Experiences Significant Fuel Savings with
AMSOIL
Dear AMSOIL:
I have been using AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel
Engine Oil and the AMSOIL Dual-Gard By-Pass
Filtration System, along with used oil analysis,
for nearly three years. My 1997 Mack CH613
had 176,000 miles on it when I began using
AMSOIL motor oil and the Dual-Gard System.
At the time I bought this truck, the company
I am leased to bought a number of identical
trucks for their fleet. All of these trucks
operate in much the same way, including operating
environment, type of haul, etc. These trucks
also have a dash mounted digital display
of the lifetime average fuel economy. At
this time my trucks average is 6.78 MPG,
and the company trucks range from 5.8 to
6.2 MPG. The difference between 6.78 and
a fleet average of 6 MPG is over 11 percent.
That is significant savings, and the major
difference here is I use AMSOIL and the company
trucks use conventional oil!
Both the full flow and by-pass filters are
changed regularly, and at each 20,000 mile
interval, an oil sample is taken to monitor
the oils condition. Currently, I have 412,000
miles on this truck, the last 236,000 without
an oil change. The oil analysis from Oil
Analyzers, Inc. reports the oil is suitable
for continued use and the engine runs great.
