A Sampling of our Satisfied AMSOIL Customers:

A Major Michigan Municipality Fleet: This letter is a summary of a letter written by the Superintendent of Motor Pool. Please contact us if you would like the full letter mailed or faxed to you.

This Municipality has switched its entire Police and City Hall Fleet (approximately 350 vehicles) to AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.

History: In the past, all marked and unmarked police vehicles would come in monthly for an oil change, lube and safety check. As a test, we switched two marked Chevrolet Caprice vehicles over to 100% synthetic AMSOIL engine oil and extended the drain intervals to 20,000 miles, with a new oil filter installed at 10,000 miles. The vehicles were still scheduled to come in monthly for a safety inspection (tires, brakes, suspension, lights, etc...), but the oil is not drained, only a sample is taken. When the two test vehicles reached 70,000 miles, the municipality service technicians removed the oil pans and also removed the main and rod bearings to check for wear using the plastic gauge test. The bearings showed very little wear. the same procedure was performed on two marked cars, same year, make and model, using petroleum oil. The wear on the two vehicles with petroleum oil, changed monthly at about 2,500-3,000 miles, showed slightly more wear in the plastic gauge test. The results were well within specifications in both cases.

Currently: the city is using all Ford Crown Victorias in its police fleet. With the help of oil analysis, we were able to extend our oil changes to 18,000-20,000 miles with a new filter installed at 9,000-10,000 miles. We are currently using AMSOIL synthetic engine, transmission, and rear differential oil in all vehicles serviced out of the city hall facility.

SAVINGS: Savings have been noticed due to the decrease in number of oil filters and quarts of oil purchased and disposed of. Labor time to complete a preventative maintenance (A or B) on a vehicle has been reduced, allowing up to 50% more vehicles to be serviced each day. To date, we have not had to re-build an engine or transmission with the new extended oil change intervals.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with the AMSOIL program that you helped set us up with. For the past 25 years our fleet of trucks, mostly Navistar/International 4600 Series trucks, have been using regular petroleum-base lubrication products. We thought that we were happy with our lubrication program until we were introduced to AMSOIL.

I was very reluctant to switch from regular lubricants to fully synthetic lubricants because the benefits of AMSOIL seemed too good to be true. To be honest, when I was told that the motor oil could go as long as 100,000+ miles without changing, I didn't believe it. I can tell you now I am a true believer.

We have been using AMSOIL now for about 4 years and have changed the entire fleet to AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. We use the By-Pass oil filtration system on all of our trucks with the Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine 15W-40 oil. We use AMSOIL grease and use the 75W-90 gear lube for the manual transmissions and differentials and the synthetic ATF transmission fluid for the automatics.

What do I get out of using AMSOIL? A lot!! After becoming fully synthetic on all of my trucks, I picked up an average of 5% in fuel savings. I haven't had to change my oil since I switched...4 years ago! I can't tell you how much money that has saved me in time alone. I have several trucks with over 100,000 miles on the oil and I am still getting high marks when I send the oil in for analysis But the best benefit is the decreased wear and tear on my equipment such as the pistons, cylinder heads and walls, transmission gears and differential gears. That is the most important to me because it means I can leverage my fleet longer, which translates into saved dollars. It means I can put those extra dollars to work in another area of my business. My average truck life has gone from 7 years to more than 15 years! UNBELIEVABLE! I have estimated the savings from better leverage alone will save me over $20,000 per year.

Thanks for all the help as I've implemented this new program. I am absolutely ecstatic about the results so far and I look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with you and AMSOIL.

Action Tree Service Inc, is one of the premier tree service companies in the state of Michigan and is often called upon to handle some very tough jobs. Action Tree is well equipped for routine tree care, logging, climbing, large lot clearing and emergency storm response.

All light, medium and heavy duty trucks, chippers, loaders and other equipment has been converted to AMSOIL lubricants and filtration systems. Action Tree has some of the most specialized equipment in the business, including a custom designed 80 foot in reach aerial lift bucket truck which is a 2000 model year, 4900 Series International DT466 275 H.P. diesel with an Allison New World transmission. The company also has several large swaploader diesel trucks and Ford Powerstroke Diesel trucks.

