HP = High PerformanceAs demonstrated in real-world, severe-servicetesting, AMSOIL HP Marine Synthetic 2-Stroke Oilmeets the stringent performance needs of EvinrudeE-TEC marine engines programmed for reduced oilconsumption.

Not only did HP Marine demonstrate strongperformance, it excelled in critical-componentlubrication. Cylinder bores demonstrated 0.00 prcntscufng. Main bearings demonstrated only trace tolight wear. The piston rings remained 100 percent free,earning perfect 10 merit ratings.

HP Marine effectively limited depositsthroughout the engine and met the increasedperformance demands required by the lean-mix setting. Results proved the effectivenessof AMSOIL HP Marine Synthetic 2-StrokeOil in Evinrude E-TEC applications

operating under conditions far moresevere than those faced by the typical

fsherman or recreational boater.

And AutomotiVe

motor oils?

evry onc in a whil somon

wants to know why rgular motor

oil cant b usd in motorcycls.

Th short answr is that oils

are formulated for specic

applications. Motorcycl ngins

and automotiv ngins function

diffrntly, and th lubricantsthat srvic thm hav diffrnt

rquirmnts.

1) Motorcycls oprat at signicantly higher operational speeds thanautomobils, placing additional strss on ngin componnts and incrasing

war protction rquirmnts.

2) Motorcycls oprat with higher engine compression ratios thanautomobils, placing additional strss on ngin componnts and incrasing

oprating tmpraturs.

3) Motorcycl ngins produc narly twice the horsepower per cubic inch of

displacmnt as automobil ngins.

4) Many motorcycls ar air-cooled or use a combination air/oil design.Though effective, they result in greater operating temperature uctuations,

particularly in stop-and-go trafc.

5) Bcaus th ngin and transmission shar a common sump, manymotorcycls need a multi-functional uid. Many motorcycls alsoincorporat a frictional clutch within th transmission that uss th sam oil.

6) Motorcycls ar typically used less frequently than automobils. Ths

xtndd priods of inactivity plac additional strss on motorcycl oils. Rust

and acid corrosion protction ar critical.

when organizing something on

a mid- to large scale, its usually

necessary to lean on other people

to get everything accomplished.

That as the case at the Monster

Energy Supercross fnals in Las

Vegas.

Starting in March, AMSOIL held

an online seepstakes that

aarded the grand prize inneran all-expenses-paid trip to the

Supercross fnale at Sam Boyd

Stadium. Ronald Vines of St.

Louis on the contest and took

his son for a once-in-a-lifetime

experience.

The experience Ron and his son,

Ronnie, enjoyed in Vegas is really

a testament to the quality of the

partnerships AMSOIL has forged.

Several people took time out of

their busy schedules to help these

AMSOIL fans enjoy their trip.

From Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac

signing autographs, to offshoreracer Bob Teague and snocross

team oner Scott Judnick making

them feel elcome in the VIP

suite, to Feld Motorsports taking

them on a personal track alk, it

as truly a team effort.

Everyone at AMSOIL is happy

to hear that Ron and Ronnie

enjoyed the trip of a lifetime.

Thanks to all ho helped sho

Engineered specically forclassic cars and performancemuscle-car-era vehicles, AMSOILZ-ROD Synthetic Motor Oilis the oil of choice for older ormodied engines.

AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic MotorOil is formulated with high levels ofzinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP)

to deliver exceptional protectionfor at-tappet cams, lifters androckers. ZDDP is a proven anti-wearagent that is especially important inclassic and performance vehicleswith at-tappet cams. Flat-tappetcams require a limited oil lm barrierto prevent the lifter and cam lobefrom welding together.

Damage from rust and corrosionis another issue common toclassic and vintage cars thatspend much of their existence instorage. AMSOIL Z-ROD SyntheticMotor Oil is formulated with aunique blend of rust and corrosioninhibitors to ensure maximumprotection during storage. Itshigh-zinc formulation is designedfor maximum vintage motorperformance.

Classic cars need a motor oildesigned for classic greatness.Z-ROD is the high-zincperformance oil for vintage rods.
