Lube Specialist Praises AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil

I receive positive testimonials from my customers all the time. Many of these always start with "You aren't going to believe..."  I let them extole the virtues of the AMSOIL products they are using and the difference it made for them.


Hello,
You’ll notice by my signature below that I am an employee of Chevron Global Lubricants. I am a training specialist and field engineer for our North American lubricants division. I originally worked for Amoco at the R&D facility before moving into marketing, and while in that role, Chevron bought our lubricants business right after I moved to Florida.
All in all, I have more than 34 years of experience in fuels and lubricants testing, development and tech service support.
I own three motorcycles that I either drive on the street or race. What I wanted to share with you today is my experience with my drag bike.
It is a Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. Originally built as a power cruiser, but now it is stretched, slammed and built to run on E-85 fuel and nitrous oxide. I have taken this bike from a fun street cruiser to a beast that wants to jump out from under me every time I snap the throttle.
The engine is putting out more than three times the horsepower it was originally built with, and with the highly oxygenated fuel, nitrous, and severe use, I have been battling cylinder and piston ring distress for a couple of years. Essentially, whenever I did a teardown, there was evidence of streaking of the Nikasil-lined aluminum cylinder, essentially a scuffing situation that is aggravated by the high cylinder pressures and fuel dilution.
Since Chevron does not make motorcycle oils, I have had to try many of the “other” different motor oils, all synthetic. To make a long story short, I should have read your white paper on motorcycle oil testing. It would have saved me at least three premature teardowns.
Bottom line — the AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle 20W-50 has completely solved my problems. I have been running it for over a year now, and compression and leakdown have stayed at the exact level as when the engine was freshly rebuilt. This weekend, I tore down the top end to try a new piston ring combination, and the cylinders had absolutely NO sign of streaking or other wear-related distress.
Also, all other clearances, including valve lash and valve guide and bearing have stayed the same. This is truly remarkable.
In my training endeavors, I run into a lot of end users who are high performance junkies just like me. I have no problem sharing my experience with the AMSOIL products.
Thank you so much for the great product.
Best Regards,
Sam Vallas

The AMSOIL Revolution

There was a time when AMSOIL INC. was the only player at the table holding a synthetic motor oil card. We were an unconventional newcomer to a totally conventional club. We were the maverick. Our new oil threatened to shake up the industry, and there was absolutely no support for a 25,000-mile oil drain recommendation.
Beyond that, our direct sales approach to marketing motor oil had never been seen before. To say we faced obstacles is a major understatement. Despite all the push-back, we made it work. Our Dealers found AMSOIL customers. People were drawn to the quality of the product. They cared about their vehicles and recognized that our oil could have significant impact on the performance and longevity of equipment. They were willing to pay for quality. Others appreciated the extended-drain potential. It was convenient, cost-effective and lessened the environmental burden.
In virtually all cases, these AMSOIL customers were do-it-yourselfers. They changed their own oil, and in many cases the exceptional performance they received from AMSOIL motor oil carried over to other applications as our product line continued to grow.
This all holds true today. A great deal of our marketing effort is directed at the do-it-yourself audience. We advertise heavily in power sports magazines, including those dedicated to the off-road, motorcycle, marine and snowmobile markets. We dovetail that with our racing program, and our event sponsorships are focused on do-it-yourselfers, as well. We target diesel pick-up owners, engine builders, classic car owners and a whole host of specialty groups that are committed to performance and dedicated to maintenance.
These do-it-yourself customers fit our profile perfectly, and Dealers continue to find great success in these markets. And while the do-it-yourself market remains tailor-made for AMSOIL and continues to offer tremendous potential, that is not to say the landscape isn’t evolving. Today’s sophisticated engine designs and busy lifestyles are forcing people from their own garages to the garages of their local installers.
Fewer people are changing their own oil, and penetrating the installer market should be a primary focus for Dealers. Every Dealer should have at least one installer to send his or her do-it-for-me customers to. Preferred Customers, too, may see potential in this market and view it as an opportunity to jump-start their own AMSOIL businesses.
The company is well-positioned for the challenge. Our XL and OE motor oils were introduced specifically to break down the installer market barriers. Gone now are the API warranty concerns and drain interval hurdles.
The oils are priced competitively with other synthetic oils and offer generous profit margins for installers. They also cover the full range of oil change intervals recommended by auto manufacturers and satisfy the increased demands for customer convenience.
We have a lot of work to do, and with the determination of our Dealers I am confident we will get the job done. We introduced the world to synthetic automobile oil. We broke through the once impenetrable 3,000-mile drain interval. We led the way in improving the quality of lubrication throughout the industry. And now it won’t be long before AMSOIL motor oil is the synthetic oil of choice for installers from coast-to-coast.

Changes Made to the AMSOIL Motorcycle Product Look-Up Guide

The AMSOIL Motorcycle Lookup Guide has undergone a series of enhancements and is now ready for service. In addition to a new graphical layout, the guide will soon feature updated information for 2010 - 2012 motorcycles and additional product selections. Look for more updates and enhancements to the Motorcycle Lookup Guide in the coming months.



AMSOIL Expands Signature Series Line

AMSOIL 0W-20 (ASM), 5W-20 (ALM), 5W-30 (ASL) and 10W-30 (ATM) Synthetic Motor Oils join AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 to round out the new Signature Series line. Signature Series 0W-30 is now identified by product code AZO. Product code SSO will be discontinued and is only available while supplies last.
In addition to being reformulated to meet the latest API SN Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF-5 industry specifications, the new Signature Series line features all-new packaging and represents the very best motor oils AMSOIL has to offer, allowing motorists to take advantage of maximum extended drain intervals. In the interest of consistency and clarity within the Signature Series line, all five motor oils are recommended for drain intervals of up to 25,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first (15,000 miles/one year in severe service conditions).
The new Signature Series line is replacing the previous formulations of the AMSOIL top-tier oils as inventories dictate; orders will be filled with the older formulations and packaging until inventory is depleted, which may occur at varying times for each viscosity. The former Signature Series 0W-30 formulation (SSO) is available while supplies last.
