AMSOIL Quickshot SEDegraded fuel presents a major maintenance issue in small engines and powersports equipment. It can form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle response. Fuel-related problems are only expected to intensify in the coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to increase.AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is a premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly clean and restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. It also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods. Its revolutionary technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing small engines and powersports equipment: ethanol, water and dirty pump gas. Applications Quickshot SE is recommended for use in all two- and four-stroke gasoline-powered engines, including motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, personal watercraft, ATVs, edgers, tillers, mowers, snowblowers, chainsaws, generators and farm and construction equipment. However, AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver is the superior choice for passenger vehicle applications. Recommendations Quickshot SE is designed for an initial clean-up dose of 8 oz. per 6 gallons of gasoline, followed by 8 oz. per 12 gallons thereafter. |
Presenting Sponsor and Official OilSuperior, WI (Feb 10, 2010)-The Lovell rock racing team of Brad and Roger Lovell will branch out in a different direction this season, with Brad heading to The Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, where he will pilot an AMSOIL-sponsored Pro-Light truck. "Brad and his team have shown they can be successful in so many different forms of racing over the past five years and we believe that stepping into short course racing will be more of the same," says AMSOIL Race Program Manager Jeremy Meyer. "They bring a great program to TORC and short course racing, and I can’t wait to see the new Pro Light on the track in Arizona."While Brad’s focus on the TORC Series will prevent his full commitment in other series, Roger will race the entire King of the Hammers Grand Slam Series as well as XRRA. In the multi-discipline Grand Slam Series, Roger will take the wheel for his first-ever desert race and rockcrawl, while Brad will enter select We-Rock rockcrawls, XRRA races and CHCA hillclimbs. The Lovells will compete at the King of the Hammers race tomorrow, with Brad Lovell and Bill Kunz competing in the #232 truck and Roger Lovell and Greg Foutz competing in the #32 truck.

Although it has seen some signs of recovery, the economy
still has a long way to go before experiencing a full turnaround.
People are not spending money the way they were
a few years ago, unnecessary purchases have been cut to
a minimum and customers are demanding maximum value
from the products they buy.AMSOIL synthetic motor oils provide customers with the best of both worlds. Their premium quality provides superior protection and performance for their expensive vehicle investments, while their extended drain capabilities provide cost effectiveness that translates into immediate savings. Although a 3,000-mile oil change using conventional motor oil is initially less expensive than an AMSOIL oil change, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils save customers money in the long run. As customers struggle with high vehicle expenses and gasoline prices, they can effectively cut the expense of 3,000-mile standard oil changes from their budgets by extending their drain intervals with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils. Saving Money at the Quick Lube The following examples illustrate how quick lube customers save money by using AMSOIL products: Quick Lube Example 1 A quick lube customer who drives 15,000 miles per year and purchases 3,000-mile oil changes must visit the quick lube five times per year: Conventional Oil Change Price: $32.49 x 5 = $162.45 The quick lube customer pays $32.49 per 3,000 miles. A quick lube customer who drives 15,000 miles per year and purchases 7,500-mile AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil changes must visit the quick lube twice per year: AMSOIL XL Oil Change Price: $64.95 x 2 = $129.90 The quick lube customer pays $25.98 per 3,000 miles and saves $32.55 per year by purchasing AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil changes, while also saving the time associated with visiting the quick lube an additional three times per year. Quick Lube Example 2 A quick lube customer who drives 30,000 miles per year and purchases 3,000-mile oil changes must visit the quick lube 10 times per year: Conventional Oil Change Price: $32.49 x 10 = $324.90 The quick lube customer pays $32.49 per 3,000 miles. A quick lube customer who drives 30,000 miles per year and purchases 7,500-mile AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil changes must visit the quick lube four times per year: AMSOIL XL Oil Change Price: $64.95 x 4 = $259.80 The quick lube customer pays $25.98 per 3,000 miles and saves $65.10 per year by purchasing AMSOIL XL Synthetic Motor Oil changes, while also saving the time associated with visiting the quick lube an additional six times per year. Saving Money as a Do-It-Yourselfer Further demonstrating customers’ desires to save money and cut expenses, recent statistics indicate the do-it-yourself (DIY) market is healthy and growing. In fact, despite perceptions to the contrary, it’s been healthy and growing for the past decade. The compounded annual growth rate for the DIY market over the past decade was 3.9 percent, while the growth rate for the do-it-for-me (DIFM) market was also 3.9 percent over the same time period. If the economy continues to worsen, experts predict growth of the DIY market will begin to outpace the growth of the DIFM market as an increasing number of people decide to either perform their own automotive maintenance or have someone other than a professional technician work on their vehicles. The following examples illustrate how do-it-yourself customers save money by using AMSOIL products: Do-It-Yourself Example 1 A do-it-yourself customer who drives 25,000 miles per year and uses conventional motor oil and fi lters for 3,000-mile drain intervals must change his or her oil eight times per year (*comparisons based on a fi ve-quart oil capacity): Conventional 5W-30 Motor Oil 40 quarts needed for 25,000 miles* @ $3/qt. x 40 = $120 8 Standard Oil Filters @ $6 per fi lter x 8 = $48 TOTAL = $168 The do-it-yourself customer pays $21 per 3,000 miles. A do-it-yourself customer who drives 25,000 miles per year and uses AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and high-performance Ea Oil Filters for 25,000-mile drain intervals must only change his or her oil once per year (Note: AMSOIL synthetic motor oils may be used for 25,000 miles with conventional oil filters, but fi lters must be changed at fi lter manufacturer’s recommended change interval): AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - Suggested Retail 5 quarts needed for 25,000 