Advanced Protection for Hybrid Vehicles

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil

Increasingly more people are turning to hybrid vehicles to reduce their environmental impact and save money on fuel costs. Most hybrid SUVs top 35 mpg, while most hybrid sedans exceed 45 mpg. That’s about 40% better than non-hybrids.

While hybrid vehicles offer excellent fuel efficiency, the internal-combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle endures a unique set of challenges. Infrequent engine usage and increased stop/start activity place demands on lubricants not common in traditional ICE vehicles.

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is designed to solve those problems with purpose-built protection for the hybrid drive cycle, maximizing hybrid-engine life, efficiency and performance.

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil

Combats corrosion

Hybrid engines operate intermittently, making them especially vulnerable to corrosion. Infrequent use and reduced loading of the engine leads to lower engine temperatures that do not completely evaporate condensation, leading to rust, wear and decreased efficiency.

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is formulated with a boosted dose of inhibitors to help prevent condensation related corrosion and maintain optimal engine performance, while its elevated level of dispersants effectively manage water that enters through condensation.

Hybrid vehicles are diverse. Some do more than just carry passengers.

Protects against fuel dilution

Frequent stop/start activity can lead to cooler cylinders and incomplete combustion, increasing the likelihood of unburnt fuel leaking down the cylinder walls into the crankcase and contaminating the motor oil – reducing its ability to provide proper lubrication.

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is engineered with a robust viscosity to cling to cylinder walls and combat the negative effects of fuel dilution.

Helps viscosity control

Infrequent use of a hybrid’s engine means oil must flow quickly to reach components when the engine engages, especially at higher RPM. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is formulated to provide optimal low temperature viscosity control to ensure rapid protection of components at startup.

Hybrids are excellent for commuting long distances.

Targeted protection

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Hybrid Motor Oil is an excellent choice for any hybrid electric (HEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), regardless of mileage or age of the vehicle. It’s engineered for hybrid drivers who want to maximize engine protection and fuel economy.

Hybrid oil selection is part of the broader question of matching the right AMSOIL product to your specific application. For standard gas engines, what AMSOIL products are best for your truck and how often to change your oil cover the most common questions. The cold-start viscosity advantage of synthetic oil matters for hybrids specifically because the engine engages infrequently — read Can AMSOIL Protect My Engine in Extreme Temperatures for the full cold-start data.
