 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.
