on product labels)
and a growing body of demonstrated on-road
data. (see chart to right)
For example, an ongoing fleet demonstration
is providing evidence of the excellent wear
control of Series 3000. Since January 1996,
AMSOIL and a northern tier trucking fleet
have been conducting a demonstration using
Series 3000 in the 1996 Cummins N-14
ESP3 engines of five 1996 Kenworth Class 8
trucks.

| Truckers - Fleets - Business Owners What Does a Savings of 8.2% Mean? |
Imagine a fleet of 100 class 8 vehicles running an average of 120,000 miles per year at an
average of 6.5 mpg with diesel fuel at $1.35 a gallon. The fleet spends $2,429,308 on fuel
annually.
Now imagine the fleet uses AMSOIL products and improves its miles-per-gallon by 8.2
percent. The Fleet now spends $2,303,427 on fuel annually.

Now imagine the fleet uses AMSOIL products and improves its miles-per-gallon by 8.2

That's a savings of $188,881!
That money could buy a years worth of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants
for the fleet plus a year's fuel for 3 to 6 trucks - with cash left over.
