group of people standing around a pool of oil in
the parking lot. The group was speculating as to who had lost their
oil. Hans said his truck was running fine and went to
work.
Later that day Hans decided to check his oil
because no one had identified the vehicle that was leaking. When he
checked his dip stick it came out dry. He added 4 gallons of oil on
the site, the exact amount needed for an average oil and filter
change. Hans decided that the sump and filters must have been dry.
Through a more thorough inspection, Hans found that his vehicle had
a broken sending unit which failed to light his oil warning
indicator. Hans retraced his drive and found that an oil trail could
be seen for approximately 7 miles. When he returned to his home Hans
found only several small spots of oil in his driveway. This lead him
to conclude his vehicle had been out of oil for nearly 24 miles on
the way home the previous night, and had warmed up and returned 31
miles to the job site that day without any oil in the sump! His
expensive engine had been running normally all morning, so Hans had
no reason to suspect he had lost all of his oil the night
before.
“It would have cost Hans $9,000 to $12,000 to
rebuild his engine," Jerry said. “He asked me if I believed AMSOIL
saved his engine, and I told him yes, I believe it
did!” |

Against Drugs, a program developed by American Motorsports to assist
with drug education in America. Race Against Drugs travels
nationwide to inform children about the dangers of drug abuse. Race
Against Drugs appears at race tracks (NASCAR, CART, IRL, APBA and
others), community events (schools, shopping malls, parades and drug
prevention rallies), trade shows (PRI, Circle Track and SEMA) and
conferences (International Association of Chiefs of Police,

Scott Steger, the deputy director
of the organizations writes:
“On behalf of all of us at Race
Against Drugs, I would like to thank AMSOIL for the support. I am
sure you are constantly complimented on the superiority of your
products in racing, passenger and fleet use situations. In the past
year, we at RAD have logged over 450,000 miles in our towing
vehicles using your products to lubricate engines, transmissions,
rear ends and more. Not one of our trucks has suffered down time due
in part to your fine products and your willingness to assist with
the program.
When we travel we are constantly asked about
AMSOIL and why we choose to use your product instead of others. The
answer is simple: superior quality, reliability, technical support,
and your company’s commitment to preventing our young people from
becoming involved in drug abuse.” |
| David A. Zgrabik of Cleveland,
Ohio, owns a guide service and is also a tournament angler. His
success depends on the reliability of his equipment. He says he has
always used quality oils, but has never seen the performance and
sheer benefits from other products like he has seen from the AMSOIL
product lineup. “After starting to run AMSOIL Series 2000 2-Cycle
Racing Oil, I noticed considerably less smoke at start-up, improved
idling and more power,” David said. “I even have an unexplainable
200 rpm increase!” David’s tow vehicle is another important part of
his business. |
 |
| “I travel all over when I'm
fishing and doing other promotional work,” David said. “After
installing AMSOIL engine oil and an AMSOIL filter, I noticed a 10-15
degree temperature drop while the engine was operating. I was just
amazed at how well it was working. There was also an increase in
fuel mileage. There is no way I would do without my AMSOIL motor oil
now!” |
| AMSOIL synthetics and Rex Shobe’s
Oldsmobile are a winning combination. Rex is a Dealer in Kimberly,
Idaho. He got into AMSOIL products mainly for his 1976 Oldsmobile
drag racer. Rex put AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 in his 5-year old 485
horsepower 455 engine prior to a race in 1999. Rex’s car ran an
elapsed time of 7.62 at 87 mph in the eighth mile and a 12.32
elapsed time at 107 mph on the quarter mile which earned him two
wins. “After putting AMSOIL in the engine we found an oil pressure
gain,” Rex said. |
 |
| “Elapsed times picked up a little
after several runs once the oil got worked in. ”Rex also uses AMSOIL
Series 2000 racing grease in the U-joints and front wheel bearings.
"I am still using the parts I had in the car 4 years ago when I
started using the grease," Rex said. With the Series 2000 75W/90
Gear Lube, Rex is averaging 2 years per gear set. “After seeing what
AMSOIL products have done for my race car,” Rex said, “I am starting
to sell more of it and plan on selling the 2000 racing products at
each track I go to.” |
| Hallegren Brothers Racing of
Kewaunee, Wisconsin uses AMSOIL products to protect their off-road
race truck from the punishment of racing. “Every year, the AMSOIL
products in the truck perform flawlessly,” says Jeff Hallegren. “We
punish this stuff hard. It’s the best preventative maintenance we
can do.” Jeff uses AMSOIL Series 2000 20W-50 engine oil,
transmission fluid, grease and 75W-90 Gear Lube. Jeff puts it this
way, “Three years of competition. Three years using AMSOIL. Three years without an engine,
transmission or gear failure.” The team also counts on AMSOIL
filters and filter oil. |
 |
| “Nothing gets through this air
filter except air.” Hallegren has reduced oil changes to once a
season and rebuilding transmissions is a thing of the past. “AMSOIL
saves us time, money and worry. The only thing we need to worry
about is if the dipstick reads
full!” |
| What’s that up in the sky? No not a
bird, but it is a plane, and it is taking AMSOIL motor oil to new
heights. Al Gaudiosi builds and pilots his own model airplanes which
run off of AMSOIL motor oils. Al wrote in to AMSOIL and told us, “I
have been using AMSOIL Two-Cycle oil in my model aircraft for a
couple of years. I find my engines operate cooler and have a marked
increase in RPM over other engines. My engines are also much cleaner
and have no spark plug fouling. I’m even able to use a larger
propeller to increase my vertical performance. I’m often asked by
other modelers why my engines run so well. My answer is I owe it all
to AMSOIL.” |

Ron Hoke of Eaton Rapids, Michigan, builds model
boats. His pride and joy, a fully modified 30 cc Homelite named
“Good Vibrations,” is equipped with AMSOIL Series 2000 2-Cycle
Racing Oil.
“I get no carbon deposits or scuffing on the
cylinder wall,” Ron said. “I was using 50 to 1 mixed oil, but could
never get the plugs to look light brown. With the Series 2000 oil,
it stays the light brown color I was looking for and remains less
sooty. Thanks for such a great product!” |
