Synthetic Lubricants for Dodge Trucks
- Cummins Recommendations
The best Amsoil Products for your vehicle are explained here including diesel oil, oil filters, brake fluids, air filters, etc.
 We
are Dodge Cummins Turbo
Dieselengine, powertrain and
chassis experts and are here to help you achieve optimum
performance and longevity from your truck.
Learn what the manufacturers and your
servicing dealership don't want you to know about AMSOIL
synthetic oil from experienced
OEM Truck Engineers and Lubrication Specialists right here
in the auto and truck engineering and manufacturing capital
of the world- Detroit, Michigan.
You've spent your hard earned money on the
Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel option in one of the most
popular and best engineered trucks there is, now don't you
think you owe it to yourself to use the very best oil in it?
And don't let your local dealership service center tell you
that you you have to use their brand of oil to "maintain
your warranty". That is one of the biggest untruths we have
heard yet it goes on day in and day out. We constantly
receive calls from customers that were told this by their
servicing dealership. This practice is not authorized or
condoned by the auto manufacturers, but the fact is it still
goes on.
How a servicing dealership can essentially tell a customer that
they have to use a lower quality oil to "maintain their
warranty" is not only wrong but it is also illegal unless they
provide it free of charge. There are Federal laws that protect
you against this. Please read our Warranty
Laws You Need to Know section of this website to learn
more.
We intend to expose the truth of how the petroleum industry and
the quick lubes, dealership oil service centers, etc. work to
get your money on a regular basis. In a recent Lubricants
World Magazine interview the president of Jiffy Lube
International (owned by Penzoil- Quaker State), Marc Graham
states that if they can get customers to shorten their drain
intervals by 100 miles it would mean an additional $20 million
in revenue for the company per year and if they can get
consumers to do one more oil change per year it would mean $294
million for the oil change alone and $441 million in revenue
when they include ancillary products and services that go along
with the oil change. In fact, Graham openly admits that the
bottom line is profits. The shorter the drain interval the more
money Jiffy Lube and Penzoil-Quaker State make. With statements
like this it sure appears that they apparently don't care about
your vehicle and selling you a quality extended drain interval
synthetic, like AMSOIL. All they want is to see the same
customer over and over again as often as possible!
We are here to help you learn the
facts and show you how you can use AMSOIL and get a superior
product and also increase the performance and add to the
longevity of your Dodge Cummins TurboDiesel plus save time and money.
The Dodge Cummins Turbo
Dieselis an excellent
vehicle and exceptionally well engineered by
Daimler-Chrysler and Cummins. In our opinion it is one of
the best vehicles ever produced, however there are ways
to make the performance and longevity even better with
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.
Current recommended practice is to change your oil every 3000
miles with petroleum based oil as well as with many other
brands of synthetic oils. This is completely unnecessary with
the AMSOIL technology that is available today, and has been
available since 1972. AMSOIL extended drain interval synthetic
oil causes lost profits in regular quick lube oil changes and
other service work. Several dealerships we have visited stated
that they like to keep customers coming in every 3000 miles so
they can look the vehicle over and find other components that
they can service.
The 3000 mile oil change, in this day
and age of high-performance synthetics, is in our opinion one
of the biggest scams on the American public ever. Many of the
same companies that continue to recommend the "3000 mile oil
change" in the U.S. currently manufacture and/or recommend, and
have for many years, 12,000-18,000 mile synthetic oil changes
in Europe! In fact Europe's goal is to reach 30,000 mile oil
change intervals in the near future. That is a proven fact that
they don't want you to know.
The 3000 mile oil change is in our opinion a big money
generator for all parties involved with it. They want to sell
oil, as well as possibly find other things to repair, and they
want to ensure you come back on a regular basis. What
better way is there to do that than with the " 3000 mile oil
change". You pay on a regular basis and are constantly keeping
track of when the next oil change is required, especially if
you log a lot of miles. "3000 mile oil" will provide average
performance and longevity of your engine and that is about it.
Over a period of time, internal sludge and varnish build up
from petroleum oil can possibly start causing problems, namely
piston ring groove and valve sticking as one of the top issues
that has been identified. If you change it yourself, you can
save some money but you still have your time involved plus all
the waste oil to dispose of.
