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.
