AMSOIL - The Importance Of Engine Filtration
AMSOIL TAKESTHE HEAT
Bob Bradt and his race team from Cicero, New York were skeptical at first that AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 Motor Oil could decrease their engine operating temperatures and still maintain superior wear protection. But after just one race, they were believers.
Bump & Jump Racing Keeps Dreams Alive With AMSOILGeorge Papageorge, owner and manager of Bump & Jump Racing, knows the demands of off-road racing. “In the most brutal race of the year, we finished first,” said Papageorge. "We finished the season with the same differential! I can guarantee that we never would have done that without AMSOIL gear lube.”

“I run a Yamaha R6, which is the dominant bike on my racing circuit. Of all the guys who run these bikes, the only ones that don’t use up any oil are mine and the others who use the AMSOIL products. My engine has run great all season thanks to AMSOIL lubricants.”
Compared to microscopic dirt particles, your engine is a Goliath, roaring with heat and energy as it converts fuel into raw horsepower. But despite all this power, your engine is extremely vulnerable to the threat of microscopic engine dirt. In fact, if unchecked, this tiny menace will dramatically erode your engine’s performance and can eventually cripple it beyond repair.
THE PROBLEMS
Engine Wear — Automotive experts agree that dirt is the number one cause of engine wear. At first glance, it does not seem possible. Engine dirt particles are so small — mere dust specks — and an engine is a highly sophisticated piece of machinery, crafted from the most durable metal alloys. How can these minute particles bring down such a high-tech giant? The answer lies in the fact that dirt particles are extremely abrasive. They consist of razor-like flakes of road dust and airborne grit drawn into the engine through the air intake, as well as manufacturing scarf and wear metal particles generated inside the engine. These particles are carried by the oil into the precision clearances between bearings and other moving parts. Once they work in between these parts, they grind and gouge surfaces, altering clearances, and generating more abrasive debris. As this wear cycle continues, precision components become progressively sloppy and fatigued until they fail altogether.
Oil Degradation — In addition to physically assaulting engine components, dirt and other contaminants work to degrade the oil that provides vital engine lubrication. Sooty particles generated during combustion can be forced past piston rings and into the oil. These particles act like tiny sponges, absorbing critical additives and shortening oil life. Soot also wreaks havoc with viscosity by causing oil to thicken. And in the presence of moisture, common byproducts
of combustion will react chemically to produce corrosive and rust-producing acids.
THE SOLUTION
AMSOIL Oil and Air Filters — Filtration is the key to preventing costly repairs caused by engine dirt. Filtration is simply a method of removing contaminants by trapping and holding them outside the system of oil circulation. In order for filtration to be truly effective, however, it must be able to capture contaminants of all types and sizes. AMSOIL has developed a complete line of sophisticated filtration products designed to offer the best protection available against virtually all harmful engine contaminants. With an AMSOIL 2-Stage Air Filter, an AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filter and an AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filter, your engine can run long and hard with outstanding protection against engine dirt
