A NOTE ABOUT WARRANTIES   Some dealers and sellers will tell you that, in order to maintain the warranty on your boat engine, personal water craft, four-wheeler, snowmobile, lawn mower, motorcycle, car, truck or other equipment, that you must use the motor oil, filters or greases sold by the dealer or manufacturer, otherwise you will "void" the warranty. This is not true except in rare situations!    First, your warranty can not be voided. A manufacturer may reject a claim against a warranty on a single component due to some action beyond its control (such as lack of maintenance or abuse), but this does not "void" a warranty on other components.    Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, an engine or vehicle manufacturer can make a warranty conditioned on the use of a specific brand of motor oil or related lubricant only if those products are provided free of charge    If the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) product is not provided free of charge, the manufacturer must produce a Federal Trade Commission waiver exempting it from the conditions of the Magnuson-Moss Act.    Usually, the manual provided with the equipment will provide a minimum specification that lubricants or other maintenance products must meet to provide the proper operating performance. This may include an SAE viscosity grade, an API performance level for oil, an NMMA standard for two-cycle oils, etc. AMSOIL provides a listing of specifications its products meets or exceeds on individual product data sheets available at our Technical Data Sheets page. Know your rights and don't allow someone to fool you into thinking you must purchase more expensive and/or lower quality products from the dealer or manufacturer when AMSOIL products will provide superior performance and protection.    For a thorough explanation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, and to understand the provision relating to a manufacturer's right to require a certain brand of oil, filter or other product to be used to keep a warranty in tact, see the following on-line pamphlet provided by the Federal Trade Commission entitled "Understanding the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act". Specifically, read the section: "What the Magnuson-Moss Act Does Not Allow" and review the section "Tie-In Sales" Provisions at the following link: Magnuson-Moss Act.

• Toyota Sludge -- Toyota automobiles have long had a great reputation for quality, but it seems they are getting into the same rut as other auto makers with a recent problem getting publicity regarding engine sludging. What is the cure?
• The History of Oil Filtration -- One of the most important functions of motor oil is to capture and suspend contaminants and wear particles, preventing premature wear on an engine's internal parts. Acting alone, motor oil would quickly become saturated with these contaminants and wear materials and would require very frequent changing, perhaps as often as every 500 miles, in order to effectively guard against wear.

There is a wide range of quality, reflected by prices that vary all over the board. Understanding the differences, what additives are required, and the applications is important to picking the right fluid.
• Fighting Engine Deposits -- Because combustion deposits can cause extensive damage in an engine, motor oil manufacturers use a full arsenal of additives in order to guard against their formation. Detergents keep the engine’s metal surfaces clean and protect against the degrading effects of combustion byproducts on both the oil and the engine’s parts, while dispersants keep soot and wear particles suspended in the oil, preventing their coagulation into larger particles that form sludge, clog the engine oil passageways and starve the engine of lubrication.
• Clark County Field Test -- In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil and the AMSOIL Duel-Gard filtration system in reducing operating expenses, AMSOIL began an ongoing field test in October 1998 with the bus fleet of the Clark County Board of Mental Retardation & Developmental Disabilities (MR/DD) in Springfield, Ohio.
• After Market Additives -- AMSOIL has long discouraged motorists from using any kind of aftermarket lubricant additive. After all, AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants use the finest quality synthetic basestocks and additive systems. In the "Questions and Answers About AMSOIL synthetic Motor Oils" brochure, in response to the question "Should oil additives or aftermarket products be added to AMSOIL motor oils?" it states, "No, you don't need them. AMSOIL motor oils are formulated under the strictest quality control standards to provide superior lubrication performance. Additives cost money and only detract from the quality of AMSOIL motor oils." The Federal Trade Commission's recent lawsuit against zMax auto additives reinforces this philosophy.
• Fuel Filtration -- Fuel provides vehicles with the energy needed for motion, but it also works as a lubricant, providing essential lubricative coating on an engine's high precision injection components. Fuel provides protection against wear, erosion, surface pitting and pressure loss. However, the combustion process in an internal combustion engine produces damaging water and solid contaminants, displacing this important lubricative coating.
• Lubrication Basics -- Lubrication can be a daunting obstacle to someone unfamiliar with its basic concepts.
