Amsoil dual oil filtration system
Has anyone used this system either with or without their Amsoil 15-40W
marine diesel oil in a turbo diesel? I seek research, experience and opinions on the issue. Capt. Jeff |

Where is the REFINERY? Can't speak for Amsoil - IIRC they make it from scratch vs extracting (refining) it from crude. In any event there are very few refineries making many many brands of oil, each one custom blended and refined for its seller. There is no Harley-Davidson Refinery for example - they instead had a refinery make up a very special additive package needed to deal with a unique problem affecting iron-cylinder "Shovelhead" and earlier engines. Took them 240 long-term dyno tests to find it. It was definately better than automobile oils *in that application*. Owners who didn't believe that overhauled their top ends anually and sometimes had valves stick open and hit pistons at idle. |

I don't think "AM-soil" being named like "AM-way" is a Freudian slip. Same pyramid marketing scheme, right? -- Larry |

The best solution for that situation is to not use diesel fuel in the crankcase sump! -- _ ___c \ _| \_ __\_| oooo \_____ ~~~~|______________/ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ }((((o ~~~~~~ }{{{{o ~~~~~~~ Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Southport, NC. http://myworkshop.idleplay.net/ Homepage* http://www.thebayguide.com/rec.boats Rec.boats at Lee Yeaton's Bayguide |

east.superfeed.net: It is made in Superior Wisconsin. Boots Ams/Oil Dealer All I can find about them in Superior is a building that has a bottling plant in it. ONE building. Oil refineries are great big places with towers and stink and fires. What's it made in, one quart at a time in a lab? Why does their website show some guy filling a 55 gallon drum BY HAND? How many can he do a day?? The Amsoil website lists their address as 2206 Winter St. Copied from their "Distribution Sites": Superior, WI 2206 Winter St Superior, WI 54880 --mailing address-- AMSOIL Building Superior, WI 54880 Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri 8am-4:30pm Thursday 8am-8:30pm Closed on Sat, Sun & statutory holidays 715-392-7101 FAX: 715-392-7252 Mapquest shows 2206 Winter St, Superior WI as being right dead center in the middle of the railroad yard with lots of tracks crossing Winter St which crosses the railroad tracks, there. No place for a huge chemical plant, oil refinery and all those pipes. Their lack of a plant stinks worse than their oil....or whoever's oil it is.... Now, here's something even MORE curious. When I look for businesses on Winter St in Superior, WI, I get this AT THAT ADDRESS! Dolly Madison - More Info / Map 2206 Winter St, Superior, WI 54880 Category: Bakeries This data comes from: http://superior.areaconnect.com/restaurants/ The phone company lists 3 numbers for Amsoil in Superior. One is: 925 Tower Ave, which is in a block between Winter St and Broadway St. No place for an oil refinery in one city block downtown. This seems to be the location for the infamous "Amsoil Building". It's an office building. Do you think Dolly Madison lets them bottle it in the bakery and ship it from their train spur?! There are no other addresses on the phone company websites than Tower Avenue. Amsoil doesn't have a phone in their name over at Dolly Madison's bakery on Winter St in the railroad yard. Same sidestepped question.....WHERE'S THE REFINERY AND CHEMICAL PLANTS? All I'm asking for is the location, the address of this huge oil refinery. it's not in Superior, Wisconsin. If it were, I'm sure it would have a TELEPHONE and the Superior Chamber of Commerce would know where something that BIG was located.... -- Larry |
