The American Petroleum Institute sets the minimum standards oil must pass to ensure it will provide adequate protection. One of these standards, the Sequence IVA Test, subjects oil to 100 hours of use to simulate stop and go driving - and measures its ability to prevent wear.

How AMSOIL Signature Series Helps Preserve Horsepower
Although many motorists equate engine wear and deposits with sudden, catastrophic engine failure, wear and deposits are more likely to erode engine power and efficiency over time. Here’s how it works and what you can do about it.
Several factors cause an engine to slowly lose power, but compression loss due to wear and deposits is one of the primary reasons.
Engine Compression = Power
For your engine to produce maximum power, the combustion chamber must seal completely during the compression and combustion strokes. Wear and deposits can prevent the valves or piston rings from sealing, allowing pressurized gases to escape the combustion chamber and take potential engine power with them.
To illustrate, imagine using a hydraulic floor jack. Pumping the handle will raise the vehicle as long as the release valve is tightly seated and doesn’t leak. A poorly sealed release valve, however, allows pressure to escape, causing the vehicle to sink to the ground no matter how much you pump the jack handle.
The same principle applies inside your engine. If some of the pressure created during the compression and combustion strokes is lost due to valves and piston rings that don’t seal completely, the engine will create less power.
Wear & Deposits Reduce Compression
Over time, deposits or valve wear can prevent the valves from closing completely, interfering with a good seal. Wear can also interfere with proper valve operation, disrupting optimum fuel/air flow.
Worn or stuck piston rings produce the same effect. The rings are designed to move freely in their grooves and press tightly against the cylinder wall, forming a seal that prevents fuel/air from escaping. Ring wear can interfere with formation of a tight seal, while depositbuildup can cause the rings to stick in their grooves, also preventing a good seal. As a result, some fuel/air escapes the combustion chamber during compression, reducing power. On the combustion stroke, pressurized gases can blow by the rings and travel down the cylinder wall and into the oil sump, taking potential power with them. This is what’s meant when someone says an engine has lost compression.
Signature Series Helps Prevent the Problem
