A Sampling
of Satisfied AMSOIL Customers:
Troy Michigan Police and City Hall Fleet:
This letter is a summary of a letter written by the Superintendent
of Motor Pool. Please contact us if you would like the
full letter mailed or faxed to you.
The City of Troy, Michigan has switched its
entire Police and City Hall Fleet (approximately 350 vehicles)
to AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.
History: In the past, all marked and
unmarked police vehicles would come in monthly for an
oil change, lube and safety check. As a test, we
switched two marked Chevrolet Caprice vehicles over to
100% synthetic AMSOIL engine oil and extended the drain
intervals to 20,000 miles, with a new oil filter installed
at 10,000 miles. The vehicles were still scheduled
to come in monthly for a safety inspection (tires, brakes,
suspension, lights, etc...), but the oil is not drained,
only a sample is taken. When the two test vehicles
reached 70,000 miles, the City of Troy technicians removed
the oil pans and also removed the main and rod bearings
to check for wear using the plastic gauge test.
The bearings showed very little wear. the same procedure
was performed on two marked cars, same year, make and
model, using petroleum oil. The wear on the two
vehicles with petroleum oil, changed monthly at about
2,500-3,000 miles, showed slightly more wear in the plastic
guage test. The results were well within specifications
in both cases.
Currently the city is using all Ford Crown
Victorias in its police fleet. With the help of
oil analysis, we were able to extend our oil changes to
18,000-20,000 miles with a new filter installed at 9,000-10,000
miles. We are currently using AMSOIL synthetic engine,
transmission, and rear differential oil in all vehicles
serviced out of the city hall facility.
SAVINGS: Savings have been noticed due
to the decrease in number of oil filters and quarts of
oil purchased and disposed of . Labor time to complete
a preventative maintenance (A or B) on a vehicle has been
reduced, allowing up to 50% more vehicles to be serviced
each day. To date, we have not had to re-build an
engine or transmission with the new extended oil change
intervals.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I
am with the AMSOIL program that you helped set us up with.
For the past 25 years our fleet of trucks, mostly Navistar/International
4600 Series trucks, have been using regular petroleum-base
lubrication products. We thought that we were happy with
our lubrication program until we were introduced to AMSOIL.
I was very reluctant to switch from regular
lubricants to fully synthetic lubricants because the benefits
of AMSOIL seemed too good to be true. To be honest,
when I was told that the motor oil could go as long as
100,000+ miles without changing, I didn't believe it.
I can tell you now I am a true believer.
We have been using AMSOIL now for about 4
years and have changed the entire fleet to AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants. We use the By-Pass oil filtration system
on all of our trucks with the Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel
and Marine 15W-40 oil. We use AMSOIL grease and
use the 75W-90 gear lube for the manual transmissions
and differentials and the synthetic ATF transmission fluid
for the automatics.
What do I get out of using AMSOIL? A
lot!! After becoming fully synthetic on all of my trucks,
I picked up an average of 5% in fuel savings. I
haven't had to change my oil since I switched...4 years
ago! I can't tell you how much money that has saved
me in time alone. I have several trucks with over
100,000 miles on the oil and I am still getting high marks
when I send the oil in for analysis But the best
benefit is the decreased wear and tear on my equipment
such as the pistons, cylinder heads and walls, transmission
gears and differential gears. That is the most important
to me because it means I can leverage my fleet longer,
which translates into saved dollars. It means I can put
those extra dollars to work in another area of my business.
My average truck life has gone from 7 years to more than
15 years! UNBELIEVABLE! I have estimated the savings
from better leverage alone will save me over $20,000 per
year.
Thanks for all the help as I've implemented
this new program. I am absolutely ecstatic about the results
so far and I look forward to a long and fruitful partnership
with you and AMSOIL.

Every truck is equipped with AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy

lube and AMSOIL synthetic automatic transmission fluid.
Each of the large diesel trucks has 77 grease fittings
and lubrication points which are all lubricated with AMSOIL
GHD Heavy Duty Moly Fortified Synthetic Grease. Since
switching to GHD, Action tree has drastically reduced
the frequency of required greasing due to the greases
superior performance, while providing much improved lubrication
and protection to critical components. All chippers and
stump grinders use an autolube system with AMSOIL GLA
synthetic multi-purpose grease.
Owner Adam Camden states that one of the biggest
improvements that they have noticed has been drastically
improved cold weather starting and significantly reduced
maintenance and downtime along with the security of knowing
his equipment is protected with the best lubricants available
anywhere.

Eastwood Excavating of Traverse City, MI
Thank you for introducing us to the AMSOIL
product line. Although this is our first construction
season using AMSOIL products, we are experiencing a lot
of good things. I will try to highlight some of
the things that we've experienced to date. First
of all, we had changed all of our fluids to AMSOIL in
February 2000. We have yet to experience an oil
change. To date all we've had to do is change the filters
and draw a sample, send it in, get the results and experience
more extended oil service life. Consequently, we've
not had to dispose of any oil. Our services are
so simple. We now perform them in the field instead
of in the shop as we used to because all we need to do
again is draw a sample, change the filter and top the
fluid off. While the initial cost of the change
over from our past oils to the AMSOIL system was expensive,
it was certainly worth it because of the change over,
we have a much better filter system providing us with
much less equipment wear which provides longer equipment
life with less overhauls and rebuilds.
