AMSOIL Performance Test Archive

This archive contains a historical record of AMSOIL performance tests and technical studies that are now obsolete and may not be representative of oils currently on the marketplace. The test results posted in this section reflect properties of oils available for purchase at the time of testing. The test results do not reflect properties of those oils reformulated subsequent to testing. Therefore, these publications are not available for download or distribution.
