<h1><a href="https://sites.google.com/view/amsoil-savings-calculator-2/home"><strong>Motor Oil Savings Calculator</strong></a></h1>
<h2>Let's Review the Facts</h2>
<h2><strong>Gallons Saved</strong></h2>
<p>The total for <strong>"Gallons Saved"</strong> comes from a multitude of calculations starting with totals NOACK ASTM and various articles from AAA, such as<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noack_volatility_test"> Noack volatility test</a>,<a href="https://www.astm.org/d2896-21.html"> ASTM Total Base Number</a>, ASTM Four Ball Wear Test, Noack<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noack_volatility_test"> Read The Details</a>, and other articles at<a href="https://www.aaa.com/"> aaa.com</a>. All these elements put together have an impact on moving parts affecting fuel economy Check your savings on the Motor Oil Savings Calculator</p>
<h2><strong>Saved On Fuel</strong></h2>
<p>The money <strong>"Saved On Fuel"</strong> is math done on the Motor Oil Calculator from the in-depth calculations that determined “Gallons Saved”. Also derived from the Oil company pricing as stated below in the "Spent On Oil" category. See pricing below.</p>
<h2><strong>Oil Change Savings</strong></h2>
<p>The <strong>"Oil Change Saving"</strong> total is simple math that comes from the Oil Change Interval listed for each oil type. Each oil type URL is listed below. I also used a few online tools to come to an average such as<a href="https://www.kbb.com/oil-change/#:~:text=Typically%2C%20an%20oil%20and%20filter,to%20be%20changed%20less%20frequently."> cost for oil changes</a> and others.</p>
<h2><strong>Maintenance Savings</strong></h2>
<p>The total for <strong>"Maintenance Savings"</strong> was derived from a couple of AAA’s<a href="https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/drivingcosts"> Maintenance Calculator</a> and this<a href="https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/estimate"> Car Repair Costs calculator</a>. Information also comes from this informative page from AAA<a href="https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/what-does-it-cost-to-own-and-operate-a-car"> What Does It Cost To Own And Operate A Car</a>.</p>
<h2><strong>MPG Is % Better</strong></h2>
<p>The calculations for <strong>“MPG Is % Better”</strong> comes from various charts such as the<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noack_volatility_test"> Noack volatility test</a>, the<a href="https://www.astm.org/d2896-21.html"> ASTM Total Base Number</a>, and the infamous<a href="https://www.astm.org/d4172-21.html"> ASTM Four Ball Ware Test</a>. These tests are performed by ASTM: (<a href="https://www.partneresi.com/resources/glossary/american-society-testing-and-materials-astm/">American Society for Testing and Materials</a>) and NOACK: Named after Kurt Noack.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noack_volatility_test"> Read the details</a>. All the chart elements put together has a big impact on friction resulting in better MPG.</p>
<h2><strong>Emissions Saved</strong></h2>
<p>The calculations for <strong>“Emissions Saved”</strong> comes from the<a href="https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-calculator-calculations-and-references#:~:text=filled%20with%20gasoline-,The%20amount%20of%20carbon%20dioxide%20emitted%20per%20gallon%20of%20motor,A%20barrel%20equals%2042%20gallons."> U.S. Environmental Protection Agency</a>. A surprising amount of emissions are created from every gallon of fuel. When you burn 1 gallon of gasoline, it creates about 8,887 grams of carbon dioxide. This is the same as nearly 8.9 kilograms or about 0.0089 metric tons of CO2.</p>
<h2><strong>Your Time Saved</strong></h2>
<p>For <strong>“Your Time Saved”</strong> It derives from a multitude of factors including<a href="https://www.quora.com/How-much-time-does-the-average-person-spend-filling-up-at-gas-station-during-the-ownership-or-lease-of-their-particular-car"> time spent filling up</a>, getting<a href="https://www.carvertical.com/blog/how-long-does-car-maintenance-take#:~:text=Most%20manufacturers%20recommend%20performing%20a,take%20about%203%2D4%20hours."> oil changes, and maintenance</a> time. This is especially for fleet owners,<a href="https://askwonder.com/research/hours-business-downtime-does-fleet-vehicles-face-refueling-washing-maintenance-3wdyaqyc7#:~:text=To%20wrap%20it%20up%2C%201,working%20hours%20in%20a%20year."> fleet owners spend 62 hours a year per vehicle to refill gas tanks</a>.</p>
<h2><strong>Oil Dumped</strong></h2>
<p>The <strong>“Oil Dumped”</strong> is the amount of oil changed. The more miles you can drive on one oil change the less oil dumped. This has a huge impact on the environment. The numbers are staggering. According to the U.S.<a href="https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=33&t=6#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20the%20United%20States,consumed%20in%20the%20United%20States%3F"> Energy Information Administration</a> in 2022, 7.3 billion barrels of oil were used. 100% synthetic oil not only lessens the number of barrels dumped by a tremendous amount, it’s also environmentally friendly.</p>
<h2><strong>Spent On Oil</strong></h2>
<p>The money <strong>"Spent On Oil"</strong> is created from pricing information on the respective websites for each oil brand. This information was also used in equations for “Oil Change Saving”, “Emissions Saved”, “Oil Dumped”, “MPG Is % Better” and “Gallons Saved”</p>

<p>General conventional oil pricing is $3.99 at 3,000 oil change interval. No specific information on this.</p>
<h2><strong>Grand Total Savings</strong></h2>
<p>This adds all the money saved in the categories above.</p>
<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>All the information comes from unbiased sources, and the AMSOIL Saving Calculator was created out of my own curiosity. It just got more interesting as I went further down the lubrication rabbit hole. The conclusion exhibits one clear winner. AMSOIL takes the prize in all catagories. </p>
<p>Some Noack and ASTM chart analysis were also used in the Motor Oil Savings Calculator calculations.</p>
