AMSOIL Links

Shawn Towner, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, may practice catch-and-release as an angler, but Towner says AMSOIL products are keepers - all of them. "Being a professional angler for the past six years, I rely on the performance of my equipment," Towner said. "Most important are my tow vehicle and boat motor. I have switched to AMSOIL lubricants in all applications."

He installed AMSOIL 2-Cycle Oil in his 2002 Mercury XR6 150 horsepower outboard motor on his 2002 Triton TR-185 bass boat.

"The oil has really peaked the performance of my engine," Towner said. "There's less smoke at start up, no plug fouling, no buildup on the carburetors. Everything is nice and clean in the engine, and I get great performance. The engine never falters once."

More than 60,000 tourists annually visit Alpine Canyons,
South Island, New Zealand for high-speed thrills on
Shotover Jet Ltd. jetboats.

The tourist trade is tough service for the boats. The
Chevrolet 454 cu. in. V8-engined jetboats are in service
365 days a year, making up to 28 high-speed river trips a
day. The boats develop maximum torque at extremely low
engine operating temperatures, due to the cooling effect of
the snow-fed river water they draw. How does Shotover
protect these hard-working engines?

With AMSOIL synthetic motor oils and AMSOIL
by-pass oil filters. Before converting the boats to AMSOIL
motor oil and filters and propane fuel, oil change intervals
were at 25 hours and engine life in the 500-hour range. The
propane fuel, AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and AMSOIL
by-pass oil filter combination provides 400-hour oil change
intervals and engine life up to 2500 hours - that's 16 times
greater oil service life and five times greater engine life - a
huge savings for Shotover Jet Ltd. 

Commercial fisherman Paul Daniels switched his Detroit
Diesel 525 hp 12V-71T boat main engine over to AMSOIL
Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil and
an AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter to increase engine life and
decrease maintenance.

Daniels had been changing his conventional oil at 250- to
300-hour intervals. With AMSOIL products on board, he
conservatively increased his change intervals until he reached
his present 2000 hour oil changes with sampling and filter
changes at 500 hours.

“We fish three to six days at a time, sometimes trawling
24 hours a day. The engine runs at continuous load most
of the time, which is ideal for a Detroit Diesel. But there’s
no getting around it—we really work that engine.

“AMSOIL Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil and
the AMSOIL by-pass filter give me the outstanding
protection I demand and the extended drain intervals
I want. I appreciate the savings in time and money.”
