400,000 Mile BMW and 20 YEARS Thanks to AMSOIL

AMSOIL KEEPS BMW ON THE ROAD FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS

400,000 mile BMW uses only Amsoil

For more than 18 years, Preferred Customer Ilya Moshenskiy of Redmond, Wash. has trusted AMSOIL synthetic lubricants to keep his 1998 BMW on the road.

“I’m a long-term customer. (I’ve) personally put over 400k miles in the driver seat,” Moshenskiy said. “I have owned my 1998 BMW 528i* for over 18 years. It’s still in the condition I remember it being when I first drove it off the dealer lot. Since day one, I have been doing my own oil changes exclusively using AMSOIL.”

Moshenskiy said he depends on the car in all conditions.

“My car has been a workhorse getting me through thick and thin,” he said. “Over the years, the 528i has been a reliable family member. It has given us countless memories over the past two decades, from the sunny beaches of San Diego to pummeling through two feet of snow in British Columbia, Canada. I know whether I’m commuting or taking it on the next road trip, my 528i will get me there. My only worry are those pesky tail light bulbs that burn out with age.”

Moshenskiy spreads the word about the AMSOIL European Car Formula that has kept his BMW running for so many miles.

“Every time I start a conversation about 400k miles on the original motor, people ask what’s the secret,” he said. “AMSOIL is the secret; It’s a synthetic which actually is synthetic, that’s what you need to know. I don’t think I could have logged over 400k miles if it wasn’t for AMSOIL. Believe it or not, this is still my daily driver.”

Not only is the car still his daily driver, it looks like it’s new.

“There’s something about thick German paint that lasts long and looks new,” Moshenskiy said. “I’m in Seattle and have taken the car on many trips in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.”

Sturgis.

For decades it’s been the rallying cry of bikers from across North America. Riding in the Black Hills of South Dakota quickens your senses and offers an elixir for the soul. So say the hundreds of thousands who pilgrimage to the Mecca of the motorcycle world every summer.

First held in 1938, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has grown from a small gathering of enthusiasts to the premier biker event of the year, attracting half a million riders to Sturgis, S.D. each summer.

As Official Oil of Sturgis, AMSOIL maintains a huge presence around town, including a corporate booth, where enthusiasts can learn about the entire AMSOIL product line and find out how to purchase AMSOIL products at wholesale pricing.

On display in the AMSOIL booth this year were bikes from Confederate Motorcycles as an introduction to our partnership with them.