All of Action Tree's vehicles and equipment use only AMSOIL synthetic lubricants and filtration systems. Every truck is equipped with AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil, Dual-Gard (for large diesels) or Dual-Remote (for Ford Powerstrokes) filtration system, AMSOIL gear lube and AMSOIL synthetic automatic transmission fluid. Each of the large diesel trucks has 77 grease fittings and lubrication points which are all lubricated with AMSOIL GHD Heavy Duty Moly Fortified Synthetic Grease. Since switching to GHD, Action tree has drastically reduced the frequency of required greasing due to the greases superior performance, while providing much improved lubrication and protection to critical components. All chippers and stump grinders use an autolube system with AMSOIL GLA and 00 Grade synthetic multi-purpose grease.

Owner Adam Camden states that one of the biggest improvements that they have noticed has been drastically improved cold weather starting and significantly reduced maintenance and downtime along with the security of knowing his equipment is protected with the best lubricants available anywhere.

An interesting side note is that owner Adam Camden spends a great deal of time researching, testing and going to industry trade shows seeking out the very best products and equipment. Adam states that AMSOIL is the very best there is and continuously promotes AMSOIL products to his friends and other commercial businesses he works with and proudly displays AMSOIL decals on his equipment, shop facility doors and hangs the large AMSOIL banner at the company facility. Adam is extremely pleased with the personalized service and technical support he receives with AMSOIL.

Eastwood Excavating: Thank you for introducing us to the AMSOIL product line. Although this is our first construction season using AMSOIL products, we are experiencing a lot of good things. I will try to highlight some of the things that we've experienced to date. First of all, we had changed all of our fluids to AMSOIL in February 2000. We have yet to experience an oil change. To date all we've had to do is change the filters and draw a sample, send it in, get the results and experience more extended oil service life. Consequently, we've not had to dispose of any oil. Our services are so simple. We now perform them in the field instead of in the shop as we used to because all we need to do again is draw a sample, change the filter and top the fluid off. While the initial cost of the change over from our past oils to the AMSOIL system was expensive, it was certainly worth it because of the change over, we have a much better filter system providing us with much less equipment wear which provides longer equipment life with less overhauls and rebuilds.

You really made it easy for us starting with the first introduction to the AMSOIL product working with us, guiding us and actually working hands on with our mechanic to help us through some of the change-overs was a fabulous experience. The technical support that you provide us with helps us a lot and we really appreciate it when you just stop in to see how things are going making sure everything's okay and it's nice to know that your support is just a phone call away. This has been a very good experience. Thank you for your help.

Harley Davidson Owners: How's it going? Fine I hope. I just wanted to bring you up to date. I received my AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle oil today via UPS. I wasted no time, and changed my H-D 20W-50 oil to your 100% synthetic. I can already tell a definite change in how my transmission shift's smoother! My engine sound's quieter, and I notice the throttle response is better, and more responsive. Although my H-D 2002 V-Rod only has 1976 mile's, and is still very new, I feel more confident for the future life of my fine machine knowing it now has adequate protection in the engine, transmission, and final drive. The wet clutch seems to be easier to operate as well. I showed my Harley pal's your wear test's specification's, and how poor a quality H-D 20W-50 really is, and some of them are now interested in switching their motorcycles to AMSOIL as well! One of my Harley pal's is a Master Diesel Mechanic, and he quit using H-D oil year's ago. He knows there are many better quality regular petroleum oil's out there than the way over-rated H-D brand! I will happily promote your product to other enthusiast's down the line. Thanks Again......Charles Graham

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, SDF24 Super Duty 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.

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."

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 Series 2000 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."

Troy Michigan Police and City Hall Fleet:   This letter is a summary of a letter written by the Superintendent of Motor Pool. Please contact us if you would like the full letter mailed or faxed to you.

