AMSOIL Technical News Article Change Gear Lube After Break-In Period For Long Differential Life Motorists know when they’re supposed to change their motor oil. They have owners manuals, oil life monitors, oil change centers and commercials all telling them when it’s time for an oil change. Differential oil changes, on the other hand, often get overlooked.

AMSOIL Applauded for Extended Drain Technology AMSOIL founder A.J. Amatuzio coined the phrase "extended drain intervals" back in 1972 with the introduction of AMSOIL 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil, formulated for 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals. Not only was AMSOIL motor oil the first synthetic oil to pass American Petroleum Institute (API) service requirements, AMSOIL INC. was the only motor oil company promoting oil drains beyond 3,000 miles. Today, motorists are still bombarded with propaganda from the major oil companies promoting 3,000-mile oil changes. However,

AMSOIL Offshore Racer Bob Teague Rebuilds Program Team AMSOIL offshore racer Bob Teague has rebuilt his program after a year of upheaval and uncertainty. In 2013, the Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) and Super Boat International (SBI) introduced extremely different engine rules that were a stark contrast to the large twin 525's that Teague successfully used for years. Knowing he faced the ominous task of completely rebuilding his engine program, a costly endeavor, Teague decided it was best to wait out the changes and

For Snowmobiles, Why Cold-Flow Properties Make a Difference Two- and four-stroke snowmobiles use different oiling systems, but both require oils with excellent cold-flow properties for maximum protection.    Today's two-stroke snowmobiles direct less oil to critical components, through narrower passages, for longer distances. Oils that thicken at cold temperatures are difficult to pump and can fail to reach components at startup.  Four-stroke engines, meanwhile, are splash-lubricated. Thick oil can cause difficult starts while failing to properly lubricate at startup, increasing engine wear.  AMSOIL synthetic two-
