Truck Driver Takes Big Savings
to the Bank Using AMSOIL Products
Terry Anderson
Jr. of Chesapeake, Virginia saves money, time and fuel using
AMSOIL products.
In fact, he saved
$5,679 the first year he switched to AMSOIL lubes, filters
and additives.
TAKING SAVINGS TO THE BANK
- Terry Anderson with his 2005 Peterbilt dump
truck. Anderson reports savings of $5,679 in one year
using AMSOIL lubes and filters.
"Initially,
I was concerned about the upfront cost of about $400, but
soon found out it was money well spent," he said.
Used oil analysis
at 10,000 and 25,000 miles deemed the oil suitable for continued
use, and he continued to run on the same oil.
"I changed
my full flow filter after the second sample was sent in,"
Anderson said. "The money I saved on oil alone in the
first 25,000 miles paid for the by-pass filter system."
At one year, and more than 50,000 miles on the same oil, a
third oil analysis reported the oil good for continued use.
"The savings in the oil changes alone is enough to justify
using AMSOIL and the by-pass filter system," Anderson
said. "More surprising was the increased fuel efficiency
I saw on a daily basis."
He typically changes
the oil in the Peterbilt four or five times a year at $159
each change. "That is $759 a year." He said. "I
didn't have to get my hands dirty changing the oil at all
for a year thanks to AMSOIL and the by-pass filter system."
Anderson also realized
increased fuel efficiency. "After changing my Peterbilt
over to AMSOIL lubricants and filters, I saw an increase in
my fuel efficiency of one mile per gallon," he said.
His fuel efficiency increased again when he used AMSOIL Diesel
Concentrate and Cetane Boost. "MPG is huge in my world,"
Anderson said. "The more miles I can go on one gallon,
the more money I put in the bank."
With diesel fuel
prices being so high, AMSOIL lubricants, filters and additives
have saves Anderson's company about $30 a day in improved
fuel efficiency.
Savings he realized
in the first 15 days with AMSOIL products paid for his initial
investment, Anderson said. "The remainder of the year
that $30 a day went straight to the bank along with the savings
from the extended drain intervals."
Trucker Saves Thousands with
AMSOIL
Blake Thompson is one happy
trucker - in front of his first tractor
trailer that he switched over to AMSOIL products.
Blake Thompson
is one happy trucker.
Using AMSOIL products
in his diesel engines saved him $5,000 in fuel costs in one
year.
In 2006, Thompson
was a diesel mechanic in Fortville, Indiana when he fist became
familiar with AMSOIL products. Thompson had a dream of owning
his own trucking company.
In November 2007,
Thompson bought his first diesel tractor - a 1999 International
with an M11 Cummins engine, an Eaton 4-9 transmission, five
low-range gears, four high-range gears and a twin screw (two
differentials) rear-end. "It was in beautiful shape with
580,000 original miles," Thompson said.
Thompson is now
a local hauler with two trailers. He uses one for hauling
wood products - sawdust and wood chips, and the other for
agricultural products, including corn and soy beans. The truck
and tractor have a maximum gross weight of 80,000 pounds.
Thompson had his
truck for only a short time before he switched to AMSOIL.
With 590,000 miles on his tractor, he signed on the dotted
line to become a commercial account. He purchased AMSOIL
Engine Flush (AEF) and twin packs of AMSOIL
15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil (AME).
Thompson said he
is more than happy he switched to AMSOIL products. He reports
that while towing his hopper trailer his fuel mileage increased
from 5.5 to 6.0 miles per gallon. While towing his walking
floor trailer the fuel mileage increased from 6.0 to 6.5 miles
per gallon.
Oil analysis at
10,000 and 20,000 miles showed the oil was "good for
continued use." Typical oil drain intervals for the big
diesel engine is 20,000 miles.
Thompson was spending
$75,000 a year on fuel. After investing $500 in AMSOIL products,
he is spending $69,500 a year on fuel. That's a savings of
$5,000 per year!
Thompson is considering
using oil analysis to extend his oil drain intervals even
further, but Thompson said he is so happy about the fuel savings
that he is satisfied changing the oil at his current drain
intervals.
Thompson also uses
AMSOIL
Synthetic 5th Wheel Grease (GFW) "because it goes
on easy and stays where you put it." He can also see
the difference in the spring shackles and king pins with AMSOIL
Synthetic Heavy Duty Grease (GHD). Thompson says he used
to have to pump several pumps, with brand X grease, before
the grease started squeezing out. Now when he starts to pump
the grease gun, the grease immediately starts to squeeze out
of the joints. "That shows that the AMSOIL
Heavy Duty Grease stays where you put it."

Premium AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oils offer the longest drain intervals
on the market, unsurpassed protection and performance that
effectively extends equipment life and improved fuel economy,
saving customers money at the pump and reducing the nation's
dependence on foreign oil.
"AMSOIL INC. warrants that the use of its lubricants will not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when AMSOIL INC. products are used in full compliance with the company's recommendations and instructions."
AMSOIL
synthetic motor oils are formulated to surpass engine test
specifications, offering protection far greater than competing
motor oils for extended drain intervals. Most synthetic oil
manufacturers make no claim to extended drain intervals, deferring
to the maintenance schedule provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
With its unparalleled oil and warranty program, AMSOIL offers
consumers unprecedented protection and economics.
Another
AMSOIL First
More than 20 years
ago, AMSOIL began using the NOACK volatility test as a comparison
tool and measurement of quality. Back then, nearly every oil
tested side-by-side with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils failed,
and those that passed barely squeaked by. Other oil companies
paid no attention to NOACK results until Ford Motor Company
made it a requirement for service fill oils, validating what
AMSOIL had said all along.
THE
NOACK Volatility Test
The NOACK
Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss
of lubricants in high temperature service. The more
motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become,
contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy
and increased oil consumption, wear and emissions. AMSOIL
Synthetic Motor Oil resists high temperature volatization
better than other motor oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor
Oil maintains peak fuel efficiency and reduces oil consumption
and emissions.
