AMSOIL Products Improve Efficiency and Reduce Operating Costs for
Gerlach Trucking
AMSOIL INC., in conjunction with Gerlach Trucking of
Erskine, Minnesota, conducted a field demonstration of its Series 3000
Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil, Super Duty Oil Filters and Dual-Gard
filtration system equipped with BE-110 by-pass filtration elements.
The test vehicle was a 1995 Freightliner FLD-120 powered
by a Detroit 60 Series diesel engine and utilized mainly in long-haul
transports. The testing covered a two-year period and the vehicle accumulated
212,326 total miles.
Evaluation Proposal
The goals for this demonstration included showing that the use of AMSOIL
Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil, in conjunction with the AMSOIL
Dual-Gard filtration setup and SDF Oil Filters, would result in improved
efficiency, reduced operating costs and environmental benefits when
compared to conventional petroleum lubricants and filtration methods.
As mentioned, the evaluation was conducted using a 1995 Freightliner
FD-120 equipped with a Detroit 60 Series diesel engine. The AMSOIL Series
3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil was sampled at the manufacturer’s suggested
oil drain intervals and monitored through the use of oil analysis to
ensure its continued serviceability. The full-flow filtration units
were also monitored and replaced at 12,000- to 15,000-mile intervals,
while the By-Pass units were monitored and replaced at 24,000- to 30,000-mile
intervals.

Summary
Overall, the demonstration was a success. After switching to AMSOIL
Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (and later AMSOIL 75W-90 Gear
Lube in the differentials and Power-Shift Transmission Fluid in the
Transmission), the truck experienced significant declines in wear rates
and an eight percent increase in fuel economy. The pictured charts show
individual rates of wear throughout the two-year demonstration. As the
engine wear rates were reduced, operating efficiency rose, leading to
an increase in the life of the engine and decreasing operating costs.
Even with 212,326 miles on the oil, there was no indication it needed
changing. Because of the extended drain capabilities of AMSOIL Series
3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil, the negative effects of used oil on
the environment were also significantly reduced. If it had been using
conventional petroleum diesel oil, which usually requires replacement
approximately every 18,000 miles, this application would have required
up to 12 oil changes and 480 quarts of oil over the demonstration running
time of 212,326 miles, compared to just one oil change and 40 quarts
of oil using AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil and Dual-Gard
filtration system. Overall, the data demonstrates that AMSOIL Series
3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is capable of providing extended drain
service for a period well beyond recommended drain intervals, while
also significantly decreasing wear rates, operating costs and environmental
waste.
