When Lives are at Stake, Fire Department Relies on AMSOIL
Prescott, Arizona - Serving as chief mechanic for the
Central Yavapi Fire District and the City of Prescott Fire
Department, Dale Wagner knows the importance of a
well-maintained truck fleet. "Any mechanic worth his salt
should be involved in decisions concerning preventive
maintenance." That's why, when switching to AMSOIL, Wagner
made sure he did his homework. "After installing AMSOIL
15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil in two trucks,
I sent a sample to Cleveland Technical Center for oil
analysis every 200 hours or sooner."
After 1,000 hours, the lab questioned Wagner about the
frequency of tests. "I was expecting to find a failure in
the oil after five drain intervals had passed. I realized
that AMSOIL lubricants provided unsurpassed protection on
engine parts when, after 1,000 hours of use, the AMSOIL
synthetic motor oil had better results in lab tests than my
previous oil had straight from the container."
Before he switched to AMSOIL motor oil, Wagner had recurring
downtime while repairing the trucks. Not so with AMSOIL.
Wagner also says he was able to reduce his oil change time.
"Technology has allowed me to reduce manpower needs. The oil
itself cannot solve all maintenance problems, but with the
help of AMSOIL and a program designed by the fleet
management you can make the right oil work for the best
results."
Semis Go the Distance (without an oil change)
Rockwell, Texas - Danny Howell, Director of Maintenance for
Dallas Carriers Corporation, conducted a demonstration in
which semis were installed bumper-to-bumper with AMSOIL
lubricants. He put AMSOIL 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and
Marine Engine Oil in the engines and AMSOIL synthetic
85W-140 Gear Lube in the transmissions, rear ends and the
power train.
Periodically, Howell sent samples for oil analysis. The
results showed that both the AMSOIL 15W-40 and 85W-140 were
serviceable after 200,000 miles. Howell says both the rear
ends and transmissions operated like new with AMSOIL
85W-140.
AMSOIL Aids Small Welding Company
Grand Rapids, Michigan - Layman Welding Supply Operations
Manager Mike Murley says the family-owned company has saved
a significant amount of money since using AMSOIL lubricants
in their dump trucks. In fact, Murley and AMSOIL Dealer Sten
Wimen have estimated savings of approximately $10,000.
Murley says they've been able to add trucks to their fleet
due to the savings. "We use AMSOIL lubricants in our truck
engines, transmissions and transaxles. We've had great
success using AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease in our
tailgates and are very pleased with its performance. And,
we've saved our company a large amount of money in oil
changes."
"The company has been able to save money be getting more
performance for their dollars," says Wimen. "For instance,
before using AMSOIL, they had been purchasing one barrel of
hydraulic fluid a year, but they've only had to use 60
gallons of AMSOIL product over a three-year period. A
savings of $10,000 for a small, family-owned company -
that's not bad!"
Murley no uses AMSOIL products in all other applications at
Layman Welding Supply. "By using AMSOIL in our facility
equipment we have been able to extend the life and reduce
the maintenance."
Harvesting the Benefits of Using AMSOIL
Brownwood, Texas - Danny Dutton, owner of Dutton Harvesting,
says life has been a bit smoother since using AMSOIL. "Our
harvesting business is much easier since switching to AMSOIL
motor oil. Running combines and big road trucks six months
out of the year is hard work, with not enough hours in the
day."
Dutton uses AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil in his three new John Deer 9600 combines,
five Mack class 8 grain hauling trucks, Ford Powerstroke,
plus many other smaller machines.
Dutton knows the performance of his equipment is crucial to
the success of his business. By using AMSOIL, Dutton says
his equipment, especially his trucks, perform better and
resist wear. "We have Dual Guard By-Pass Oil Filters mounted
on the Macks to extend the oil changes. We put an average of
10,000 to 12,000 miles on these trucks per year, and they
hold 13 gallons of oil each. Our combines run about 600 to
700 hours. If these were miles, it would probably be
equivalent to 25,000 miles.
"These are great machines, and AMSOIL gives them the best
protection against wear while allowing them to start easier,
run cooler and get the best fuel efficiency possible."
Dutton says, economically, AMSOIL is the logical choice. "If
you put a pencil to it, AMSOIL motor oil is really cheaper
than regular oil. Anyone could save money using AMSOIL."
