DOMINATOR, an
AMSOIL exclusive formulation,
lubricates and protects high
performance two-cycle motors,
both on and off the track. High
performance motors, particularly
those that are modified, operate
hotter and at higher RPMs than
recreational motors, and they
need good oil for peak
performance. DOMINATOR is
engineered for racing. It has
the right film strength and
clean burning properties for "on
the edge" operation.
Super Film
Strength
High performance two-cycle
motors have high compression
ratios, which significantly
increase combustion chamber heat
and crankshaft bearing
pressures. Hot combustion
processes quickly burn off and
evaporate light oils and cause
rapid piston expansion,
decreasing piston-to-cylinder
wall clearances. This promotes
piston scuffing and possible
seizure. And increased pressure
on crankshaft bearings promotes
metal-to-metal contact, wear and
pitting.
High heat and
pressures require tough oil with
better film strength and more
lubricity. DOMINATOR,
constructed with AMSOIL heavy
synthetic oil, handles high heat
better than mineral oils and
provides improved film strength
and lubricity. DOMINATOR reduces
friction and provides an extra
measure of protection against
piston scuffing and crankshaft
bearing wear.
Clean
Burning
High combustion processes
require the proper additives and
oils to control deposits.
DOMINATOR contains strong, high
temperature detergent additives
and highly pure AMSOIL synthetic
oil. It prevents deposits that
cause ring sticking, plug
fouling and exhaust port
blocking. DOMINATOR is an
optimized product for severe
service.
Applications
DOMINATOR is recommended for use
in high performance stock or
modified two-cycle motors,
including air or liquid cooled
snowmobiles, personal
watercraft, motorcycles (Moto
X), ATVs, go-carts and outboard
motors*. Good for use with
coated or non-coated pistons,
high-octane racing fuels and
exhaust power valves. Compatible
with most other two-cycle oils,
however, mixing oils should be
minimized.
Use at 50:1
pre-mix ratios (2.6 oz. oil per
U.S. gallon of gas) or as
injection oil where JASO FC or
API TC oils are specified. Not
suitable for use with alcohol or
nitro-methane fuels.
* Not suitable
for long-term use in outboard
motors as a TC-W3 type oil,
although excellent as a race oil
for short-term use where motors
are periodically inspected. |

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR
Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil is formulated with a proprietary
blend of the finest synthetic base oils and additives
available today. This unique AMSOIL chemistry
represents a breakthrough development in the field of
two-cycle engine lubrication.
The backbone of AMSOIL
INTERCEPTOR 2-Cycle Oil is a specially developed
molecularly saturated synthetic base oil. This,
combined with a "double treat" additive
package, ensures exceptional lubricity, cleanliness
and optimum clean-burning characteristics. Extensive
research and testing, including a full snowmobiling
season in severe Rocky Mountain applications, has
proven that wear on cylinders, pistons and bearings is
dramatically reduced. And with up to 30 percent more
detergency and dispersancy than typical two-cycle
oils, AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR virtually eliminates damaging
deposits on piston skirts, ring grooves and exhaust
power valves.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR
Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil is recommended as an injector
oil or at a 50:1 mix ratio in carbureted, electronic
fuel Injected (EFI) and direct fuel injected (OFI)
snowmobiles, personal watercraft, motorcycles, ATVs
and jet boats, including, but not limited to, those
manufactured by Bombardier®, Yamaha®, Arctic Cat®,
Polaris®, Kawasaki®, Suzuki® and Honda®.
It is recommended
wherever API TC and JASO FC two-cycle oils are
specified. INTERCEPTOR is compatible with and
recommended as a replacement for all mineral and
synthetic manufacturer branded two-cycle oils. For top
performance, mixing is not recommended.
Motorcycle and ATV
Engine Crankcase and Transmission Lubricants
For engine crankcases we have AMSOIL 10W-40 High Performance
Synthetic, AMSOIL 20W-50 High Performance Synthetic and
AMSOIL 0W-40 Formula 4-Stroke. No other competitive oil
comes close in terms of maximizing horsepower and torque,
minimizing internal wear, andreducing engine operating
temperatures.
All AMSOIL motorcycle oils meet and exceed all JASO-MA
specifications for wet clutch operation and have absolutely
no friction modifiers. These are motorcycle specific oils
designed, engineered and manufactured for operation in
motorcycles with wet clutches.
Also, please keep in mind that thicker viscosity oils are
not necessarily always superior, except under certain
conditions and in certain types of engines. Lighter
viscosity oils such as AMSOIL 10W-40 High Performance
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil are more effective at heat transfer
than higher viscosity oils and will provide optimum
performance in most two and four cycle Japanese motorcycle
engines. Under certain conditions and/or motorcycles it may
be beneficial to use AMSOIL 20W-50 High Performance
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil.

New AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils Provide
Superior Transmission and Rust Protection
AMSOIL
announces the introduction of two new premium
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils. The oils have been
re-formulated with new high performance additive
technology that provides even greater
multi-functional benefits for the special
requirements of motorcycle applications.
Available in both 10W-40 and 20W-50 viscosities,
these exclusive new AMSOIL formulations provide
unparalleled protection for American and metric
motorcycle engines and transmissions.
Most motorcycle oils provide little or no
rust and corrosion protection for the inside of
an engine during storage. Contrary to popular
belief motor oil is not a natural protection
against rust and corrosion. This is a function
of the additives. The new AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil is specially formulated for both
peak performance on the road and superior
protection when sitting idle or in storage.
Stops the corrosion every time you turn off your
engine, which is when the moisture condenses
inside your engine.
Benefits of the two new oils include:
· Improved Transmission Protection
· Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
· Excellent Corrosion Protection
· Outstanding Heat Resistance
· Robust Additive Levels

· Excellent Value for Cost Effective Performanc
The new AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil (MVC) is recommended for Harley-Davidson,
Buell, Victory, Ducati, BMW, Aprilla and Triumph
motorcycles calling for a 15W-50 or 20W-50
viscosity.
The
new AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MFC)
is recommended for Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha,
Suzuki, BMW, Husqvarna and KTM motorcycles
calling for a 10W-40 or 20W-40 viscosity.
Available in quarts, cases, 30 gallon and 55
gallon drums. For more detailed information

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic
Motorcycle Oil (MCV) is recommended for
Harley-Davidson, Buell, Victory, Ducati,
BMW, Aprilla and Triumph motorcycles
calling for a 15W-50 or 20W-50
viscosity, providing superior protection
in engines, transmissions and primary
chaincases.
AMSOIL
10W-40 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCF)
is recommended for Honda, Kawasaki,
Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW, Husqvarna and KTM
motorcycles calling for a 10W-40 or
20W-40 viscosity, providing superior
protection in engines and transmissions.
Improved Transmission
Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils not only provide
superior protection for motorcycle
engines, they also provide superior gear
protection, meeting API GL-1 gear lube
viscosity requirements. AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-40 Motorcycle Oil (MCF) meets SAE
80W-90 gear lube requirements, while
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil (MCV)
meets SAE 90 gear lube viscosity
requirements.
Viscosity is the most
important characteristic of a lubricant.
Motorcycle gears create a shearing
effect that causes permanent oil
viscosity loss. This thinning effect
reduces the oil's ability to prevent
metal-to-metal contact and wear. The
stability and natural operating
temperature ranges of the premium
synthetic base stocks used to formulate
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
eliminate shear and reduce wear. AMSOIL
Synthetic Motorcycle Oils exhibit
absolute shear stability as measured by
the Kurt Orbon shear stability test.
The high temperatures
and tight tolerances common to
motorcycle applications also affect
viscosity. The High Temperature/High
Shear (HTHS) Test (ASTM D-4683) measures
a lubricant's viscosity under severe
high temperature and shear conditions.
The more resistant an oil is to high
temperature viscosity loss, the better
it protects, and even a HTHS difference
of 0.1 cP makes a significant
difference.
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils exhibit higher HTHS
viscosities than competing conventional
and synthetic motorcycle oils. As seen
in the graphs, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
and 10W-40 Motorcycle Oils displayed the
highest High Temperature/High Shear
viscosities in their respective test
groups, providing motorcycle engines and
transmissions operating in the harshest
conditions with superior protection
against wear and viscosity loss and
eliminating the need for separate gear
case oils as recommended by some
competitors. Synthetic 10W-40 may also
be used in two-cycle transmissions.
Excellent Wet Clutch
Performance
Many motorcycles utilize a clutch that
is immersed in the motor oil. The
friction modifiers present in many
automotive motor oils and the extreme
pressure additives present in EP gear
lubricants produce a low coefficient of
friction between the clutch discs and
plates, resulting in clutch slippage and
glazing. Slippage leads to increased
operating temperatures and reduced
clutch life. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils are formulated without friction
modifiers, providing positive clutch
engagement, longer equipment life and
reduced temperatures. AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils meet the clutch
compatibility requirements mandated by
JASO MA.
Excellent Corrosion
Protection
Most motorcycles spend
the majority of their lives either
parked or in storage, but most
motorcycle oils fail to address
corrosion problems. Corrosion protection
during storage and in humid conditions
is essential to extending equipment
life. AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
are formulated with specialized additive
technology that not only protect against
corrosion and acids during operation,
but also provide exceptional protection
during storage. The ASTM D-1748 Rust
Test measures a lubricant's ability to
protect against rust and corrosion. A
standard metal reference coupon is
immersed in the test oil before being
placed in a humidity cabinet for 24
hours at 120 degrees F. As seen in the
photos, the reference coupon treated
with AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle
Oil showed no signs of rust and
corrosion, while the competitor failed
the test.
