New Amsoil formulation?

This was announced in a newsletter last year so no connection to the current base oil situation.


"....AMSOIL Signature Series is undergoing a revolutionary reformulation that promises to usher in the next generation of motor-oil technology."

Thread 'Amsoil Signature Series & GF-7'

Per Amsoil Magazine:

"....Amsoil Signature Series is undergoing a revolutionary reformulation that promises to usher in the next generation of motor-oil technology."

For the Amsoil Extended Life, Amsoil High Mileage and Amsoil OE - already meets or exceeds Gf-7 and SQ standards.

Just an FYI. I was curious if/when Amsoil was going to reformulate Amsoil Signature Series.

Big long thread here.

Nothing known yet.

Release date pushed back to "late spring to early summer."

How is it a niche product? I think it should be the default API spec oil option unless something else needed.

you know what, I completely agree with you, it should be the default the go to option.

That being said, from marketing stand point, I am having a hard time a customer in europe prefering that over motul Power for a brand new vehicle, for example. "Restore" part does not resonate well with "I have an amazing hiigh performance car" feeling.

Perhaps Valvoline should consider selling that as an additive.
 
If there was a change in the base stock, then wouldn't Amsoil have to change the "formula" to accomplish the same goal, with different starting materials....?

Same result, same destination.....different journey.

I would assume they have to buy base stock from one of the bigger companies......

Still will be superior product, worry not.

Probably not. As long as the interchange is in line with API Annex E then that's kind of the point, it's not a formula change. You're essentially swapping out one base stock with another that has the same physical properties and performance.

But we don't know if that's the case or not. Either way as you have noted, I would guess that the end performance is equivalent.

So, a nothing burger in other words......seemingly in this case.

But would it be safe to say, that if enough of the base was changed, then more changes down he line might be required to end up with the same result? Am I thinking on that right?