Trucking Firm Enjoys Big Savings with AMSOIL
Rock, Michigan - When Nelson Trucking and Forestry owner Roy
Nelson's new Kenworth truck reached 15,000 miles, he
replaced the factory oil with AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. He also installed an
AMSOIL By-Pass Filter system and started a regular oil
analysis program. Since then, he's known nothing but success
and money savings.
AMSOIL Dealer Walt Patterson says immediately after
installing the AMSOIL products, Nelson saw positive results.
"At approximately 40,000 miles, Roy calculated that he saved
some hard earned cash," Patterson said. "Roy accurately
figured if he traveled 100,000 miles in the first year, just
in fuel economy alone, he would see savings of $1,930, or
about 8.4 percent. When Roy reached that 100,000 figure he
was still running on the same oil. By changing his oil
filters every 20,000 miles, he saw additional savings of
approximately $700 annually."
Nelson Trucking hauls a variety of products including heavy
equipment and wood. Nelson likes to keep a tight schedule
and guarantee punctual delivery time, so he relies on AMSOIL
to keep his trucks in top condition.
"Here in Michigan the weather can become a real enemy,
especially when the thermometer reads twenty to thirty below
zero," said Nelson. "AMSOIL Motor Oil has proven to me that
it doesn't matter if the temperature is hot or cold, it can
stand up to whatever Motor Nature throws at us."
AMSOIL Gives Trucking Business the "Star" Treatment
Grand Junction, Colorado - Monty Moore says he needed an
edge to make his business, Star Fleet Enterprises, more
profitable. Moore and his wife operate highway contract
routes for the U.S. Postal Service - routes that are
extremely demanding on their trucks. "From early in the
morning until evening and under all types of driving
conditions, our trucks hold very rigid time schedules -
schedules that allow very little time for maintenance. Plus,
repair costs were going through the roof." Moore found the
edge he was looking for by using AMSOIL lubricants.
"I tried AMSOIL products and I was very impressed! Just
after using AMSOIL Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate, AMSOIL
Cetane Boost and AMSOIL Diesel Fuel Modifier, the
performance difference in the trucks was like night and day.
Once I installed AMSOIL SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube and
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Grease, the trucks ran like
new."
"We have had our drivers and many others comment on how well
the vehicles run and the difference AMSOIL products have
made," said Moore.
Moore has converted all of his vehicles to AMSOIL. "We are
continuing to use the fuel additives for the beneficial edge
in performance and mileage.
"We are greatly enjoying the difference AMSOIL products are
making in our vehicles."
409,000 Miles Without an Oil Change
Colonial Heights, Virginia - Haywood Gray's 1990 Mack E7-400
engine should have shown some evidence of having gone
409,000 miles without an oil change, but it didn't. "I
didn't see any surprises in there at all," said
owner/operator Gray when the engine was finally torn down.
In fact, analysis showed the engine was as wear-free as an
engine in comparable service treated to 20 times the oil
changes.
The results can only be credited to AMSOIL. Gray used AMSOIL
Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil, an AMSOIL
By-Pass Oil Filter and periodic oil analysis.
The E7-400 was torn down by the local Mack dealership and
its parts were examined by a certified independent engine
rater. It showed only light to moderate wear throughout.
The rater even concluded that the engine parts could have
been put right back on for continued use.
The teardown oil analysis confirmed the rater's findings.
The sample's content of wear metals was extremely low:
one-sixth the lead and one-third the iron allowed by Mack
condemnation limits - after 409,000 miles without an oil
change.
BEER Distributor NUTS about AMSOIL
Medina, Minnesota - With the duty of moving the "King of
Beer" cross country, Chester Gustafson was not about to
trust his truck fleet to just any oil. Gustafson is the
fleet maintenance manager for Thorpe Distributing Co.,
regional distributor of Anheuser-Busch products. Gustafson
has the entire fleet running with AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants.
Gustafson says, "I'm impressed! First, we've reduced repair
costs significantly. We save $5,000 for every overhaul we
don't have to do, and save even more on reduced downtime.
Second, we cut our capital costs and now buy trucks as old
as seven years. With proper maintenance using AMSOIL
lubricants, we keep them on the road without any driveline
maintenance for an estimated 10 years. We've never lost a
U-Joint."