Texas Department of Public Safety Cuts Costs With AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil

AMSOIL INC. and the Texas Department of Public Safety conducted a field test to determine the cost effectiveness and engine wear protection provided by AMSOIL products in severe service applications. AMSOIL 5W-30 Motor Oil and Super Duty Oil Filters were installed in five police vehicles. No oil changes were performed during the 24,000-mile testing period. At the 12,000 mark, the oil filters were changed and one quart of oil was added to each vehicle to replace the oil lost with the filter change-out.

The Texas Department of Public Safety police fleet vehicles were 1999 Ford Crown Victoria patrol cars. The Texas Department of Public Safety invested $58 per vehicle to install the AMSOIL products. Using conventional petroleum oil for the standard 3,000-mile drain intervals, the Department invests $176 per vehicle over the 24,000-mile testing period.

Without even taking into consideration the superior protection and performance AMSOIL motor oil offers over a conventional lubricant, the Texas Department of Public Safety saves $118 per vehicle in lubricant expenses alone. When extending these savings to all nine vehicles in the Canyon office, AMSOIL motor oil saves the department $1,062. Taken even further, if all 100 vehicles switched to AMSOIL motor oil and SDF oil filters for drain intervals of 24,000 miles, they would save $11,800. If all 3,000 vehicles statewide made the switch, the state would save a staggering $354,000 in lubricant expenses alone.

Oil analysis results of one of the test vehicles showed that the superior lubricating properties of AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil provided outstanding protection and performance throughout an extended drain service life. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 retained its stable operating viscosity throughout the trial, and contaminants such as iron and lead were virtually nonexistent. Based on the results of this test, the Texas DPS has since converted all their vehicles to AMSOIL bumper to bumper.

AMSOIL Performance Catches Pro Angler

Shawn Towner, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, may practice catch-and-release as an angler, but Towner says AMSOIL products are keepers - all of them.

"Being a professional angler for the past six years, I rely on the performance of my equipment," Towner said. "Most important area my tow vehicle and boat motor."

Towner first tried AMSOIL products three years ago and he's been sold ever since. "I have switched to AMSOIL lubricants in all applications," he said.

AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil and AMSOIL ATF are in his 1994 Chevy Astro Van towing vehicle - which has more than 119,000 miles on the engine - and he installed AMSOIL 2-Cycle Oil in his 2002 Mercury XR6 150 horsepower outboard motor on his 2002 Triton TR-185 bass boat.

"The AMSOIL 2-Cycle Oil has really peaked the performance of my engine," Towner said. "There's less smoke at start up, no plug fouling, no buildup on the carburetors. Everything is nice and clean in the engine, and I get great performance. The engine never falters once."

He uses AMSOIL Series 200 Synthetic Racing Grease and AMSOIL oil filters.

"The oil filters are superior to anything else that's made," he said.

Before he switched to AMSOIL, Towner used another synthetic and got about 340 miles to a tank of gasoline in the van, he said. With AMSOIL 5W-30, he's getting about 400 miles per tank of gasoline.

AMSOIL Performs in Georgia Heat

Jack Sandow, from the Okefenokee Swamp region of southeastern Georgia, has been a user and believer in AMSOIL synthetic motor oils and lubricants for decades.

“The heat in this part of the country often approaches 100 degrees for
weeks at a time in our very long, humid summers,” Sandow said. “Only the
toughest lubrication will hold up under these punishing conditions, and
AMSOIL answers the need for durability.”

Sandow said he uses AMSOIL lubricants in his PowerStroke diesel, three
“gasoline burners, plus all my farm and lawn-care equipment. It does
wonders for my ATV, generators and even my air compressor and boat motors. I installed the AMSOIL Remote Filtration Kit on the F-350 and the soot removal is amazing.”

Sandow reports he has received long service from every motor he owns. “I
wouldn’t ride my two Harley-Davidson bikes around the block without AMSOIL in all three lubrication points, plus I use AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease on everything,” he said.

