Team Hybrid Showed Up in a Big Way at SEMA 2023

Team Hybrid Showed Up in a Big Way at SEMA 2023

No other import team has accomplished what Team Hybrid has at SEMA and beyond.

November 16, 2023

As they are known to do, our friends at Team Hybrid showed up at SEMA 2023 in spectacular fashion. Eight Team Hybrid vehicles were on site covering a lot of real estate in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Not only did they bring their usual A-game on the vehicle front, but they were impossible to miss with placements inside South, in front of Central and in-between North/West halls.

Team Hybrid didn’t just show off their exquisite rides. BFGoodrich also called on Team Hybrid to be the first import team to help them debut their newest performance UHP tire in South Hall. Set to launch in North America in 2024, the BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A is an on-road, high-performance tire that required a display vehicle worthy of its SEMA unveiling. Team Hybrid President James Lin selected their 2013 Nissan 370Z for the high honor of showcasing this latest tire product that aims to open new doors in performance driving.

Not only that, NRG Innovations launched a co-branded Team Hybrid SEMA steering wheel in their booth that was installed on the 370Z in South Hall. These accomplishments speak to the performance levels Team Hybrid vehicles reach in all aspects, and it’s why they’ve kept reaching new heights for almost 29 years with no signs of stopping.

No other import team has accomplished what Team Hybrid has at SEMA and beyond. They bring the best out of every build bearing their name, consistently representing every product they use to the fullest. The AMSOIL logo is usually front and center on their rides, letting spectators at every event know vehicles of this caliber rely only on the best oil.

Check out the SEMA 2023 builds below for a glimpse at what makes Team Hybrid the best import team.

Written by Charleen

New AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil Viscosities

A new 10W-60 and 0W-30 for several BMW, Volkswagen and other fancy European cars.

Two new European motor oils - synthetic 0W-30 and 10W-60

_by Brad Nelson|September 13, 2023

Those who know, know. The sophisticated engineering, finely-tuned performance and artistic styling of European cars can turn a daily commute into a grin-inducing experience. The design of these vehicles requires specialized motor oils to meet their specifications. AMSOIL is adding two new viscosities to the AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil line to do just that: AMSOIL 0W-30 Synthetic European Motor Oil and AMSOIL 10W-60 Synthetic European Motor Oil.

0W-30 Synthetic European Motor Oil – VW and BMW Owners Unite

Sioux Falls store: You requested it!! For a LONG time we’ve been requesting this on your behalf!

AMSOIL 0W-30 Synthetic European Motor Oil is a proprietary formula designed for the unique demands of gasoline, diesel and hybrid European vehicles. Its precise blend of advanced synthetic base oils and premium additives delivers exceptional engine protection without harming emissions systems. AMSOIL 0W-30 European Motor Oil offers outstanding protection in high-temperature conditions and improved cold-flow properties.

AMSOIL 0W-30 Synthetic European Motor Oil meets the BMW* LongLife* 01-FE 0W-30 specification. BMW updated its previous recommendation of LongLife 01 5W-30, and the new spec covers many newer BMW six-cylinder engines. The new recommendation is backward compatible with vehicles that currently use, and were factory filled with, 5W-30.

Product Highlights

  • Outstanding protection in high-temperature conditions
  • Greater flow in cold temperatures

Applications

Use AMSOIL 0W-30 Synthetic European Motor Oil in applications that require any of the following specifications: API SP, SN Plus, SN; ACEA C2/C3; BMW LL-01FE; Mercedez-Benz* MB 229.31, 229.51, 229.52; VW/Audi* 504/507; Porsche* C30.

AMSOIL 10W-60 Synthetic European Motor Oil

Another one here in the Sioux Falls store we’ve been getting requests for and had to turn customers away. No longer!! This is as hard to find viscosity and specification so engine and warranties will be satisfied and protected!

AMSOIL 10W-60 Synthetic European Motor Oil provides a high-performance motor oil for European performance vehicles, including BMW M Series,* Ferrari,* Aston Martin* and Maserati.* Its advanced formula of premium synthetic base oils and leading-edge additives deliver exceptional protection in extreme conditions. AMSOIL 10W-60 Synthetic European Motor Oil provides excellent shear resistance, reduced oil consumption and dependable performance so you can confidently push your high-performance vehicle to the limit.

Product Highlights

  • Exceptional engine protection in extreme temperatures
  • Shear resistance
  • Reduced oil consumption

Applications

Use AMSOIL 10W-60 Synthetic European Motor Oil in applications that require API SN or ACEA A3/B3; A3/B4, including the BMW M Series, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Maserati.

This viscosity is not available in Canada.

Drive with confidence

The new 0W-30 and 10W-60 viscosities add to a robust line of AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil that often exceeds strict European manufacturer specifications. Its shear-stable synthetic base oils and high-quality anti-wear additives provide outstanding protection in high-heat conditions for dependable performance throughout the long drain intervals recommended by European vehicle manufacturers.

