Where has Mike been for a while? Well, he’s been busy. Not all of it has been business related, some has been personal drama (we’ll leave that out here), and some of it is the contract work I’ve been doing for the past year and meeting deadlines. I have been working my Amsoil business as [...] Saw this one at a show a few years back.

In some cases they show an engine running forever with no oil in [...] Amsoil is at it again, improving upon an older product making it better and more versatile.

These greases address the heavy load and shock conditions that the pins encounter in vehicles such as power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks and other heavy-duty equipment with heavily-loaded pivot [...] It has been a while since making a post here and writing my newsletter, for those of you receiving that. The last quarter of the year saw several new changes for me that pulled my attention away from here and my other writings. As the new year rolled around I promised myself I would get [...] Earlier this summer I pointed out that Amsoil had released a notification that there had been a change in their interval recommendation on the oil filter for a certain Toyota engine. Well, there is another change in diesel oil intervals in some trucks due to the contamination these engines are putting into the oil weakening [...] Amsoil has released an announcement for anyone using their EaO9 and EaO10 Absolute Efficiency Oil Filter or planning to use one. The most common applications are in the 1.8 liter Toyota built engine found in Toyota, Lexus, and the Pontiac Vibe. Apparently these filters are getting clogged quickly with sludge produced by these engines. Toyota [...] |