Sandow has used AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) several times to solve problems and increase the life of different vehicles. He had a Honda Accord in which the transmission’s overdrive system failed. “I was at my wit’s end after replacing the transmission fluid with conventional
petroleum-based fluids multiple times,” Sandow said. “Finally, I installed
AMSOIL ATF and within a couple of hundred miles the overdrive locking
mechanism freed up, and the transmission began to shift like it was new.”
When Sandow traded in the Accord for an Odyssey, it had 335,000 miles on the transmission, still shifted like new and had never required repairs.

His 1963 Ford 2000 farm tractor used to require yearly hydraulic system
service.

“I had it in the shop on an annual basis because of the failure of the
three-point hitch system to lift properly,” Sandow said. “I got an idea two
years ago to replace the petroleum-based hydraulic fluid with AMSOIL ATF. It immediately responded like it was brand new, and has operated perfectly ever since. I have told that story to hundreds of people. It was downright miraculous, and saves me a chunk of money now.”

Another story of AMSOIL quality involves Sandow’s brother-in-law, who
bought a used Ford F-250 diesel fleet pickup truck. “Upon driving the truck for several hundred miles, he complained that the transmission shifted and sounded like it was ‘on its last legs

With 70,000 miles on it, Sandow encouraged him to replace the transmission fluid with AMSOIL ATF, and the results were impressive.

“The unit immediately ran much quieter and shifted like a new one,” Sandow said. “My brother-in-law now has more than 300,000 miles on the
transmission without ever having to turn a wrench on it.”

Every mechanical device Sandow owns is lubed with AMSOIL products. “All the friends and relatives that I’ve encouraged to use AMSOIL are equally amazed at the results,” he said.


AMSOIL MPHD For Knives

Dealer Jamey McKinley recently discovered a new use
for AMSOIL Heavy Duty Metal Protector (MPHD). He uses his Buck pocket knife daily to cut open boxes and “all kinds of things,” McKinley said. “The knife is spring assisted and I have had it for more than two years.”

He has sharpened it many times. “Over time the hinge has gotten gummed up so the spring would only open the knife part way, and then I had to
manually open it the rest of the way,” McKinley said.

He decided to try AMSOIL MPHD by shooting some into the hinge. “I opened the knife, shot one squirt into the hinge, wiped the blade down with it, closed the knife and wiped off the excess,” he said. “The knife opens like
new. Not only that, but now the tape from the boxes doesn’t stick to it as
much. I was amazed.

The technical support that you provide us with helps us a lot and we really appreciate it when you just stop in to see how things are going making sure everything's okay and it's nice to know that your support is just a phone call away. This has been a very good experience.  Thank you for your help.

(please note that since this letter was written in August 2001, that Eastwood has not done an oil change yet as of 2003 and is still going strong on AMSOIL. Many pieces of their heavy equipment has close to 7000 hours without an oil change.  Previous oil changes with petroleum oil were performed at 150-200 hours). In 2004 they performed the first oil change on all heavy equipment. This was primarily due to recordkeeping and employee/mechanic turnover affecting maintenance on the equipment. Now, in order to make recordkeeping and maintenance easier Eastwood plans to begin changing oil once per year in December when the construction and excavating business slows down until the spring. This is a massive improvement vs. changing oil every 200-250 hours as was done previously.

AMSOIL POWERS HARD-DRIVEN JETTA TDI

AMSOIL customer Scott Farrell, Newport News, Va., saves money and gains mileage in his 1998 Volkswagen Jetta TDI using AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and biodiesel made from soybeans.

Farrell, Chief Electronics Technician (ETC) in the U.S. Coast Guard, bought the car new in February 1998. "I ran a conventional diesel oil for the first 24,000 miles," he said. "Then I switched to AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil. My car now has more than 195,000 miles."

The car is hard-driven, exposed to everything from commuting and towing to racing and excessive idling.

"I change my oil every 10,000 miles," Farrell said. "However, oil analysis always indicates the oil is suitable for continued use."