Outstanding Heat
Resistance
Motorcycles operate in
demanding, high heat conditions that
require robust high temperature deposit
control additives. While many
conventional oils break down and oxidize
when faced with high temperatures,
causing formation of carbon and sludge
deposits, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils effectively withstand oil
break-down and oxidation, keeping
equipment running cooler and minimizing
oil consumption, thickening and
emissions. Air-cooled engines get
especially hot while idling in traffic,
commonly reaching temperatures up to 240
degrees Fahrenheit. The extra margin of
protection provided by AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils is especially important
for hot running air cooled motorcycle
engines.
Foam Control
High engine speeds and
transmission gears in motorcycles churn
the oil, suspending air and causing
foam. When this oil and air mixture is
drawn into a loaded area, the air
compresses and decreases the thickness
of the oil film, compromising wear
protection. In addition, suspended air
promotes oil oxidation, reducing its
service life. AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils greatly reduce foaming
to provide long term lubricating
protection in high speed, high RPM
conditions.
Robust Additive
Levels
Recent automotive motor
oil regulations have limited certain
additive levels, including the anti-wear
additive known as ZDDP. ZDDP is an
extremely effective anti-wear,
anti-oxidant additive, and reducing its
level results in compromised wear
control and shortened service life.
Because motorcycle applications require
robust additive systems to control wear
and oxidation, use of an automotive
motor oil or an automotive motor oil
re-labeled as a motorcycle oil
compromises protection and performance.
AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils are
overtreated with robust additive
packages, including high levels of
calcium, phosphorus, zinc and additional
oxidation inhibitors, to extend oil life
expectancy, provide unmatched engine
cleanliness and greatly reduce wear.
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils are recommended for
twice the manufacturer's recommended
drain interval for on-road motorcycles.
The Four Ball Wear Test
(ASTM D-4172) determines the wear
protection properties of a lubricant.
The smaller the average wear scar, the
better the wear protection provided by
the lubricant. AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils produce significantly
smaller wear scars than competing
motorcycle oils, providing unsurpassed
protection against engine wear, reducing
maintenance costs and extending
equipment life.
Cost Effective
AMSOIL Synthetic
Motorcycle Oils provide excellent cost
effectiveness and are cost competitive
with competing high end motorcycle oils.
The unmatched protection and performance
provided by AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle
Oils is excellent insurance for today's
expensive motorcycles and custom bikes.

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Power Sports
Synthetic Motor Oil (AFF) is specially
formulated for ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles
and other power sports applications. Its
broad viscosity range and wax-free
formulation make it excellent for use in
both hot and cold temperature extremes.
As an SAE 40 weight motor oil, AMSOIL
AFF provides outstanding protection for
hot operating engines, while its 0W
rating and -60°F pour point ensure easy
cranking, excellent cold weather
starting and quick post-startup
protection. Formula 4-Stroke® Power
Sports is an extreme temperature
lubricant that provides outstanding
performance in high performance,
recreational or work/utility engines.
Resists Heat and
Thermal Breakdown
AMSOIL engineered Formula 4-Stroke®
Power Sports Synthetic Motor Oil to
withstand the high temperatures of
recreational engines. It effectively
resists oxidation and oil vaporization
to prevent carbon/varnish formation,
control oil consumption and minimize
exhaust emissions. AMSOIL AFF controls
oil thickening for good fuel economy,
and it keeps engines clean for peak
operating efficiency.
Excellent For
Transmissions
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Power Sports
Oil is wet clutch compatible and
contains no friction modifiers, making
it ideal for both two- and four-stroke
ATV transmissions. The friction
modifier-free formulation is designed to
prevent clutch slippage, delivering
maximum torque and power to the wheels –
a critical feature for towing or
high-horsepower engines. AMSOIL AFF
meets the frictional requirements of
JASO MA/MA2.
Superior Wear
Protection
AMSOIL AFF is formulated with high
levels of anti-wear additives that
provide excellent protection for
pistons, bearings and gears in
transmission containing units, while its
shear stable, SAE 40 viscosity delivers
a thick lubricating film for an extra
margin of protection in hard working
engines.
Anti-Foam
Churning occurs in high RPM engines that
can cause oil to foam, depleting its
lubricating abilities and increasing
heat and wear. AMSOIL AFF controls foam,
promoting cooler engine operation and
reduced wear.
Special Additives
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Power Sports
Synthetic Motor Oil contains robust
dispersant/detergent additives that
effectively neutralize the high levels
of acids and combustion by-products
prone to small engines. And it is
anti-rust fortified for superior rust
prevention, which is especially
important in seasonally or infrequently
used power sports equipment.
