AMSOIL Makes Prizm Durable |
||
![]() Pickul bought the Prizm new in June of 1992 and after 3,000 miles, converted it to AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. Pickul also installed an AMSOIL 2-Stage Air Filter. Pickul converted to AMSOIL Automatic Transmission Fluid at 30,000 miles, and has changed it five times. After owning the vehicle for one year, Pickul changed the engine coolant to AMSOIL Antifreeze & Engine Coolant which he changes at two-year intervals. Pickul uses a 16 oz. bottle of Pi Gasoline Additive every three or four months, and every 30,000 miles he treats the car to AMSOIL Power Foam Carburetor and Engine Cleaner. At 200,000 miles Pickul converted to AMSOIL 10W-40. Pickul has demonstrated complete faith in AMSOIL products to keep his car running smoothly. "In November 2003 with 329,000 miles on the engine, I drove the car from Sarasota, Fla., to Carbondale, Ill., without stopping," said Pickul. "The 13-hour trip was a true tribute to the AMSOILization of this vehicle." The Prizm has a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine that has had no major problems. The valve cover was removed at 360,000 miles and it was exceptionally clean. |

AMSOIL Improves Gas Mileage |
||
Cecil conducted an experiment with his car to show the outstanding gas mileage that is attainable using AMSOIL products. "I used my 11-year-old 1994 Honda Civic 5-speed with approximately 195,000 miles as the test vehicle," said Cecil. Cecil uses AMSOIL Pi in the gas, AMSOIL 0W-30 Motor Oil and an AMSOIL 2-Stage Air Filter. The Honda also runs on Bosch plug wires and Bosch Platinum+4 tipped plugs. Cecil drove 55 miles per hour from Valdosta, Ga. to Callahan, Fla. and back. The weather was clear, but there was an 11 to 24 mph gusting wind on the trip back. To prove that he did everything he said he did, Cecil hired CPA Susan Swader to document his actions. Swader noted the mileage, level of gas and type of tires on the car before Cecil left. She then sealed the gas tank with tape in a way that prevented it from being opened. Cecil vouched for the fact that he was in Callahan, Fla. by bringing back a signed, dated receipt from a McDonald's in Callahan. Upon his return, Swader followed Cecil to the gas station and watched him fill the tank, noting the difference in total miles and the amount of gas needed to refill the tank. "I vouched that the tape placed over the gas cap had not been tampered with," said Swader. Test results: 50.2 miles per gallon. |

96 Tacoma Passes 196,000 Miles - Still Going Strong |
||
In 1996 Hamilton bought a 1996 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with
a 2.7L four cylinder engine, five speed manual transmission. The engine
and drive train were changed to AMSOIL lubes at 6,000 miles. He put AMSOIL
Series 2000 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in the engine and AMSOIL 75W-90 Gear
Lube in the drive train. He also put 196,000 miles on the engine in that
time. This truck is used in extremely heavy service. In the used car business he's always pulling a car carrier, transporting vehicles to and from the car lot. He frequently tows a 14-foot enclosed trailer taking go carts and equipment to races. For recreation, Hamilton has a 19-foot ski boat he also tows frequently. All of this towing, with this 2.7L four cylinder engine. He said he can maintain more than 70 miles per hour when towing with no problem. The engine runs as strong as it was when it was new, and has had no mechanical problems or maintenance except for the four oil changes since changing to AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30. The only part that has been replaced is the starter.Hamilton has passed the truck on to his son, Jeff, who plans to run it at least another 196,000 miles. |

AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil
Makes Gold Wing 'Purr' |
||
Burkhalter said he loves AMSOIL products and uses them in "anything and everything that comes under my control." And that's a lot. Burkhalter and his wife, Nancy, ran a 200-acre farm, where they have raised and bred sheep until this year when they retired so they can travel. The three farm tractors, ranging from a small 26 HP to a large 110 HP Massey, are equipped with AMSOI L 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil, AMSOIL oil and air filters and AMSOIL Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil. Burkhalter also uses AMSOIL gear lubes in his vehicles. The 2000 Honda ATV, appropriately the "Rancher" model with a 350cc engine, runs with AMSOIL 10W-40 High Performance Motorcycle Engine Oil. He bought the ATV for Nancy to run around the farm and check on the sheep. She says the fire engine red ATV with its racks makes it a perfect "lambulance" should any of the babies need rescuing, an event that hasn't happened. His zero-turn lawn mower, log-splitter and small engine water (pond) pump also are equipped with AMSOIL lubes and greases. He runs AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil in his 2004 Chrysler Pacifica and 2002 Buick Rendezvous, along with the farm truck, a 1991 Dodge Dakota. The vehicles also have AMSOIL air and oil filters installed. Although he registered as a Dealer years ago, he has
used the products for himself rather than selling them to others.
"While I proselytize AMSOIL products to all Although Burkhalter trusts the quality and performance of AMSOIL motor oils, lubes and filters, he has been newly- impressed with AMSOIL products in his 1999 Honda Gold Wing GL1500SE. He purchased it with 15,000 miles on the engine. He put 5,000 miles on the oil and fluids installed by the dealer he bought the bike from and then installed AMSOIL Synthetic 1OW-40 High Performance Motorcycle Engine Oil. "Upon riding the bike after the change I was blown away," Burkhalter said. "Words alone cannot describe the remarkable performance change." He reports the engine starts easier and quieter and idles significantly faster. "I'll have to adjust the idle speed back down," he said. "it runs like everything is made from silk. The engine is so quiet you can barely hear it at 70 mph, and the smooth sound it makes is so stunning, I have been driving with my radio off just to enjoy the engine purr." Besides the purring of the engine, Burkhalter experienced an immediate improvement in shifting ease on the Gold Wing. "I thought it might be my over-fertile imagination, but looking at the shop manual closer I find that the transmission runs in the engine oil (not separate) so the extreme smoothness, ease of shifting and lack of gear gnashing can only be attributable to the use of the AMSOIL motorcycle oil. "I'm not sure why I'm surprised, having been a satisfied user for more than a decade, but the difference in the bike was dramatic." |

AMSOIL Keeps Compressor Engine Clean |
||
![]() "Recently, it lost compression," said Clampitt, who serviced the compressor. "Upon removing the head I found the problem to be weak valve springs. The inside was beautiful. It still has the hatch marks in the cylinder wall. Two springs, grind the valves, a few gaskets later and he's going again. Thanks AMSOIL."

AMSOIL ISO 100 SAE Compressor Oil Extends Compressor Life |
||
![]() "After running the compressor for a period of time to get it and the tank hot, I checked the amp draw several times to make sure it stabilized and recorded the reading," said Mallette. All readings were obtained just before the compressor shut off at the 120 psi limit. The Hitachi oil 19219 obtained a reading of 14.9 amps, while the AMSOIL ISO 100 SAE Compressor Oil read 14.1. "I could see the draw dropping as it ran," Mallette said. After the second refill of the tanks, it stopped dropping and stabilized around 14 to 14.1 amps. According to Mallette's testing, a difference of .8 amps (multiplied by 120 volts) saves 96 watts an hour. This means less work for the electric motor, reduced electrical consumption and longer life for the compressor. |