Additionally, the excellent oxidation stability, heat resistance and detergency properties of AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil helps keep engines clean. It is designed to prevent sludge and varnish deposits, reduce oil consumption, extend engine life and provide maximum performance.

AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil provides outstanding protection for turbochargers by keeping them cool and resisting deposits. Impressive cold-flow properties protect turbochargers from oil starvation in subzero temperatures and ensure a rapid return to appropriate oil pressure at startup.

AMSOIL Synthetic European Motor Oil includes FS, MS and LS identification to help differentiate between full-SAPS, mid-SAPS and low-SAPS formulations. What does that mean? European vehicles feature gasoline and diesel engines with emissions systems that are highly sensitive to SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur) content. SAPS are common oil additives that provide desirable performance properties, including detergency and protection against wear and oxidation. However, protecting sensitive emissions systems found in European vehicles requires different SAPS levels for different vehicles – it’s not a one-size-fits-all deal.

Top 5 Skid Steer Maintenance Tips

Written by Charleen

Top 5 Skid Steer Maintenance Tips

_by David Hilgendorf|September 29, 2023

Skid steers are built for tough construction, excavation, agricultural and other professional projects. Whether you’re clearing land, moving rocks or tearing down a wall, a skid steer is an excellent piece of equipment for many different jobs. But these nimble machines can be expensive to repair and replace if neglected. Good maintenance practices are important to keep your skid steers going strong.

A daily check before each job can keep you from getting sidelined. Here’s our quick checklist of the top five things you should check before hopping in your skid steer.

  1. Front End: Inspect attachments, such as the bucket, fork or brush-cutter to ensure they’re free from debris and not damaged. Be sure the arms are working properly and check to see that the pins and bushings are well-greased at all fittings. Inspect the hoses and tubes and make sure they’re secure and leak-free.
  2. Tires/Track: Depending on your setup, be sure to either check the tire pressure or adjust track tension as necessary. Skipping this step puts strain on these components, and they are expensive to replace when damaged.
  3. Safety Controls: Step into the cab and inspect the seat belt, panel display, backup alerts and horn. This helps keep you and the people around you safe on the job.
  4. Engine: Take a walk behind the machine and open the tailgate. Remove any debris and check to see that all components, such as the air filter and cooling system, are undamaged.
  5. Fluids: Engine oil, hydraulic oil and coolant levels should all be inspected. Making sure that all fluid levels are full helps keep your skid steer from suffering from accelerated wear or heat damage to help increase the performance and protection of your critical equipment.

AMSOIL has a full line of quality fluids designed to improve the performance and protection of your skid steer and other heavy-duty diesel equipment.

How Do I Switch from Conventional to Synthetic Oil?

Written by Charleen

How Do I Switch from Conventional to Synthetic Oil?

You don’t need to do anything special before you switch to synthetic oil after having used conventional oil.

_by John Baker| Aug 11, 2023

To borrow a famous slogan, just do it. You don’t need to take any special steps before you switch to synthetic motor oil from conventional oil.

There is still some confusion about changing to a different type of oil in vehicles, particularly older models that have accumulated many miles. A small group of ill-informed individuals in garages and on blogs still cling to old beliefs that synthetic motor oil causes roller followers to “slip or skid,” or that switching to synthetic motor oil causes issues in older engines, particularly oil leaks.

Facts have since replaced these outdated ideas about synthetics causing engine problems.

AMSOIL Formulations Are The Exception To The Rule

More people than ever are making the switch to synthetic oil because properly formulated synthetics offer benefits well beyond what conventional and synthetic-blend products provide. Many new passenger car and light truck vehicles come factory filled with synthetic lubricants – not just high-performance sports cars.

AMSOIL for decades have addresses those old rumors regarding the negative effects of switching to synthetics, most of which were never true.

There are a Couple Ways to Switch to Synthetic Motor Oil for the First Time.

  • Jump right in and simply change the oil. Take your vehicle to your mechanic or the nearest quick lube and ask for synthetic motor oil. Or, dust off your drain pan and do it yourself. You don’t have to do anything special to your engine first, and the synthetic oil isn’t going to cause problems in your vehicle that weren’t already there, such as leaking seals.
  • Flush the engine first. Though not required, an engine flush more immediately removes sludge and debris accumulated over time. It will also stop or significantly reduce oil consumption. Many say it improved mileage due to ring sludge.

The main difference between flushing your engine and a normal oil change to synthetic oil is the rate at which the built-up debris is removed from older engines.

If you change to AMSOIL synthetic motor oil without flushing, for example, the detergents in the motor oil will clean accumulated deposits from the engine over subsequent oil changes.

When you use AMSOIL Engine and Transmission Flush, the cleanup is more immediate and helps ensure the engine is clean and free of any accumulated contaminants.

If the engine has a sketchy maintenance history and you want to give it a fresh start, we recommend using AMSOIL Engine and Transmission Flush before you switch to synthetic motor oil.