Farrell races Autocross, a timed handling competition similar to Rally Racing.

He said AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have never let him down. He now uses AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Formula Motor Oil.

"My oil consumption is less than a quart every 10,000 miles and the car is still capable of achieving more than 50 miles per gallon, even with significant performance modifications," Farrell said.

He started racing the car in 2004. "I display the AMSOIL banner with pride and enjoy turning heads in my diesel-powered underdog of a race car/commuter," Farrell said.

"I also fuel my car with biodiesel made from US-grown soybeans. With rising fuel prices, it's safe to say I will maintain my relationship with diesels and AMSOIL for years to come."

" Spoiled Brat" Racing Counts on AMSOIL Performance

Junior dragster racing involves the whole family as it puts kids 8 to 17 years old in the driver's seat in a half-scale dragster. The cars run on five-horsepower, four-stroke engines at speeds up to 85 mph. The modified engines run on methanol or alcohol on a 1/8-mile track.

"Methanol does increase speed because it is a much more volatile fuel than gas," said Mark Benner, crew chief for Spoiled Brat Racing Team in Fisherville, Ontario, Canada. "The engine will run cooler as long as lots of methanol is being pumped into the motor. This means if you give the motor less fuel (rejetting) it will run hot. Methanol has no lubricating qualities. Therefore, it can be corrosive to engine parts. So a good oil is needed to maintain engine integrity." Benner insists on AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil.

Benner teaches his daughter, nine-year-old Keely, the ins and outs of drag racing and, as crew chief, keeps her engine running at peak performance.

Spoiled Brat Racing is one example of the family involvement in junior dragster racing. Keely is the team's driver in the International Hot Rod Association's circuit in Ontario. This is her second year driving the black dragster with the gold flames, powered by a Briggs and Stratton four-stroke motor. In her first year, she came in third in points. Marne Benner, Keely's mom, is crew and financial backer, and little brother David, 6, is junior crew and future driver. David may be young, but he's active as junior crew member helping to refuel the car after a run, load the trailer, change the oil and anything else he's asked to do. "He is waiting very patiently for his eighth birthday," said Benner.

Keely's grandparents are a constant support in the stands.

"My parents never miss a race," Mark Benner said.

Benner and his wife raced full-size dragsters for many years, but chose to go to the junior dragsters so the whole family could participate in a sport they love. While he sometimes misses driving, he gets more satisfaction watching his daughter.

The dragster has run on AMSOIL since it was new, Benner said.

And he kept AMSOIL in the engine for all of the first season he owned it. "This motor had two and a half years of racing on it," he said.

He dismantled the engine for maintenance between racing seasons.

"When the engine came apart this past winter, the inside was just spotless with no sign of excessive wear," Benner said. "Needless to say, there was no way I was going to change to a different brand of oil after seeing the inside of the motor. AMSOIL is the only oil for us."

He puts 12 ounces in the motor and changes it after about nine runs. "This used oil doesn't get recycled yet," Benner said. "I put this used oil in my lawn mowers. The lawn mowers are running great on this used AMSOIL. When I change the oil in the lawn mowers, then the oil gets disposed of properly."

The dragsters get a lot of attention on the tracks.

"A lot of people talk to me when they are looking at the car and the oil always comes up in the conversation because of how high we rev these little motors, AMSOIL gets a plug every time I talk about the car."

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 Series 2000 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 Series 2000 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."
 

AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil Makes Gold Wing ‘Purr’

After nearly 15 years of using AMSOIL synthetic motor oils and lubricants,
Ken Burkhalter, Chelsea, Mich., still finds himself pleasantly surprised by
the quality of the products.

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 AMSOIL 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 who will listen, I just send
them to the AMSOIL website to learn more,” Burkhalter said. “I’m a great
promoter, I just didn’t have the time to handle sales efforts. Now that I
am retired I might rethink that.”

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 .uids installed by the dealer he bought the bike from and then installed AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-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.”
