AMSOIL has introduced a reformulated version of its Signature Series 100% Synthetic Motor Oil, featuring an updated formula designed to provide increased engine protection for modern gasoline-powered engines.

According to AMSOIL, the new Signature Series combines premium base oils with a revised additive system to help control wear, maintain viscosity under extreme operating conditions, and reduce volatility. The company says the new formulation delivers 2X better protection against volatility, helping reduce oil consumption, minimize top-offs, and keep engines cleaner over time.

“This next generation of AMSOIL Signature Series represents nearly a decade of precision engineering and rigorous testing,” said AMSOIL Director, Product Marketing Automotive & Commercial Alex Thompson. “Developing a product that demonstrates meaningful performance improvements over an already industry-leading formulation was not easy, but necessary to continue protecting both modern and late-model engine platforms at the highest level.”

AMSOIL also says the reformulated oil delivers 4X more piston protection against low-speed pre-ignition, or LSPI, an issue that can affect turbocharged, direct-injection engines. In Sequence IIIH testing, the company reports the oil provided 72% more protection against piston deposits than required by current industry standards.

Additional benefits cited by AMSOIL include sludge protection, thermal stability for improved cold starts, and reduced oil consumption. The reformulated Signature Series is available in eight viscosity grades: 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-40, and 5W-50.

The new formulation provides guaranteed protection in normal service for extended drain intervals of up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. AMSOIL says the updated Signature Series will be introduced as existing inventory of the previous formulation is depleted.

The shorter “Fast Off Tracks” trip is a five-day, 780-kilometer journey through remote Mongolian terrain, including open grasslands, sand dunes, and untouched wilderness. Meanwhile, the week-long “Gobi Tracks” adventure covers roughly 2,000 kilometers across the famous Gobi Desert, taking drivers through everything from massive dunes and canyons to icy valleys. Both trips include accommodations, guide support, a private chef, an escort vehicle, and a LIQUI MOLY product package for travelers.

Spring is one of the best times to experience Mongolia, with fewer tourists, lower prices, and wide open landscapes coming back to life after winter. LIQUI MOLY says the tours are designed for self-driving participants looking for a mix of off-road excitement, scenery, and local culture, with optional trip extensions available for travelers who want to stay longer.