miles* @ $8.75/qt. x 5 = $43.75 1 AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter @ $18.30 TOTAL = $62.05 The do-it-yourself customer pays $7.45 per 3,000 miles and AMSOIL is the Cost Effective Choice Quick Lube Customers and Do-It-Yourselfers Save Money with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils saves $105.95 per year using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and Ea Filters, while also saving the time and work associated with changing oil an additional seven times per year. Dealers and Preferred Customers Save Even More The savings don’t have to stop there. By registering as an AMSOIL Dealer or Preferred Customer and taking advantage of wholesale pricing, a customer can realize even greater savings: AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - Wholesale 5 quarts needed for 25,000 miles* @ $6.75/qt. x 5 = $33.75 1 AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter @ $13.90 TOTAL = $47.65 The do-it-yourself Dealer or Preferred Customer pays $5.72 per 3,000 miles and saves $120.35 per year using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and Ea Filters, while also saving the time and work associated with changing oil an additional seven times per year. Do-It-Yourself Example 2 Even if a do-it-yourself customer drives only 15,000 miles per year, he or she will still save money by using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and Ea Oil Filters (*comparisons based on a five-quart oil capacity): Conventional 5W-30 Motor Oil 25 quarts needed for 15,000 miles* @ $3/qt. x 25 = $75 5 Standard Oil Filters @ $6 per fi lter x 5 = $30 TOTAL = $105 The do-it-yourself customer pays $21 per 3,000 miles. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - Suggested Retail 5 quarts needed for 15,000 miles* @ $8.75/qt. x 5 = $43.75 1 AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter @ $18.30 TOTAL = $62.05 The do-it-yourself customer pays $12.41 per 3,000 miles and saves $42.95 per year using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and Ea Filters, while also saving the time and work associated with changing oil an additional four times per year. Dealers and Preferred Customers Save Even More Again, a customer can save even more by registering as an AMSOIL Dealer or Preferred Customer and taking advantage of wholesale pricing: AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - Wholesale 5 quarts needed for 15,000 miles* @ $6.75/qt. x 5 = $33.75 1 AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter @ $13.90 TOTAL = $47.65 The do-it-yourself Dealer or Preferred Customer pays $9.53 per 3,000 miles and saves $57.35 per year using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and Ea Filters, while also saving the time and work associated with changing oil an additional four times per year. In addition to the money-saving benefits of extended drain intervals, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants effectively improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy and creating less friction than when conventional lubricants are used. In fact, customers can achieve a 2 to 5 percent increase in fuel economy by switching to synthetic lubricants, while many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains. |

AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils provide outstanding protection
and performance for today’s high-stress motorcycle
engines, and the AMSOIL “A Study of Motorcycle Oils” white
paper (G2156) has served as an effective tool for customers
who want to make educated decisions regarding which lubricant
is best-suited to provide the best possible protection
for their motorcycle investments. AMSOIL once again subjected
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-40 and 20W-50 Motorcycle
Oils and a wide range of competitors to the same battery
of tests and once again, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils
came out on top.The testing used to evaluate the lubricants was done in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) procedures. Test methodology is indicated for all data points, allowing for duplication and verifi cation by any analytical laboratory capable of conducting ASTM tests. A notarized affi davit certifying compliance with ASTM methodology and the accuracy of the test results is included in the appendix of the document. The test results of 15 different SAE 40 motorcycle oils are compared with each other, while the test results of 17 different SAE 50 motorcycle oils are compared with each other. Each oil was subjected to 12 tests: 1) The Initial Viscosity Test (ASTM D-445) measures the initial SAE viscosity of lubricants to ensure the SAE grades indicated by the manufacturers are representative of the actual SAE grades of the oils. 2) The Viscosity Index Test (ASTM D-2270) measures the degree of viscosity change that occurs when lubricants are subjected to temperature changes. 3) The Viscosity Shear Stability Test (ASTM D-6278) determines the viscosity change that occurs with lubricants when subjected to shearing forces. 4) The High-Temperature/High-Shear Stability Test (ASTM D-5481) measures the viscosity of lubricants when subjected to both high temperatures and shearing forces. 5) Zinc Concentration (ppm, ICP) measures the quantity of the anti-wear additive zinc dithiophosphate (ZDP) within lubricants. 6) The Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D-4172) determines the wear protection properties of lubricants in case of metal-tometal contact. 7) The FZG Gear Performance Test (ASTM D-5182) measures the ability of lubricants to protect transmission gears against scuffi ng (adhesive wear). 8) The TFOUT Oxidation Stability Test (ASTM D-4742) measures the oxidation stability of lubricants in the face of fuel, metal catalysts, water, oxygen and heat. 9) The NOACK Volatility Test (ASTM D-5800) measures the ability of lubricants to resist volatilization (evaporation) in high-temperature service. 10) The TBN Acid Neutralization and Engine Cleanliness Test (ASTM D-2896) measures the acid-neutralizing abilities of lubricants by determining the level of acid required to neutralize their alkaline properties. 11) The Foaming Tendency Test (ASTM D-892) measures the ability of the anti-foam additives within lubricants to control foaming. 12) The Humidity Cabinet Rust Test (ASTM D-1748) measures the ability of lubricants to protect against rust formation. To complete the comparison, the prices of all tested lubricants are also included. At the conclusion of all testing, each oil was assigned a score for each test result, with the top-performing oil assigned a one, the second-best performing oil assigned a two, etc. Because a quality motorcycle oil must perform well in many different areas, results in all categories were added together to produce an overall total for each oil. The oil with the lowest total is the highest overall performer. As in the past, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils clearly emerged as the top-performing oils in each group. |
