Beater Car – AMSOIL XL Offers better Value than Run Of The Mill Motor Oils

Expensive AMSOIL for my old daily driver?

That’s definitely one part of the conversation that comes up weekly with our Sioux Falls customers. Either while discussing our various price breaks with the “Good, Better, Best” lines within one product category or if a 2nd car is discussed in addition to their prized possession.

Being proud of the performance of all the AMSOIL products, early on I decided to become a dealer with the idea of helping others experience the same triumphs I discovered. Convincing people of the merit and that there is a clear difference was not going to be easy but for those who I have convinced just as I, they will be customers for life. My focus all along is the one customer who really has the most to gain – which is the driver of that car he or she must depend on to get to work. They don’t have the option to buy a new one, they don’t need a new car payment and they certainly don’t need any downtime from a locked up transmission or badly worn engine.

Made for the machine you depend on.

High mileage cars is our specialty!! I’m not necessarily talking about an old heap, clunker or beater but they benefit just the same. There are some specifics about high mileages cars that need to be addressed. Well AMSOIL to the rescue!!! It may not sound reasonable at first to use a product that cost $2.50 to $4 more per quart or running around town for an “Automotive Enthusiast” product. Face it – there are some bargain prices on oil at every auto-parts store or even most big-box stores. But alas, AMSOIL may be the only motor oil company to honestly address critical issues of your daily driver.

There are two things to consider with a product brand. Their ability to offer full disclosure and not cheat the customer of available technology by misrepresenting the level of quality from year to year. Then relate this to the issues or potential issues the car that may have lacked adequate maintenance or one that is attended to but the desire is to get more trouble free years out of it.

I think in our Sioux Falls store holds the record for helping customers hold on to their 90’s era Pontiacs than any other. You don’t need a car payment. AMSOIL makes that old car reliable beyond your expectations.

The most common cause of failure in any piece of equipment whether it’s an automobile or manufacturing equipment is a lack of lubrication. In automobiles, a good lubricant/additive blend will also prevent the issues which cause the lack of lubrication. This is generally caused by fuel entering the lubrication system or from the high volatile nature of good to average motor oils and gear lubricants.

Devoted to Quality that Stands Alone

Explaining why AMSOIL is in your best interest can be divided into two categories. #1 is regard to their place within the available quality levels in the various groups synthetics are categorized in (many which for decades market as a premium product are nothing more than a petroleum oil legally allowed to be called synthetic). And #2 how these additives which make up the oil addresses your situation. There is so much false advertising out there that your beloved car may be seeing the end at an accelerated rate due to the poor quality of additives and the fact that the companies stock holders demand more profits. AMSOIL protects you from this problem all together.

Good, Better and Best

AMSOIL has created a Good, Better and Best system, our “Good” offers significantly more performance than these 5-gallons for $13 you see at the big-box stores. For Less than $5 per quart you can improve your engine’s seal function, benefit from fewer deposits including the intake system’s valves because our products are singled out in the industry for maintaining the lowest volatility levels by a long shot In fact AMSOIL brought that test to the industry. In some vehicles you can’t afford to use lower quality base stocks such as DGI (direct gasoline injection) as we showed Royal Purple and Mobil 1 allows for significantly higher separation which leads to intake valve deposits which can only be cleaned by removing the heads.

Other things addressed are better temperature control, reduced wear because our products can withstand the greater influence from deposits and fuel thus viscosity staying in grade. Additives to address fluctuating temperatures we experience in the Sioux Falls climate. Improved start-ups and longer battery life not to mention a jump in mileage. Detergents which can once again allow oil to flow where it’s been blocked off. Despersants which will hold wear particles in suspension as well as other corrosive elements. AMSOIL also addresses filtration with our Ea Oil nanofiber technology which increases filter capacity, flow, life and filters 98% at 20 microns.

The better quality base stocks are actually the part that brings the customer back. Especially in non-high performance cars the driver notices a new feel. A smoothness in the engine that they couldn’t get anywhere else.. And one that stays for the whole interval.

