Satisfied Customer Returns To AMSOIL

When something is right, it s just always right.

Lars Lignell, Salem, Ore., became a believer in AMSOIL synthetic lubricants in the 1970s when he put the companys original 10W-40 Synthetic Oil in his 1970 Plymouth with a 318ci engine. He lived in Aurora, Ore. then and he loved the AMSOIL motor oil. But nearly two years later the Dealer he knew couldnt be found and Lignell couldnt find the product anymore. So, he went back to regular motor oil.

That was when AMSOIL was first starting its reach across the country. Now AMSOIL motor oils are found in shops in every state. AMSOIL products are available through tens of thousands of Dealers and through the Internet, which brings them directly to your door.

Lignell, who retired after 33 years of driving Greyhound buses, was reminded of his preference for AMSOIL motor oil early this year when he took his 1989 Dodge 350 pickup truck to Dan Judy Automotive in Salem to have a Banks turbo boost system installed. There, he found the complete line of AMSOIL products. He was delighted to find the AMSOIL products again and instructed the mechanic to switch the diesel engine over to AMSOIL 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. A few weeks later, he put in AMSOIL Transmission Fluid.

I was glad to find it again because I had such good luck with it in my 1970 Plymouth, Lignell said.

Those changes paid off this summer when Lignell and his son, Lars Jr., went on a fishing trip into Washington state, pulling a 31-foot Jayco travel trailer behind the pickup in 80-to 90-degree weather. Most of the time the transmission fluid temperature was running about 220 F, Lignell said. But during a particularly long, steep grade just after crossing the Columbia River the transmission temperature slowly started to rise to about 230 F. As he reached the top of the long, steep grade the temperature was riding right at 300 degrees. It cooled down on the downhill side, and Lignell stopped for fuel in Pasco, Wash.

I checked my transmission fluid and it still looked nice and pink and didnt even smell the least bit burned, he said. It was further proof to him that AMSOIL makes the best synthetic lubricants on the market. If my transmission fluid had been the regular tranny fluid, Im sure it would have been badly burned, Lignell said. Thanks AMSOIL, glad I found you again.

He signed on as a Preferred Customer for the cost savings benefits the plan offers him and plans to add AMSOIL lubes to his drive train and the AMSOIL antifreeze. And then I am set, he said. I m just going to keep using it because it s so much more economical. His truck takes 12 quarts at an oil change so using AMSOIL, with its extended drain capabilities, offers him significant savings.

Nowadays, Lignell spends a lot of his time fishing, bringing home big trout, and he has the confidence his truck will continue to haul him to all of those secret lakes trouble free.
