Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Products used in my vehicles.
I have been reading the many articles asking questions about products and telling of
problems with systems on your trucks. I have had problems and have watched others with
problems and from this have improved or eliminated most of my problems. Oil or additives
will not cure or repair a bad component or any other mechanical problem but will slow the
wear process to well below “Petrolium” standards and allow equipment to operate as
designed.
A friend of mine introduced me to Amsoil in 1982. At the time I owned a new Dodge Colt.
During a colder than normal spell with a couple feet of snow on the ground the colt would
not turn over in the morning until I jump started it. This happened 2 mornings in a row. He
suggested that I drain the petroleum oil and fill with Amsoil and I did. The next morning the
car started like it was mid July. I have been a Amsoil user ever since.
I use some of the Amsoil products in different ways, i. e. I have shifted my automatic
transmission to Amsoil 10W-30 (AMO) with 2-3 Qts of Amsoil ATF just to add color in
case there should be a leak I can tell where it is coming from. (The Torque Converter and
cooler require a special procedure to fill and flush to eliminate the need to remove them from
the vehicle). It has never shifted better or run cooler and I have no problems winter or
summer. The differential has 75-90 Amsoil Gear Oil. The Power steering has Amsoil
10W-30 (AMO). I use Amsoil 100:1 2Cycle oil (ATC) in my fuel, mixed at the rate of 1oz
per 10 gallons of gas or 4oz per 10 gallons of diesel. This keeps the fuel system well
lubricated and has a cleaning action that eliminates dirt, carbon etc. Amsoil grease will
lubricate the front wheel bearings for about 200,000 miles before requiring repacking. The
idler pulleys for the serpentine belt operates better for a longer period of time when packed
with Amsoil Grease. My truck is equipped with dual SDF-26 full flow filters plus behind the
front bumper is a BF-110 bypass.
The friend that got me started on Amsoil products has 3 Mercedes Diesels that are on
Amsoil 5W-30 (HDD) Amsoil Diesel Oil or Amsoil 15W-40 (AME) Marine Gas Diesel.
He treats his fuel with 4oz of 100:1 per 10 Gallons and uses the Amsoil Centane Boost and
Diesel fuel modifier. He also has a 1986 GMC S15 with 340,000 miles and no overhaul.
that will go coast to coast at interstate speeds and uses no oil.
I know of one TDR Member that lives here locally that has a Dodge Dually that has been
shifted to Amsoil as I have described. He tows loads from coast to coast that far exceed
the load recommended by Dodge and has had no problems since going to Amsoil.
I know that the way I use these products is not the way recommended by Amsoil but they
work. Some of the ways that I use these products may seem strange to you but they are
backed up by years of experience.
If anyone wants any additional information feel free to contact me.
Vehicles include:
1995 Dodge Ram
1988 Honda
2000 Saturn