Gustafson was sold on AMSOIL Motor Oil after AMSOIL Direct
Jobber Jim Bergquist introduced it to him in 1983. Gustafson
installed it in his wife's car, then his two over-the-road
trucks. Experiencing how smoothly the trucks ran and shifted
convinced Gustafson to become an AMSOIL Dealer.
Gustafson recently brought Bergquist on board to work
alongside him at Thorpe. The two men have 22 International
DT466 beverage trucks and two Ford trucks completely
converted to AMSOIL. Gustafson has always changed oil at
24,000 miles/two years even though oil kept testing okay. He
plans to stretch it out to 36,000/three-year intervals. The
engines have AMSOIL 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine
Motor Oil with AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
in the transmissions, Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 Gear Lube
in the differentials and Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease on
the wheel bearings. The fork-lifts use AMSOIL Hydraulic Oil.
City Runs on AMSOIL
Ozark, Alabama - Maintenance Foreman for the City of Ozark
George Hawkins was skeptical when AMSOIL Dealer E.E. Bowman
first approached him about synthetic oil. After reviewing
the literature Bowman left him about AMSOIL synthetics,
Hawkins became a bit more interested.
"Bowman presented me with the opportunity to become a
commercial account, which I accepted, and proceeded to
change the city police automobiles from petroleum to AMSOIL
synthetics," said Hawkins.
Hawkins didn't stop at the police fleet. "We have placed
AMSOIL into all of the city vehicles - utility board trucks,
garbage trucks, fire trucks and grass cutting equipment.
"In the past it was necessary to service our garbage trucks
every 30 days. That time has been extended to 180 days,"
said Hawkins.
Hawkins couldn't be happier. "We have found that AMSOIL has
been of benefit to us in several ways. We are experiencing
much longer service intervals (requiring fewer man hours),
prolonged life of our equipment and an increase in fuel
mileage (approximately five percent).
"The end result is a savings of very scarce tax dollars for
the people of Ozark, Alabama."
AMSOIL Saves the Day
Seal Beach, California - Mike Johnson was towing a 34-foot
fifth wheel trailer on Sherman Grade about eight miles north
of Bishop, California when things went wrong.
"I smelled something burning, and moments later smoke
billowed from under my truck. I drove about a mile until I
could safely pull over. Then I opened the hood and
discovered transmission fluid splashed on the exhaust system
and running out from under the transmission."
Johnson says he had his rig towed to a dealership, and the
service manager told him to expect the worst. "A few hours
later I got the news that the upper coupling had let go, and
I'd lost all my transmission fluid. But my transmission was
fine. The service manager said the only thing tht saved my
transmission was the AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission
Fluid."
Fleet Keeps on Truckin' with AMSOIL
Installing an over-the-road fleet with AMSOIL Synthetic
15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil, AMSOIL By-Pass
Filters and conducting used oil analysis proved to be a
winning combination.
With AMSOIL products, the flatbed fleet extended vehicle
drain intervals to 79,000+ miles, and realized a 29 percent
reduction in the costs of oil-related materials and labor.
The extended intervals were not gained at the expense of the
engine. Used oil analysis showed the quality protection of
using AMSOIL products, even during extended drain intervals.
Wear metal, soot and acid levels remained low throughout the
demonstration while TBN remained high and viscosity
midrange.
Extended Drain Intervals for Grocery Fleet
By using AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and
Marine Oil, AMSOIL By-Pass Filters and oil analysis, a
grocery warehouse fleet extended its oil drain intervals to
74,000+ miles and realized a 22 percent decrease in the
costs of oil-related materials and labor.
Oil analysis confirmed the superior protection afforded by
the AMSOIL products.

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.”

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

HDT Sets AMA Land Speed Record
with AMSOIL
Hayes Diversified Technologies (HDT), located in
Hesperia, California, produces diesel powered tactical military
motorcycles for the U.S. armed services as well as the UK and EU NATO
countries. Founded in 1961, the company originally manufactured
electro-mechanical switches and relays to the military & aerospace
industries.
The new HDT motorcycles are diesel machines combining both power and
environmentally friendly performance efficiency. We are talking about a
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,¯ 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.¯
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."
