Quantifying Performance: Signature Series Motor Oil and the NOACK Volatility Test

The relentless environment inside modern engines pushes motor oil to its limits. High temperatures and mechanical stress challenge an oil’s ability to protect critical components. Volatility — the tendency of an oil to evaporate under heat – is one area of motor-oil performance with huge implications. Volatility can compromise engine protection and lead to increased oil consumption, deposits and reduced performance.

AMSOIL Signature Series 100% Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered with premium base oils and a robust additive system to resist evaporation and maintain its protective properties, even in extreme conditions. To quantify volatility performance, we put Signature Series to the test at a third-party lab using the NOACK Volatility Test (ASTM D5800).