Applications and
Recommendations
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke® Power Sports
Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for
four-stroke engines and transmissions on
two- or four-stroke powered
applications. It is an all climate/all
season oil that replaces 0W-30, 0W-40,
5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40 oils for ATVs,
UTVs, snowmobiles and other power sports
equipment. Manufacturers include
Polaris®, Honda®, Yamaha®, Ski-Doo®,
Can-Am® (Bombardier®), Suzuki®,
Kawasaki® and Arctic Cat®.
API

| Top-of-the-Line SMF Motorcycle Oil
Filters
No matter what kind
of riding you do, there’s an AMSOIL
SuperDuty Motorcycle Oil Filter that’s
right for your bike or ATV.
Oil
is the life blood of your motorcycle
engine. Your oil filtration system keeps
that life blood flowing and your ride on
the road.
For nearly 30 years,
AMSOIL INC. has offered state-of-the-art
products Dealers can sell with pride. In
that time, the company’s reputation has
grown, along with its product line.
Now, AMSOIL has
developed a full line of oil filters
specifically designed for motorcycles
and ATVs.
The SuperDuty
Motorcycle Oil Filters (SMF) reflect the
newest technological advances in the
quest to meet the unique demands of
today’s high-stress motorcycle engines.
The three main
functions of any oil filter are flow,
life and efficiency.
- Flow is the
filter’s ability to let the right
volume of oil reach its intended
parts, with a minimum degree of
restriction.
- Life is the
filter’s capacity to remain in
service for a predicted amount of
time.
- Efficiency is the
filter’s ability to remove
contaminants that cause engine wear.
While each of those
functions is vital individually, there’s
more to it.
“Remember, it’s more
than just flow. It’s more than just
efficiency. It’s more than just life,”
said Dave Anderson, AMSOIL Technical
Sales Director. “They all have to
perform in unison. A filter is only as
good as its weakest link.”
Typically, oil filters
are comprised of cellulose, or paper,
synthetic fibers, glass fibers, or a
combination of media.
“All of these fibers
have a different set of characteristics
to them,” Anderson said.
Each provides
different levels of filtration of the
damaging dirt and dust particles that
shorten the life of a motorcycle engine.
-
Traps Dirt Throughout Media
Thickness
-
Up to 100% More Capacity
-
Up to 20% More Efficiency
-
Built for Rugged Performance
-
Heavy-duty Steel Case
Withstands Extreme Conditions
-
Assures Oil Flow With Relief
Valve
-
Prevents Oil Drainage During
Engine Shutdown
Flow is gained through
a media that is open and free, while
efficiency is gained through media that
is closed and difficult to penetrate.
The flow versus efficiency ” compromise
within the filtration system is the
greatest demand on an oil filter’s
performance.
“Through our testing,
we have found the best for motorcycles,
and automobiles, is a blend of the three
media – synthetic, cellulose and glass,”
Anderson said.. “That gives the best
overall performance. You have to look at
overall performance. How they do all the
tasks that you want them to do. A
prudent consumer must consider the total
package.”
AMSOIL SuperDuty
Motorcycle Oil Filters provide the
greatest possible balance of that “total
package” to provide the ultimate in
overall filtration performance.
The filters are
available in black finish, with several
models also available in chrome. The
chrome models have a C designation.
They have a heavy-duty
case of drawn steel. The case is
double-crimped at the base with
rolled-under seaming to withstand
extreme pressure surges and road shocks.
AMSOIL SMF are
available in spin-on and cartridge
types.
The new G-194
Automotive Filter and Cross- Reference
Guide lists the correct filter for each
motor- cycle and ATV. A separate
Motorcycle and ATV Filter Cross
Reference Guide, G-1768, at $1.00 U.S.,
also is newly available for your
convenience.
These quality
full-flow filters are designed to allow
extended filter change intervals.
AMSOIL INC. recommends
the following guidelines. When using an
AMSOIL SMF with conventional oil, change
the filter at the manufacturer ’s
recommendation. When using an AMSOIL SMF
with AMSOIL Motor Oil, change the filter
at twice the manufacturer ’s
recommendation or six months. |

Customer Sold on AMSOIL Quality
and Value.
That's what today's savvy consumers want.
According to marketing analysts, the average
consumer no longer accepts general sales pitches
full of empty promises. The Internet gives consumers
instant access to nearly every possible product or
service. They look for quality information, conduct
price comparisons and then make buying decisions.
The bottom line: more bang for their buck. And when
that consumer is raising seven children, top quality
products and savings are an even greater priority.
Scott Boring, Oakfield, N.Y., has seven children
with his wife Teri. He's looking for quality and
savings to keep his 1997 GMC Yukon, with a 5.7 litre
V-8 engine that "isn't noted for gas mileage,"
running down the road carrying his large family as
efficiently as possible.
A friend told Boring about AMSOIL products. He
promised better gas mileage - an important selling
point with today's high gasoline prices - more
efficient performance and longer life.
The vehicle had 40,000 miles on it when Boring
installed AMSOIL products bumper to bumper.