The people that run the quick lubes and service centers are
there to make profits by seeing you on a regular basis and do
not care about extending your vehicles life. We know this
because we have tried to get some of the quick lubes and
dealership service centers to carry AMSOIL extended drain
interval gas engine oil (25,000 miles/1-year and 35,000
miles/1-year with the 0W-30) and get the standard response that
they know it is an excellent product but if they install it
they cannot keep customers coming back as often. AMSOIL then
tailored a special top quality reduced mileage extended drain
interval oil (called XL7500) of 7500 miles for gas engine
vehicles for the quick lubes so they can keep customers coming
back but still give them added convenience of extended drains
intervals. This has proven to be an excellent program for all
involved.
In addition, many companies have tested AMSOIL and know how
good it is and many auto engineers even use it in their own
vehicles but we believe they will not use it in production for
"political reasons". It is our opinion that oil companies need
to sell large volumes of oil and auto companies want your
engine and powertrain to have somewhat of a finite life. Enough
life so that you are a very satisfied and happy customer and
will come back and buy another one yet not so long that you
won't need to buy another vehicle. Petroleum oil appears to
accomplish both objectives perfectly. AMSOIL has been proven
for 30 years to prevent that from happening.
I have an article about an AMSOIL user with 731,000 miles on
his 1993 Ford Aerostar on the original engine and transmission.
He was using AMSOIL from the beginning. This type of mileage is
not uncommon when using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. Now, what
do you think would happen it everybody used AMSOIL and got that
much mileage on their vehicles? The auto companies like to hear
reports of stuff like this on a small time basis but not on a
large scale as it would have major negative economic
implications.
Nobody in the business of selling petroleum oil and repairing
vehicles is going to tell you how to extend your drain
intervals using AMSOIL technology and they know very little, if
anything, about the technical and engineering aspects of
lubrication, filtration and oil analysis science.
Simply changing your oil more often with "3000 mile oil"
will not give you all the benefits that AMSOIL offers: You
will not get improved fuel economy, you will not get reduced
engine wear, you will not get reduced operating temperatures,
you will not get extended drain intervals and you will not save
money in the long run. Please, allow
us to show you a better way. We are here to help you. You have
everything to gain and absolutely nothing to
lose!
AMSOIL has been in business since 1972 and was the first
company in the world to develop an API (Automotive Petroleum
Institute) rated synthetic lubricant for automotive
applications. They coined the phrase "extended drain intervals"
30 years ago and have been on the leading edge of technology
and innovation ever since then. We have many satisfied
customers using AMSOIL products in both their commercial,
trucking, fleet as well as personal, family and recreational
vehicles. Read what some of our satisfied customers have to say
by clicking on the satisfied customers link at the left of this
page. We hope you will allow us to
show you a proven better way. We are here to help you and are
at your service to assist you in your advanced technology
lubrication and filtration needs.
Specifically for the
Dodge Cummins TurboDiesel AMSOIL engineers and
manufactures a 15W-40
Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil that when used in
conjunction with the AMSOIL nanotechnology engine oil filter
will allow you to travel 7,500-10,000 miles between filter
changes and 20,000 miles/1-year between oil changes. This
was established by oil analysis testing. If you use oil
analysis you can usually go longer than 20,000 miles.
Other AMSOIL benefits include reduced sludge and deposit
formation, extreme temperature protection, improved fuel
efficiency and rust and corrosion prevention and it does not
void any new vehicle warranty. AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants
meet and exceed all API rated and Dodge
specifications
The other option is to install an AMSOIL Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration
System. With this system you only change your
oil when oil analysis indicates. The regular full flow filter
is changed at 7,500-10,000 mile intervals and the by-pass
filter is changed at a minimum of 25,000 miles/1-year (or
longer with oil analysis). The AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty
Diesel Oil does not break down like conventional petroleum
based motor oils, is much more shear stable and does not have
the waxes, paraffin's and by-products that come out of crude
oil that is pumped from the earth.
The by-pass filter removes the particles that
cause wear in your engine down to less than one micron (a
micron equals 0.001 mm) and keeps the engine oil analytically
clean so you do not need to change your oil for a long time,
while still getting far better protection than someone that
changes their oil every 3000 miles. We are experienced at
installing these units on Cummins Diesel Engines and can
provide you with exact installation instructions, tips, bracket
prints and photographs of our company truck.
