Smaller sump sizes, smaller filter sizes, engines prone to sludge and increased contaminants in engine oil present a serious challenge to filtration engineers. AMSOIL has overcome all those obstacles with its introduction of 15,000-mile Ea Oil Filters (EA15K) . Featuring the same premium nanofiber synthetic media as EAO filters, there are 11 15,000-mile Ea Filters in all, including some that were previously available as 25,000-mile filters. While AMSOIL has had no issues with these filters, the engine technologies used in the vehicles to which they apply are simply too demanding on an oil filter to continue offering 25,000-mile intervals

National Fresh Water Fishing Hall-of-Famer Gary Parsons, one of the hosts of the popular AMSOIL-sponsored fishing program The Next Bite on the Versus Network, could not hide his excitement about gaining improved fuel economy with AMSOIL products, writing the following: I thought I’d drop you a note since I’m pretty excited. I switched all three of my trucks to AMSOIL products over the last few days: engine oil, transmission, front and rear differentials. The news is about my tournament truck.

The AMSOIL All-Purpose Fair Handout was previously sold using product code G1053 for a package of 100 and G1054 for a package of 1,000. The ALTRUM Retail Catalog was previously sold using product code G1670 for a single catalog, G1671 for a package of 10 and G1672 for a package of 50. To improve efficiency, both pieces have moved to the unit of measure system:

Due to limited sales, Diesel Recovery (DRC) one-gallon bottles, five-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums are discontinued and available while supplies last. Diesel Recovery is still available in 30-ounce bottles. Discontinued package sizes are available at reduced prices and revised commissions. AMSOIL will not accept returns on these sale-priced, discontinued items

To simplify matters and reduce costs, many transmission fluid installers rely on ATF additives to fortify used fluid, “update” less expensive outdated fluid or add an extra level of protection. Claims by ATF additive manufacturers lead consumers to believe the additives provide everything transmissions need to perform well and last longer. Despite such claims, however, most vehicle and transmission manufacturers specifically warn against using them. Test data from industry studies demonstrates the shortfalls of a typical ATF additive in the areas of frictional performance, wear protection and cold-temperature performance, while the data also identifies a situation where the ATF additives degraded the performance of the original fluid enough that it no longer met the requirements of the specification for which it was designed

Because cold temperature storage can be detrimental to the performance of some AMSOIL products, AMSOIL offers the following storage recommendations: Lubricants: Store at temperatures at least 10°F above the lubricant’s pour point. Greases: Store in a dry environment at temperatures at least 10°F above the grease’s lowest operating temperature. Gasoline Additives, Engine and Transmission Flush: No adverse issues with cold temperature storage

Effective December 1, in order to increase efficiency and reduce back orders, AMSOIL Retail Catalogs (G100 U.S., G300 Canada, G100S Spanish) will use the unit of measure system to indicate quantities, and the previous G100A-F, G300A-F and G100SA stock codes will be obsolete. Dealers who order 900 or more catalogs using product code G100-PK receive free catalog labels from the AMSOIL Print Center .

AMSOIL Dominator® Coolant Boost is designed to reduce corrosion and significantly enhance heat transfer in cooling systems. One of the overlooked benefits of better heat transfer is much quicker engine warm-up in winter conditions, which is noticed when the vehicle’s defroster works much sooner. To understand how Dominator Coolant Boost reduces engine warm-up times in cold weather, it is imperative to understand the fundamentals of an engine’s cooling system and how Coolant Boost’s proprietary tiered surfactant technology works
