Keeping friction low helps hold down engine wear rates and temperature, which helps engines last longer. Reducing friction also conserves fuel. But the real benefit of superior friction reduction in a race engine is greater speed. Speed, after all, wins races. Torque and horsepower engine ratings indicate how much work an engine can do and how fast the work can be done. The work to be done by a race engine is moving the vehicle around the track and is a function of torque. The engine’s horsepower determines how fast the vehicle is moved around the track. Some of the energy produced by the combustion of the fuel-air mixture is consumed by friction along the way from the combustion chamber to the flywheel where torque and horsepower are measured. The more energy that escapes consumption, the more torque and horsepower available for moving the car. In these tests, engines delivered more torque and horsepower when lubricated with Series 2000  Most engine builders, including those who ran Tests 1 and 3, find a two to four horsepower and two to four foot-pounds torque increase with Series 2000.  The 24 horsepower and 21 foot-pounds torque increase reported in Test 2 show this particular engine responds extremely well to the superior friction reducing ability of Series 2000. |

Peoria, Illinois – AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil provided an average increase of 2.22 horsepower and 2.75 foot-pounds torque over the horsepower and torque provided by Castrol 10W-30 motor oil in dynamometer testing performed on a 1996 Ford Taurus by the Dyno-Pro Diagnostic/Performance Center. Don Mallinson, Dyno-Pro owner, said that with Series 2000, "We noticed a real increase in power. That indicated to me that we had fewer pumping losses and very likely a significant lessening of friction." Mallinson uses AMSOIL synthetic lubricants in his SHO Registry 1989 Ford Taurus, a trophy winner in the 1996 One Lap of America. |