We have many customers with years of service and tens of
thousands of miles on their Dodge Cummins
Turbo Diesels with no oil changes.. Laboratory oil
chemical analysis every 15-20,000 miles indicates the oil is
perfectly suitable for continued service. Other customers have
traveled well over 100,000 miles and oil analysis still
indicates no oil change necessary. I will mail you a copy of a
high mileage Dodge Cummins Turbo oil
analysis test results with your product and technical
information package so you can see the data for yourself. In
addition, the AMSOIL Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration System will
also remove up to a pint of water from your vehicle's
lubrication system, which is especially important in a diesel
engine. Without this the water promotes rust, corrosion and
rapid wear. Internal engine heat also creates acids which also
wear the engine components. The water and acids build and
continue to work destroying your engine even after engine
shutdown.
Oil analysis provides a big return for your small investment by
extending equipment life by preventing premature component
failure, reducing maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary
component changes and a decrease in downtime due to premature
scheduled maintenance as well enabling calculation of optimum
drain intervals that will reduce lubricant costs and assure
maximum equipment protection.
Your regular full flow engine oil filter will only remove wear
particles down to the 20-25 micron range. The filter cannot
remove finer particles because the oil must be filtered quickly
while removing most of the particles present in the oil, except
the particles below the 20 micron range. A study completed by
Federal Mogul Corp. analyzing over 7000 main and connecting rod
bearings concluded that 60% of all engine wear occurs in the
5-20 micron range. This is why no matter how much you change
your current full flow oil and filter, regardless of brand,
that you still are not removing the particles that cause the
greatest wear in your engine.
The AMSOIL Super Duty engine oil filter utilizes a depth-type
lofted fiber media that traps and holds dirt throughout its
entire thickness whereas a regular folded paper surface-type
filter quickly becomes restricted as debris builds up on the
paper surface. The AMSOIL full flow filter has a finer
synthetic cellulose filtration media, 75% greater efficiency
and up to 300% greater capacity than other popular oil filters
as tested according to the Society of Automotive Engineers
HS806 test method.
If you choose not to install the Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration System then
the AMSOIL Ea Air Filters would be of a
significant benefit to the long term durability of your
engine as well as allowing for 15,000 miles of service on
the filter. When the filter is changed at 15,000 miles
all you have to do is top off the oil. When you reach
15,000 miles/1-year you can either change the oil and
filter or take an oil sample from the dipstick tube using
an AMSOIL sampling pump and send it into Oil Analyzer's
Inc. using a pre-paid kit. Oil analysis will indicate the
exact condition of the oil and whether it is suitable for
continued service as well as determining if there are any
other engine components or wear items that you need to be
concerned with.
Amsoil Dealer's
Note: As a general rule, always change the
oil and filter after one year. If you drive more than 15,000
miles in a year then change the filter when the mileage
reaches 15,000. If you drive less than 15,000 miles in one
year you still must change the oil and filter after the year
is up. If you would like to keep using the oil then you must
enter an oil analysis program.
AMSOIL has a complete line of synthetic oils, greases,
transmission fluids, gear lubes, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, by-pass and
full flow filters and filtration systems designed to extend the life of your vehicles
and equipment and save you time and money. In

How
do AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel Oils perform vs.
Shell Rotella T
|
|
Maintain Power with
AMSOIL Diesel
Oils
When you or your
customers notice reduced performance in
Navistar/International diesel engine
equipped vehicles, AMSOIL diesel oils can
help solve the problem.
|
 Navistar/international
diesel engines with Hydraulic
Electronic Unit Injectors, used in
Ford pickups, vans and school buses,
sometimes suffer drivability problems
due to oil foaming. Leaching of RTV
silicone from the oil pan gasket into
the oil causes the foaming. Foamy oil
interferes with fuel injection, which
reduces engine power.
The ASTM
D 892 Foam Test, Sequences 2 and 4, are
used to evaluate diesel oils on their
foaming characteristics relevant to this
engine. Recent testing performed by an
independent lab shows the results
below.
According to test
results, AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty
Diesel and Marine Oil (AME) and AMSOIL
Series 2000 Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty
Diesel Oil (HDD) are clearly not prone to
foaming or contributory to the foam-caused
drivability problems of the IH
engine.
The test
also shows AME and HDD dissipate foam more
quickly than Rotella T, a popular diesel
oil often recommended by Ford. Faster foam
dissipation means reduced foam related
drivability problems.
Let your
customers know that silicone leaching
diminishes with increased engine mileage,
and in the meantime the solution to foam-
induced drivability problems, regardless of
oil brand in use, is an oil
change.
