"It is obvious to me from my experience with AMSOIL and with other lubricants, that AMSOIL gives by far the best results under high-stress racing conditions. Also, AMSOIL is the only engine oil that I know of that has a rust inhibitor. With marine engines, this is very important because outboard motors produce a lot of condensation. If you don't have a rust inhibitor in your engine oil, the rusts will cause roller bearings in the engine to slide, rather than roll. When this happens, the roller bearings will break. With AMSOIL in an outboard engine, you can safely use, and even race, an engine that has been shut down, even if it has been shut down for months. And you don't have to worry about engine failure due to rust buildup in storage.

"Other synthetics will help an engine stay clean, but they don't give you the same protection as AMSOIL. Engines using other synthetics wore out at the same rate as engines using non-synthetics. But AMSOIL helped these engines last much longer, and...prevented total engine failure when a racing engine did fail (saving $800-900 in repairs)."

Bad Frog Uses Good Oil

Bill Reich, owner of Extreme Motorsports in Flint, Michigan and throttleman for the S-30 Bad Frog Beer Offshore Racing boat, has been using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants for the last 11 years. The team has come to rely on AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil and AMSOIL 75W-90 Gear Lube.

"During the time we've used AMSOIL products, we have never experienced a lubricant failure," said Reich. "In fact, we rarely have to spend time removing carbon deposits from our pistons during rebuilds. AMSOIL 2-Cycle burns much cleaner than other products we have tried. We have won seven championships in the last 11 years and owe a large part of our success to AMSOIL lubricants.

"Having spent 20 plus years in the fluid power industry and swerving as the fluid power controls engineer for the Delphi Saginaw Steering division of General Motors Corporation, I see first-hand what proper lubrication and maintenance entail. That is why I insist that AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil be used in my boat's engines."

High Stress Engines Need AMSOIL Therapy

James Faulkerson, founder of JF Engineering, has used AMSOIL products for the past fifteen years. James races hydroplane drag boats and has experienced exceptional performance and longevity from these "high-stress" engines, using AMSOIL lubricants.

"At one race, we ran out of AMSOIL motor oil and were forced to use another brand," said Faulkerson. "In the first race with this 'other oil' we spun a crankshaft bearing! This would have never happened if we would have been using AMSOIL! While using AMSOIL motor oil, we have never experienced any failure that could be attributed to lubrication."

James will continue in the nationwide drag boat tour with "The Nitro Bullet," a new top fuel drag boat.

"Of course I'll continue to use AMSOIL products with great confidence! This is the best lubrication money can buy!"

National Champion Recommends AMSOIL

Don Roseberry of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, is a 30-year veteran of boat racing. He has won six national championships in Mini - Gran Prix boat racing and plans to continue his winning ways for many more years. He is also a winner when he chooses his oil because Don is a Lifetime Dealer for AMSOIL.

Don puts a mixture of AMSOIL 100:1 2-Cycle Oil and AMOCO Gasoline in his Evinrude 25 H.P. engine. "With this mixture, the engine gets plenty of lubrication and stays nice and clean," he said.

Don also uses AMSOIL Automatic Transmission Fluid in the lower unit. "I find that the lower unit is much freer with less friction in the gears.

"I would recommend AMSOIL products to anybody," Don concluded.

Product Feature: Series 2000 0w30 Synthetic Motor Oil More Power, Better Reliability

Rick Remley of Green Bay, Wisconsin, (formerly of Lake Villa, Illinois) said he uses AMSOIL Synthetic 100:1 2-Cycle Oil because he gains more RPMs and power.

Rick also uses AMSOIL 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube. "AMSOIL 75W-90 Gear Lube has been great on my equipment," Rick stated. "I haven't had a failed part in three consecutive years of racing the same lower unit!"

Tourists Get Ride of Their Life

Ray Sigvertsen, an AMSOIL Direct from New Zealand recently reported on the success that one of his commercial accounts is having through the use of AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants:

"Tourist operator Shotover Jet Ltd. in New Zealand's scenic Alpine South Island, gives tourists by the thousands a thrill of a lifetime in high-speed jet boats and confirms the savings potential of AMSOIL products ...

These New Zealand-invented jet-boats powered by Chevrolet 454-cu-in. V8 engines driving high volume water jet pumps, propel these boats at high speed along snow-fed rivers in Alpine Canyons in the Queenstown area of New Zealand's South Island ...

Two of these craft are in daily service all year (with a spare boat as a back-up) ... often doing up to 28 high-speed trips a day each. Last season more than 60,000 tourists from all around the world were treated to this exciting river ride ...

For the past six years the engines in these Propane-fueled (L.P.G.) Jet Boats have been lubricated by AMSOIL Lubricants. Previously the oil change intervals were restricted to 25 hours and the life of an engine was rarely beyond 500 hours before replacement. Since converting to AMSOIL motor oils and the L.P.G. fuel, the oil change intervals have been extended to 150 hours and the fitting of By-Pass Filter kits is expected to extend this to 400 hours with careful monitoring of the oil condition by oil analysis.

Engine life has also been increased dramatically by up to 500% with engines not requiring replacement until 2500 hours of severe operating conditions...Each engine is expected to develop maximum effort at peak torque R.P.M. while being cooled to lower than normal by the water drawn in from the very cold snow-fed river.

It is under these extremes of operating conditions that AMSOIL has shown outstanding performance and has continued to deliver an economy payback in terms of reduced operating costs... greater reliability and business efficiency to Shotover Jet Ltd, and customer satisfaction to their International tourist clientele ...

Product Feature: Series 2000 0w30 Synthetic Motor Oil AMSOIL Powered Hovercraft

Hovertechnics Inc. is a manufacturer of hovercraft and a proponent of AMSOIL 100:1 2-Cycle Oil. Hovercraft are vehicles that ride on a cushion of air. This cushion is created by a rotating fan which forces air down underneath the vehicle, lifting it off of the ground and propelling it forward. Hovertechnics use 48-horsepower Yamaha two-cycle engines to power their hovercraft. The engines must be kept running at 7,000 RPM to keep the proper air foil underneath the vehicle.

Hovertechnics had some problems with overheating and several engines seized up from the severe operating conditions. These problems occurred while using non-synthetic 2-cycle oil, and soon Hovertechnics began looking for a lubricant that would protect their engines from the severe stresses caused by high RPM. They tried AMSOIL 100:1 2-Cycle Oil at the suggestion of AMSOIL Dealer George Friske.