"I did it all at one time, just to see the
difference," Boring said. He installed
AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-140 Synthetic Gear Oil, used AMSOIL Engine
Flush and then installed AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic
High Performance Motor Oil and AMSOIL Universal
Automatic Transmission Fluid.
"I especially like the ATF," Boring said. "The truck
shifts smoother and the transmission is quiet. All
you hear is the tires on the ground. I've tried
other synthetics, lots of them. I just never saw any
difference. But, with AMSOIL, I saw a difference
right away."
The first tankful of gasoline increased his mileage
from 15 mpg to 20.5 mpg. "I swear I didn't believe
it," he said. "I'm averaging between 19 and 21 mpg
all the time.
"This stuff is awesome and I'm letting all my
friends know about it."
AMSOIL Customers Appreciate Greater MPG
Although results vary because of a variety of factors, a common
denominator among AMSOIL motor oil users is an improvement in fuel
economy.
Independent testing reveals that AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 motor oil
passes the API Energy Conservation Sequence VI test with a rating 38
percent higher than the API minimum specifications.
"The test results show that AMSOIL has the potential to save energy by
conserving fuel," said Technical Services Manager Ed Kellerman. "In most
cases it can increase mileage, but at the very least you're getting
superior engine protection."
Ralph Sites, a police officer in Rustburg, VA, said he put AMSOIL 10W-40
Synthetic Motorcycle Oil in his 2002 GL 1800 Honda Gold Wing when it had
4,550 miles on the engine.
"I had been getting 30 miles per gallon," Sites said. "I was supposed to
be getting 40 to 45 miles per gallon."
His first oil change to AMSOIL improved his mileage to 38 miles per
gallon. At 6,500 miles on the engine, after replacing the final drive
oil with AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-90 Gear Lube, he improved to 40 miles
per gallon.
"I switched to AMSOIL for the long-term gain. The improved gas mileage
was just a bonus. AMSOIL is less expensive than Honda's synthetic and I
don't have to change it as often. It's a win-win situation."
He bought the bike new in January 2002 and had put 12,000 miles on it in
August. He said the improved mileage he's gotten since switching to
AMSOIL has saved him $102 just in gasoline.
Jeff Bailey in Fulton, Mo., said his 1996 Lexus GS300 with 81,000
miles on it also gained fuel efficiency when he switched to AMSOIL
motor oil.
"The car wants premium gasoline," he said. "I drive about 18,000 miles a
year. I ordered your synthetic product and absolutely astounded.
"I was used to getting about 20 mpg overall and having a little low-rev
torque."
Since switching to AMSOIL motor oil, Bailey gets 24 mpg and uses regular
gasoline.
"The engine feels even more flexible," he said. "I've used AMSOIL now
for my wife's anemic Camry 2.2 litre and have calculated that I have
saved about $120," he said. "Thanks AMSOIL for an awesome product. You
have a customer for life."
Likewise, Lance Okeson of St. Paul, Minn., gained miles per gallon after
switching to AMSOIL motor oil in his 1995 Cutlass Supreme.
Okeson made the switch after learning about AMSOIL from a customer of
his at a quick lube where he works. His customer was so enthusiastic
about AMSOIL, Okeson did some research on the AMSOIL Website and decided
to try the products. A trip from the Twin Cities to Fargo, N.D., in a
steady 17 mile-per-hour wind, and back showed him an increase from 24
mpg to 30.5 mpg.
"I have never gotten 30 plus mpg with that car," Okeson said. "I have
two other vehicles that I switched over to AMSOIL motor oil. One is a
4x4 and the other is an old muscle car. I switched the transmissions and
the differentials in those vehicles as well."
ASE Master Technician Sold on
AMSOIL
Mark Deschner, Friendswood, Texas,
is an ASE Master Technician and Manager of the West
Pear Land Tire & Auto Store.
He recently was able to demonstrate the superior
quality of AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants when he had
to change out a leaking intake manifold on his 1991
Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup truck, with more than
183,000 miles on the original engine.
"When my lead technician took the intake manifold
off, for the first time ever, he couldn't believe
how clean the lifter valley and the top of the
cylinder heads were on my truck," Deschner said.
The technician thought Deschner may have changed it
before. But Deschner assured him he had never had
the intake off before.
"He always made fun of me for only changing the oil
once a year and the filter twice a year," Deschner
said. "I think that seeing how clean the intake and
cylinder heads are in my truck has changed his mind
about AMSOIL products. I've always believed in them
and my truck runs AMSOIL for all lubricant needs."
He uses AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil,
EAO24
Absolute Efficiency Oil Filter, TS31 2-Stage Air Filter,
GF111 Fuel Filter, 80W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube,
Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid, Synthetic
Multi-purpose Grease, P.I. Performance Gas Additive,
Rain Clear Windshield Protectant and Bosch
windshield wiper blades.
