Free Amsoil Catalog 

All four AMSOIL/Sudden Impact Racing monster trucks – AMSOIL Shock Therapy, AMSOIL Excaliber, Redcat Racing Ground Pounder and Michigan Ice Monster – competed at the Skydome in Toronto, Ontario for a weekend of intense competition. After the racing competition saw a spectacular end-over-end flip from Michigan Ice Monster and a semi-final appearance from AMSOIL Shock Therapy, the freestyle competition featured great runs by Redcat Racing Ground Pounder and AMSOIL Excaliber before AMSOIL Shock Therapy hit the track and quickly took the lead with a dizzying set of donuts, massive air, huge cross threads and a few slap wheelies. The trucks impressed the crowd once again on the second night, with both Redcat Racing Ground Pounder and AMSOIL Shock Therapy taking early freestyle leads before each suffered broken spindles.

FTC Issues Consumer Alert on Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

It’s illegal for a manufacturer to specify a specific brand of oil

It’s illegal for a manufacturer to suggest they will void a warranty due to some standard additive. This has been one of the most common recurring myths about synthetic oil; that it can somehow void your warranty. Harley Davidson did a particularly good job of perpetrating this misinformation. For example, a manufacturer can specify “20w-50” with a specific set of standards but they CANNOT specify a brand name product, or suggest that other brands will void a warranty. This act is the subject of a recent FTC alert. It’s good information

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued a consumer alert clarifying that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits automobile manufacturers and dealers from denying warranty coverage based on use of an aftermarket product, unless they can show the product caused the damage or was installed incorrectly.

“The FTC’s statement should help those ILMA members, for example, who have decided not to license General Motors’ dexos™ engine oil,” said ILMA counsel Jeff Leiter. “Some ILMA members have complained to me that the automaker has made confusing statements about its new engine oil and warranty coverage for new vehicles. It makes sense to hand a customer a copy of the FTC consumer alert, showing that the use of equivalent products should not affect warranty coverage.”

Amsoil Bypass Filter Install–Ford Expedition

Link to bypass filter kits.

The Dual Remote Filtration System (BMK23) was installed on a 2008 Ford Expedition equipped with a 5.4L V8. Since it’s 2WD, there is a lot of room for mounting in front of the axle, behind the front bumper. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware, but I custom made part of the bracket in order to fi t it where I wanted. A spin-on adapter was used to attach the feed and return lines to the engine. Installing the system behind the front bumper requires no more than 18” of hose for either line. The EaO15 Full Flow Filter and EaBP90 By-Pass Filter used sit well above the frame rails and are easy to get to. System capacity increased from seven quarts to almost nine.
