Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel Owners

Learn what the manufacturers and your servicing dealership doesn'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.

We are Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, powertrain and chassis experts and are here to help you achieve optimum performance and longevity from your truck.

             

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 a false statement 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.

In a recent  Lubricants World Magazine interview the president of a major national quick lube chain (which is owned by a major petroleum oil company) 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, the president of the quick lube chain openly admits that the bottom line is profits. The shorter the drain interval the more money the quick lube makes. It is our opinion that they would be more profitable by promoting and installing AMSOIL extended drain interval synthetic motor oil. It appears that the short drain interval petroleum oils they promote are good at assuring that customers will be back for another oil change in a relatively short period of time.

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 Turbo Diesel plus save time and money. The Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel is 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 3000-5000 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 "3000-5000 mile oil change" is, in our opinion, completely unnecessary.  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.  

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 over 33 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 average quality "3000 mile oil" will not give you all the benefits that AMSOIL offers: For example, 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 significantly reduced internal engine deposits 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" 33 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 Turbo Diesel AMSOIL engineers and manufactures a 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil that when used in conjunction with the AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency EAO-80 engine oil filter will allow you to travel 25,000 miles between filter changes and 25,000 miles/1-year between oil changes. If you use oil analysis you can usually go longer than 25,000 miles/1-year but that must be documented with oil analysis test results. 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 25,000 mile/1-year intervals and the by-pass filter is changed at 25,000 miles/1-year. The AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Oil does not break down like conventional petroleum based motor oils, is much more shear stable and does not have the waxes, paraffins 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 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesels 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 approximately every 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 By-Pass filter 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 average 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.

If you choose not to install the Dual Remote by-pass filtration system then the AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter would be of a significant benefit to the long term durability of your engine as well as allowing for 25,000 miles of service on the filter and 25,000 miles/1-year on the oil.

Ea Oil Filters feature advanced full synthetic nanofiber technology, making them the highest efficiency filters that are available for the auto/light truck market. They have an absolute efficiency rating of 98.7% at 15 microns and 50% at 7 microns.

When you reach 25,000 miles 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.

Dealer's Truck Draws New Customers

AMSOIL Dealer Carl Samples Jr. of Clermont, Fla. has been running his independent business for about two years. “I really just started working my business program in the last five months after I planned to retire from the U.S. Air Force Reserve,” Samples said. Samples learned from other AMSOIL Dealers that advertising on vehicles is a successful marketing tool. “I put aside $1600 and invested it in a total truck sign wrap,” Samples said. “I have had the body wrap sign on for two months and worked four events a week using my truck as the magnet. People come to me if they are interested, and I have catalogs and information that I give them.” Samples focuses on selling AMSOIL Motorcycle Oils because of the large number of riders, he said. He goes where his customers congregate – night clubs that cater to Harley riders and other motorcycle fans. “I have found that many Harley riders are business owners,” Samples said. “So that has helped get my commercial and retail accounts without going to their businesses first. They come to me because of the professional graphics on my truck.” Four nights a week Samples attends “bike nights,” often giving an oil change to the winner in a drawing. “People just come up and talk to me,” Samples said. “The truck is like a magnet. “In the last two weeks I have signed up three retail and four commercial accounts and 10 Preferred Customers. I average eight to 12 new customers a week.” Samples said his Direct Jobber, Dave Mann, has taught him a lot about marketing his business. “I am just beginning to develop my first line of Dealers,” Samples said. “It seems it takes a special kind of person to do what we are doing–working a normal job all day and then working until 11 or 12 o’clock four nights a week to develop new business. “I am on a mission to be working my AMSOIL business full-time in the next three years. My wife may miss me now, but I am chasing Dave Mann into the next level.
