End Dry Starts with
the AMS-Oiler™
HE NEEDS OF AUTOMOTIVE AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT have continued
to place increasing demands on the lubrication industry.
Over the years,
AMSOIL research and development has responded
to changes in the industry by developing products that keep
AMSOIL on the cutting edge. The new AMS-Oiler™ is the most
recent example in a long line of top-quality innovations
from
AMSOIL.
Independent studies have concluded that engine wear during
start-up is a major concern. Even though engine components
remain dry for only a short period of time at ignition,
when this circumstance is multiplied by the 400 to 600 dry
starts a year by the average motorist, the potential for
harmful metal-on-metal contact and significant wear is great.
The AMS-Oiler™ is an oil pre-charger that puts an end to
dry-engine starting. Typically, an engine that sits idle
for even a short period of time will operate relatively
dry upon starting before oil is able to fully lubricate
the system. In fact, the automotive industry estimates that
up to 50 percent of engine bearing wear occurs during the
starting process. Indeed, the superiority of
AMSOIL motor
oils minimizes start-up wear by clinging to the metal surfaces,
but even more can be done to concentrate the oil on the
critical wear areas in an engine. With the AMS-Oiler in
place, 160 cubic centimeters of oil is injected directly
on the engine bearings and other wear sensitive surfaces
upon turning of the key, giving instant protection to
vital engine components.
The AMS-Oiler™ outperforms gas and air charge systems.
When the ignition key is turned to the on position, an audible
alarm sounds while a 12-volt DC solenoid initiates the AMS-Oiler's
operation. When the oil delivery process is complete, the
alarm ceases and the operator can start the engine. The
engine can be started at any time without damage to the
AMS-Oiler™, however, the AMS-Oiler™ is recharged by the
pressure generated by the engine's oil pump. Complete recharge
is accomplished within 40 seconds. The absence of a gas
or air charge eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination
of dirty gas or air with the engine oil, keeping the oil
pure and performing optimally. The design of the AMS-Oiler™
reservoir also protects the unit from ambient temperature
fluctuations.

Specially crafted by
AMSOIL technicians, the AMS-Oiler™
is the culmination of extensive research and development.
“Our products are exceptional when it comes to reducing
wear during operation,” said Technical Director Dave Anderson.
“The weakest link in the chain, however, was still during
startup. With the AMS-Oiler™, we’re closing that last gap.”
With an extremely rugged chrome plated hi-grade carbon
steel reservoir and anodized aluminum base, the AMS-Oiler™
is crafted to withstand severe service and to perform reliably
in any personal, commercial or industrial application.
Unlike other pre-charger systems, the AMS-Oiler™ has no
bulky moving parts which need maintenance and does not rely
on pressurized gas to function. The AMS-Oiler™ is a self
contained, streamlined unit that has a mechanical life cycle
exceeding one million engine starts, with no maintenance
required. The AMS-Oiler™ is self-lubricating with an integrated
overpressure protection device that protects units from
retaining pressures in excess of 90 p.s.i.
In order to meet consumers’ needs,
AMSOIL has designed
two AMS-Oiler™ models to cover all applications. The first
model is crafted to attach directly to the
AMSOIL Dual-Remote
and Dual-Guard By-Pass Filtration mounts, with the second
model designed as a stand-alone system for all other engine
applications up to 500 CID (cubic inch displacement)(8.2L).
The AMS-Oiler™ retro-fit applicability to the
AMSOIL By-Pass
filtration systems provides a convenient perch for quick
installation. For non by-pass-equipped engines, the stand-alone
AMS-Oiler™ mounts easily at any angle to accommodate virtually
every engine.
With the new AMS-Oiler™,
AMSOIL continues to make lubrication
history, with quality still the number one priority.

AMS-Oiler™ Market Application
While every engine can benefit from the use of an AMS-Oiler™,
vehicles especially prone to frequent starting and engines
that sit idle for extended periods of time would extend
their engine life with the simple addition of an AMS-Oiler™.
An AMS-Oiler™ can provide the instant lubrication necessary
to save these engines significant wear and prevent damaging
metal-on-metal contact.
