Resists Oil Breakdown

XL Synthetic Motor Oil maintains its fluidity (viscosity) under the most extreme conditions. Some oils break down and significantly increase in viscosity after extended periods of high-temperature operation. These changes can cause excessive oil consumption, engine deposits, accelerated wear and difficult cold-starts. The GM Oxidation and Deposit (GMOD) Test consists of a 5.7L V8 engine running at 293ºF (100º hotter than normal) for 100 hours. These severe operating conditions test an oils ability to control viscosity increase, deposits and oil consumption. The testing revealed that AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil provides 64 percent more protection against oil breakdown1 than required by the GM dexos1® Gen 2 specification, ensuring protection in extreme temperatures.

Protects Pistons from Low-Speed Pre-Ignition

XL Synthetic Motor Oil features unique chemistry proven to protect your engine against the harmful effects of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel/air mixture prior to spark-triggered ignition. Most new engines feature gasoline direct-inject (GDI), often coupled with a turbocharger. These technologies heighten the possibility of LSPI events, which can destroy pistons and connecting rods. A properly formulated motor oil is critical for protecting your engine against LSPI.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like GM have addressed the issue by designing tests to determine a motor oil’s ability to prevent LSPI. XL Synthetic Motor Oil achieved 100 percent protection against LSPI2 – zero occurrences were recorded throughout five consecutive tests.

Keeps Engines Clean

AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil is fortified with detergent and dispersant additives. Its boosted additive package effectively raises the total base number (TBN) to neutralize acids and resist sludge, corrosion and carbon deposits. XL provides 25 percent more cleaning power3 to help keep your engine running smoother, longer.

Reduces Maintenance

Motorists, business owners and fleet managers benefit from the boosted engine protection of AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil. Frequent oil changes are expensive, time-consuming and inconvenient. The extra protection built into XL can provide extended drain intervals up to 12,000 miles or one year4, if you choose, allowing you to change oil on your schedule, reduce maintenance, save money and reduce waste oil.

Maximizes Fuel Economy & Maintains Low Emissions

XL Synthetic Motor Oil is licensed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to meet and exceed the requirements commonly found in owner’s manuals. It excels in fuel-economy testing, earning the additional “Resource Conserving” designation5 from the API. XL is also friendly toward modern emissions control systems, promoting proper operation of catalytic converters for optimum service life and low exhaust emissions.

XL Synthetic Reviews

XL is true to form

By  STEPHEN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Missouri  on  September 26, 2023

Best oil ever

By  DON,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Gwinn,Michigan   on  September 21, 2023
I would recommend this oil to everyone that I know.

XL oil

By  DAVID,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Northern Minnesota   on  August 03, 2023
Have used Amsoil products since the late seventies. Finally decided to switch my last vehicle (2006 Jeep Liberty that I purchased new and had 152000 miles) over to Amsoil XL for easier double digit below zero temperature starts. It turns over much easier with the XL and added bonuses are the main crank seals stopped leaking due to the seal conditioner in the XL oil as well as the number 2 cylinder spark plug stopped getting oil fouled. Great product and I now have zero petroleum based oil on my property.

Excellent synthetic oil

By  JOE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Jasper Georgia   on  September 16, 2023
Helped with an oil consumption issue on a 03 Silverado 5.3. Definitely the best synthetic on the market. Thanks, Amsoil!

Smooth idle

By  MARSHALL,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Cincinnati   on  June 28, 2023

I’ve noticed good start up oil pressure and no noise at idle. Good pressure when at running temperature and it looks good when I change it at 5k miles.