"As you can see, I have pretty much converted the
entire truck over to AMSOIL products," Deschner
said.
Preferred
Customer Sold on AMSOIL Quality
Peter Virgona of Merrick, N.Y. is a self-proclaimed
oil enthusiast.
“I do a great deal of reading and research, always
looking for the best
oil,” Virgona said. “The more I read the more I
realized AMSOIL was the
best ‘true’ synthetic I could buy. After using Mobil
1 since 1986, I made
the switch to AMSOIL.”
Virgona is a warehouse worker, but he has many years
of experience working
on cars.
He drives a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria that has nearly
98,000 miles on the
engine. He switched from Mobil 1 to
AMSOIL 5W-30
Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL).
“The difference was immediate and significant,”
Virgona said. “The idle
became much smoother. There are times I can’t tell
if the car is running.
It also became much more responsive to the gas
pedal, so much more
responsive my wife asked me what I did to the car.”
Virgona has owned the car for almost nine years.
“Not surprisingly, the gas
mileage improved significantly,” he said. “This car
always averaged 15
miles per gallon going back and forth from work. It
now averages 16.5 mpg.
That’s a 10 percent increase. I truly didn’t expect
such a big change.”
He waited to report his findings until after he had
driven the car at least
5,000 miles “to confirm that the numbers are average
and not just a fluke.”
Virgona also has installed Ea Air and
Oil Filters in
his vehicles.
He told his sister-in-law about AMSOIL and then
changed her oil over to
AMSOIL 5W-30. She drives a 1996 Dodge Caravan with a
3.0 litre V6 engine.
According to Virgona, she had always used
conventional motor oil with
regular oil changes every 3,000 miles.
“Nonetheless, she had a significant amount of sludge
that was obvious under
the oil fill cap,” he said. “She also experienced a
very loud lifter noise
that would come and go. Presumably, the sludge was
affecting the oil
circulation to the lifters.”
Oil consumption in the van was also increasing,
using about one quart every
1,500 to 2,000 miles.
“I switched the van to AMSOIL and put in a new
filter,” Virgona said.
“Within 1,000 miles the lifter noise was all but
gone. By 3,000 miles,
virtually all the sludge was gone. I drained and
refilled the oil a second
time with AMSOIL 5W-30. The oil consumption is now
down to one quart every
3,000 miles, with no more lifter noise.
“I am very happy with AMSOIL and plan to use it from
now on. I recommend it
to anyone who wants a great synthetic oil.”
Virgona buys his products through the AMSOIL
website. “I always get my
product within 48 hours,” he said. In fact, he just
had a case shipped to
his father in-law in Florida because he believes in
AMSOIL products and
wants others to experience their benefits. In fact,
he’s considering
becoming a Dealer.
Virgona respects that he can get detailed technical
information about
AMSOIL just by checking the website. “AMSOIL puts
out performance test
results for everyone to see. I definitely appreciate
that.
“People are usually very, very loyal to AMSOIL. They
know it’s the best.”
AMSOIL Gives
Life to a Sweet Old Cadillac. Making a skeptic into a believer again.
Dear AMSOIL,
I thought you
might appreciate hearing my AMSOIL story. When the opportunity arose
last year to purchase my mother-in-law's 1987 Cadillac DeVille, I jumped
at the chance. A true low mileage survivor, it was in near pristine
condition. I was proudly showing it off to a mechanic friend when he
said, "Uh-oh, you bought an HT-4100? Good luck buddy."
After much research I understood what he meant. The HT-4100 was rumored
to be one of the most troublesome engines Cadillac ever built. The
problems are numerous: an aluminum block with cast iron heads that
expand and contract at different rates causing premature head and intake
gasket failure, coolant loss into the oil, and finally main and rod
bearing failure. They also have a heavily loaded distributor gear, weak
timing gears, and sludging issues.
My first thought was, if ever an engine needed AMSOIL, it's this one. I
first heard about AMSOIL at the old Brohman Dragway in the late 1970s
from a fellow racer who swore by it. For the past 10 years, I've used
various synthetic oils with favorable results, but never AMSOIL. Then I
talked with Dave Mann, the AMSOIL Dealer in my home town, and told him
my story. Having spent 19 years as a lubrication specialist with Ford,
Dave knows his stuff. He made several recommendations, and shared with
me his excellent e-book on motor oils.
I also asked around at the Cadillac owners group I belong to, and almost
every one of them said, "Don't buy AMSOIL! It's too expensive and won't
do you any good. You need this or that oil with this or that additive,"
and so on. So who was I to believe?
Having spent over 25 years in advertising and marketing, I have a strong
skepticism for extravagant claims made by manufacturers. Usually, when
you hear impressive adjectives like "advanced" and "superior," someone
just wants your money or your vote (or both). So I read the science;
from AMSOIL and from several independent studies. I came to the
conclusion that it really is an excellent product. It also intrigued me
that one of the primary sales points made by AMSOIL is to convince you
to buy LESS of their product. That kind of marketing is contrary to
anything I've experienced, and elevates AMSOIL's credibility level
exponentially.