So in summary AMSOIL offers the top additive quality in each category. Some additives are available in 80 different quality levels thus these $3 so called synthetic products coming to market. You will squeeze more life from that beloved car with our products. My suggestion in your high-mileage runabout is a bottle of AMSOIL Flush (detergent based) and then switch using our XL Extended Life oil which has a 10,000 mile or 6-month guarantee. The price is right and you will notice right away the unique quality. You will enjoy your drive better and have more money in your pocket in the long run.

The Right Hydraulic Oil Can Make a Difference.

AMSOIL formulates a hydraulic oil for just about any operating condition.

Mike Caruso of AMSOIL

Although easy to miss, hydraulic systems are everywhere; without them life would become very difficult. Hydraulic systems may be as simple the floor jack in your garage or as complex as a crane. From machines and earth movers helping Sioux Falls to expand as a city to high dollar or vintage farm equipment out on the range. Systems can be mobile, travel many miles to worksites, or others which spend their entire service life in one spot on a factory floor. Regardless of the type of system, they all operate in a similar fashion using the same types of parts. The hydraulic oil plays an important role in the health of each of these components and the overall smoothness and efficiency of the system.

Reservoir – The reservoir is simply the tank that holds the oil. On its way through the system the oil will spend a short period of time here. In that time, the oil has a quick opportunity to release air that’s gotten into the system so it doesn’t contribute to sluggish operation. All AMSOIL hydraulic oils have excellent air-release characteristics, maximizing this important benefit of the reservoir. Another important function is to allow water to separate from the oil, allowing it to be drained. This is obviously most important for systems with larger reservoirs where draining can be accomplished easily.

Pump – The oil can’t be too thick when the machine starts in cold conditions. If it is, there’s a chance the pump will be damaged. On the flip side the oil can’t get too thin when the machine hits its highest operating temperature or excessive wear and poor performance can be expected. To ensure the viscosity remains within the system’s limits you can do one of two things. First, you could change to lighter or heavier oil depending on the conditions or, second, you could use a multi-viscosity oil to cover all the bases. The easiest way to identify oils that resist thinning and thickening is the viscosity index (VI). Oils with high viscosity indices resist viscosity changes with temperature far better than those with low VI. This fact can often save customers the expense and hassle of changing from lighter to heavier oil to meet the conditions. Most oil companies provide the VI number on their product data sheets.

Hoses and seals – Hydraulic oil must not chemically damage seal or hose material and should condition these materials to extend their service life.

Valves – Hydraulic valves are very close-tolerance items and even the smallest amount of varnish or dirt can cause them to bring a key piece of equipment to a halt. Keeping dirt out is simply a matter of good maintenance practices, but preventing varnish is pretty much up to the oil. Varnish occurs when oil breaks down under high-heat conditions. Just being synthetic helps AMSOIL hydraulic oils resist this breakdown, but we go beyond that with our HV Series Hydraulic Oil. These products are high-VI, multi-viscosity oils built with the ability to combat varnish formation. The product data page includes a graphic example of some high-temperature testing we’ve done against conventional oil.

Actuator – The actuator is the component that does the work. Everything else in the system is there to power and control it. As stated before, the common actuators are cylinders or hydraulic motors. How well they do their work often depends on the proper viscosity of the oil, so the same benefits that a mulit-viscosity provides for pumps are true for actuators. Now that I’ve covered the very basics of common components we’ll spend a little time on two of the most popular hydraulic oils we offer.

AMSOIL Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/ Transmission Oil (ATH) serves two functions simultaneously. It’s designed to provide correct frictional characteristics for transmissions and wet brakes while performing as a premium synthetic hydraulic oil. It is used in many types of popular mobile machinery and provides excellent all-weather capability. That means the equipment that operates smoothly moving gravel around the farm in the summer will perform just as well removing snow in the winter without changing the hydraulic oil. This, coupled with premium wear protection, adds up to savings for the customer.

AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Viscosity Hydraulic Oil has a solid track record of success. It exhibits high performance near the Arctic Circle as well as the hottest parts of the Deep South. Our Dealers have found a home for it in oil rigs, on ships, in mobile equipment and in large industrial applications throughout the U.S. and Canada. Not only does it provide all the benefits of multi viscosity oil, its unique ability to fight varnish formation has made customers happy by protecting high-value, critical systems.
