AMSOIL
Quality Saves Tractor Engine
Nine years ago, Thomas Mendenhall, Suffolk, Va.,
bought a new Toro/Wheel Horse tractor with a Briggs & Stratton 15.5 engine and
put AMSOIL
10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in it at the first oil change.
He used it to work one acre of land. “The oil
was changed only every two years,” Mendenhall reports. “It was always still
clean at that time.”
Toward the end of last summer, the motor
developed a vibration. “Upon shutting down the motor, I found that all the oil
had leaked out the bottom of the motor because the bottom housing bolts had
backed out and let the crankshaft move about with the lower housing,” he said.
He tore the engine down. “We found no damage
from the loose housing but, more important, we found no wear on the piston or
the cylinder,” Mendenhall said. “The cylinder wall still had the original hone
marks and, to my surprise, the inside of the motor was clean enough to eat off
of.”
He found all he needed was a $14 gasket
rebuild kit and the tractor was back in working order.
Mendenhall was so impressed with
AMSOIL
synthetics he started using them in his cars, trucks, boat and motorcycle. He
uses AMSOIL
XL-7500 10W-30 in his 1969 Cougar XR; AMSOIL
10W-40 Synthetic High Performance Motor Oil in his 1994 Ford E-150 conversion
van, along with the AMSOIL
Dual By-Pass Filtration System. AMSOIL
High Performance 10W-40 runs in his 1998 Chevy CK-2500 diesel, as well as in his
2003 GMC 2500HD diesel truck. His 1993 Intreped 20-foot boat with a 5.0 Cobra
motor runs smoothly with AMSOIL
15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Oil, and his 2003 Harley-Davidson Ultra
Glide runs with AMSOIL
20W-50 High Performance Motorcycle Oil.
“What a great product,” Mendenhall said. “We
wouldn’t consider using any other product now. Thanks,
AMSOIL.”