I switched the Cadillac over to AMSOIL 5W-30 (ASL) last fall, then put
in AMSOIL 10W-30 (ATM) this spring (even though it's not a turbo, I like
the extra wear protection offered by this formula). Rather than letting
the oil go a full year, I change it every six months, during which time
it accumulates about 6,000 miles. My dad was an auto mechanic and taught
the 3,000-mile oil change rule like it was the 11th commandment - that
kind of conditioning is hard to overcome. With this frequency, I still
spend less money than if I changed the oil on a three-month/3,000-mile
schedule. I use the money I save to have drain samples tested by an
independent lab each time.
The Deville now has 50,000 miles and runs like a fine Swiss watch. I
have not had a single problem with the 'troublesome' HT-4100 engine. It
runs roughly 10 degrees cooler than with regular oil, and my gas mileage
has increased by 10%. It has become my mission to get 200,000 miles from
this car. With AMSOIL, I might just make it.
As an addendum, I also recently switched my wife's 2003 Oldsmobile
Silhouette minivan to AMSOIL. Since we've owned it, this car has had a
lifter clatter for the first 10 seconds on cold starts. Literally, on
the first start after putting in AMSOIL, the clatter was gone.
Thanks AMSOIL. By making a superb product that truly does what you say
it will do, you've given new life to a sweet old Cadillac, and made a
believer out of this devout skeptic. (see

bike that gets 100 miles to the gallon AND can do 100 mph.
The HDT team was out on the Bonneville Salt Flats
earlier this month, striving to establish new national and world
records. Displaying the AMSOIL colors while going through the paces at
Bonneville, they offered up quite a number of very strong endorsements
with virtually no prompting. We noticed an increase in horsepower right
away when compared to Delvac 1,ť said Fred Hayes, founder/CEO of HDT.
What was quite surprising was the condition of the engine after a
50-mile run-in and over 120 full-throttle dyno runs. The camshaft
bearings, the small and large end rod bearings, didn't even look like
they had been run. During that series of dyno runs, we registered the
highest horse-power and torque readings ever.ť
Dave Anderson, AMSOIL Technical Product Manager, had flown to Bonneville
to witness and participate in the pursuit of new land speed records.
Hayes said to Anderson, "Our testing proved that AMSOIL Series 3000
5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil provided better cam bearing lubrication,
better transmission operation and less blow-by than our previous oil. We
picked up just over one horse power at the rear well." This is a 3.7%
increase and worth a 1 tooth higher gear ratio. In addition, it appears
that overall coolant temperature was down about five degrees. That is
roughly a 2.5% decrease in operating temperatures.
Very few bikers would be opposed to increased horsepower with lower
operating temps, simply by switching over the lubricants.
With over a year of testing, we have found that AMSOIL products
continually outperform all other lubricants. AMSOIL provides improved
performance, increased fuel economy, lower oil consumption, and
significantly reduced engine wear in all operating conditions.
AMSOIL Boosts Bottom Line for
Grain Hauler
Burnell Keller of Castroville, Texas hauls a lot of
corn. Saving downtime and maintenance costs boost
his bottom line.
Since the 1960s, Keller Grain, Inc., at Castroville
has bought high quality white and yellow corn from
local farmers and trucked it to processing plants
across the state of Texas. "These trucks put on
about 12,000 miles a month," said Keller, the
company's owner.
He was running Exxon XD3-30 motor oil in his
Freightliner and changing it every 10,000 miles. He
heard AMSOIL products could cut his operating and
maintenance costs in half, provide better fuel
economy, easier starts and extended oil drains at
least three times longer than he was getting.
"We were fixing to extend the drain to 15,000
miles," Keller said. "But a sample of the Exxon
motor oil analyzed at 10,000 miles came back saying
the oil needed to be changed. I said, let's give
AMSOIL a whirl."
After an engine flush, Keller installed
AMSOIL
15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil in his
Freightliner, with more than 400,000 miles on the
engine.
"We did this procedure three times at a 15,000-mile
analysis and filter change only," Keller said. "Each
time the oil sample report came back saying the oil
was good for continued use."
After the third round of analysis, the oil was
changed. Keller plans to continue with 15,000-mile
analysis and filter changes and to continue to use
the same oil for an interval of 50,000 miles.
"That's about five times longer than before," Keller
said. "It's very good. Keller Grain is now convinced
that AMSOIL is a superior product and that anybody
can save money using AMSOIL products."
New Life for Dodge Ram
Preferred Customer Lyle Reinier from Mesa, Ariz. has
been using AMSOIL products for four years with complete satisfaction. He
said that when he started using them in his 2001 Dodge Ram they “changed
the way it ran.”
