 Mark
Chalkley is a semi-retired computer programmer
who also is a heavy equipment operator.
His knowledge of heavy equipment allows
him to frequently offer advice on TractorNet,
an informational Website for agricultural
equipment users.
Chalkley often tells
people about his experiences with AMSOIL.
And those experiences have been quite
remarkable.
Chalkley owns several
vehicles and pieces of equipment that
have benefitted from his use of AMSOIL
products. He uses a 1993 Dodge pickup
truck with a Cummins engine to haul loads
of more than 25,000 pounds. He also has
a 1997 Ford Contour and an earth mover
back hoe. I use AMSOIL in everything,
Chalkley said. I have never worn out
anything that has had AMSOIL in it.
He put AMSOIL Series 3000
5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil in his 1996
Volkswagon Passat at about 10,000 miles,
and put AMSOIL 75W-90 Gear Lube in the
transmission shortly after. The Passat
now has over 278,000 miles on it and
its still running the same gear lube.
Chalkley changes his motor oil in the
Passat at 50,000 mile drain intervals.
Theres no by-pass kit on it either, he
said, and Ive never had a problem. Not
a one.
(Editors Note: AMSOIL
recommends a drain interval for the Series
3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil that
is up to two times longer than manufacturers
recommendations in passenger vehicles
with diesel engines if extended drain
intervals are supported by the findings
of a used oil analysis program, or six
months, whichever comes first.)
Chalkley adds nearly a
quart of oil every 4,500 miles, and has
noticed that oil consumption hasnt changed
in the six-year-old car at all since
he switched to AMSOIL. In fact, oil consumption
actually improved since that time. Its
not burning any oil, he said. |
