| AMS-Oiler™
high-tech oil pre-charger |
The 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.

"stand-alone" configuration |
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.

"bolt on" configuration |
In
order to meet consumers’ needs, AMSOIL has
designed two AMS-Oiler™ models to cover all
applications. The first model, AMK-01, is crafted
to attach directly to the AMSOIL Dual-Remote By-Pass
Filtration Systems BMK13, 15 through 18. The second
model, AMK-02, is designed as a stand-alone system
or can be used in conjunction with the Dual Gard
By-Pass Filtration System (BMK12). AMK-01 and
AMK-02 are designed for pre-oiling engines 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. 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. |