Now Reinier drives a 2004 Dodge Ram. He uses AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 in
the engine, AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid
in
the transmission and 80W-140 Long Life Gear Lube.
“AMSOIL has given this truck life that it was hiding before,” said
Reinier. Reinier said the Ram now pulls stronger and runs smoother than
it did before. He made the switch to AMSOIL when the truck hit the
3,000-mile mark. “What comes as a surprise to me is that my Dodge dealer
had no problem doing a complete drain and fill with AMSOIL,” said
Reinier.
Reinier said the dealer removed all the Dodge transmission fluid and
refilled the truck with AMSOIL ATF. “Within a mile or two I could feel
the transmission was smoother and showed a difference in how it
performed,” said Reinier.
Reinier also uses AMSOIL in his dirt bikes. He and his wife have been
using AMSOIL 0W-40 Formula 4-Stroke since it was introduced. Within the
last year, Reinier performed a big bore and a valve job on their bikes
in search of more power.
“The insides of the cases, transmission gears and crank shafts were all
like brand-new,” said Reinier.
Reinier said the cylinder walls of each bike still
showed some cross hatching from the original bore. He also said the
bikes run quieter, smoother and cooler than they did before the switch
to AMSOIL. Both bikes have their original clutches and have logged over
4,000 trail miles.
Customer
Discovers a Burning Desire For AMSOIL
Dealer Mark Licht of Andover, N.J., was on a follow-up visit at Jimmy's
Service, Inc., of Hackettstown, N.J., when the integrity of AMSOIL ATF
was put to a new, on-the-spot test.
Licht showed shop owner Jimmy Naranjo several pieces of literature on
oil and ATF testing results. After listening to Licht talk about the
benefits of AMSOIL ATF, Naranjo turned to him and said, "You're full of
it."
Licht continued to explain all the features and benefits that
AMSOIL ATF
has to offer, but Naranjo interrupted and told him, "There is only one
way to prove this ATF is any good."
Naranjo went to his shelf and opened two brands of transmission fluid he
uses and poured some of each onto his metal workbench. The shop owner
than poured some AMSOIL ATF next to the other two brands. "I had no idea
what this guy was about to do," said Licht.
Naranjo then took out his torch and put the flame directly on the first
brand of transmission fluid he commonly used. After about 30 seconds the
little puddle of transmission fluid started smoking. Naranjo proceeded
to the second brand he stocked in his service shop and repeated the
process. After another 30 seconds, that brand of transmission fluid
began smoking badly.
"Now it's AMSOIL's turn and I must admit I thought my fluid was going to
smoke out just like the others with that direct flame," said Licht.
Naranjo held the flame on the AMSOIL ATF for over two and a half minutes
and there was absolutely no smoke.
"He quickly turned to me and said he'd take a 30-gallon and a 55-gallon
drum of the ATF," said Licht. "We couldn't believe our eyes!"
Now Jimmy's Service stocks the entire XL line of oils, all of the AMSOIL
25,000-mile oils, AMSOIL diesel oils and all of the AMSOIL diesel
additives. The shop also carries AMSOIL filters, 2-cycle oils, Power
Foam Engine Cleaner and Home Heating Fuel Extender.
CROSS COUNTRY TRIP PROVES AMSOIL PERFORMS
Owners of motorhomes, who often travel long distances, are particularly
concerned with finding ways to save on fuel costs.
A Texas man discovered AMSOIL motor oils and lubricants lived up to all
of his expectations in a journey from Texas to Alaska and back in 2004.
"I have a 1998 Dutch Star by Newmar 38-foot motorhome with a 300 horse
power Cat engine," said Shelby Rash, Richardson, Texas. "I also tow a
car behind." Throughout 2003,
Rash averaged 7.1 miles per gallon.
"I use AMSOIL products and believe in them," Rash said.
He took AMSOIL 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil,
an AMSOIL oil
filter, Torque-Drive Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid,
AMSOIL
75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube, AMSOIL Universal Automatic Transmission
Fluid, for power steering/hydraulics, and the AMSOIL Synthetic
Multi-Purpose Grease to a shop in Dallas in January 2004.
"They installed AMSOIL in everything, including the grease fittings,"
Rash said. "I installed a new AMSOIL air filter and oiled the front wet
axles myself. I filled up with diesel and added AMSOIL Cetane Boost and
Diesel Fuel Additive to the tank, as well."
Then Rash took his four-month, 11,000-mile trip.
"I used the two additives each time I filled," he said. "I also attended
two RV rallies where I 'dry-camped with a generator' for a total of 10
days during this time." The only thing he did was change the oil filter
during that time.
"I averaged 8.6 mpg since January 2004 for these 11,000 miles," Rash
said. "This sure helped with the high fuel prices. Just by changing to
AMSOIL I averaged 1.5 mpg better.
"Is AMSOIL worth a try? I think so."
