Team Amsoil Offshore racing – Bob Teague

Rough Seas Can’t Slow Down Team AMSOIL

Team AMSOIL Offshore traveled east to Long Island to attend the popular Battle on the Bay.
After extensive testing on Saturday, Bob Teague and Paul Whittier had to make major adjustments for their race on Sunday after a major storm blew through the region.
The start of the their race was delayed as storm fronts continued to pound the race course. While the race conditions didn’t improve after the race started, the AMSOIL team battled five foot waves and took the early lead over the field and held on for the win. It was the second win in a row that Team AMSOIL has earned at Patchogue. They also remain undefeated in the OPA Miss Geico Series in 2010.
Next stop is the OPA/GEICO Race in Atlantic City on September 17-19.

Trey Canard Wins Again

GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda rider Trey Canard swept both 250cc motos at Saturday’s Steel City National to pull within seven points of the AMA Motocross championship points lead with one race left on the 2010 schedule. The impressive outing yielded Canard’s fifth overall title of the outdoor season, by far the most of any rider in his class.
Canard shared the spotlight with his AMSOIL teammates Kevin Windham and Brett Metcalfe, who finished 1-2 on the day in the 450cc category. Windham won the first moto and was runner-up in the second, while Metcalfe bagged second and third-place finishes.
“Right from the start today we were good,” said Canard. “My first practice was strong. The second one was even better. The first moto was just awesome. I was really stoked with the way I rode. I was just solid. It was close the whole race and (points leader Christophe Pourcel) was right behind me the whole time but I kept him there.”
Thirteen points behind Christophe Pourcel at the start of the event, Canard fought hard to hold off the defending series champion in both motos.

A mid-season replacement for injured Honda pro Davi Millsaps, Windham’s moto win and overall title were his first of the outdoor season. He led seven laps on the day.
“I practiced great and stayed near the front either in first, second or third, so we got off to a great start and went from there,” Windham said. “Winning the first moto was fun. It was a great race going back and forth with my old teammate Metty. We were all giving each other some ribbing all day and that made it a lot of fun.”
Metcalfe’s hard riding moved him around Honda rider Andrew Short for second in the championship standings. He is now five points ahead of Short with one race left. The 450cc title has been secured by Ryan Dungey, who won the day’s second moto.
“Awesome day,” Metcalfe said. “To pick up a second and a third and gain all those points is exactly what we needed. The bike was strong. Everything was really clicking for me today.”
Team riders Eli Tomac, Justin Barcia, and Blake Wharton remained in the mix with top-10 finishes of their own. Tomac finished fourth in Moto 1 and fifth in Moto 2 for an overall ranking of fourth. Barcia rebounded from a 10th-place result in the first moto to a sixth-place finish in Moto 2 to end the event sixth. Wharton was seventh and ninth in the two races, which equaled a seventh-place overall result.
The championship will be decided next Saturday at Pala Raceway outside San Diego.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil (MCS) is a premium oil designed for those who

SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV)

demand the absolute best lubrication for their motorcycles. AMSOIL Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive research, and it is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears and rust common to short drives and storage.

AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil features superior heat resistance and wear protection. It is shear-stable and helps maintain proper oil pressure in elevated temperatures. AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil stops viscosity breakdown (loss), protects gears and chains, and meets SAE 140, API GL-1 gear oil requirements. It is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils.

AMSOIL, the leader in synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your motorcycle.

Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has exceptional high-temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.

Extreme-Pressure Protection for Gears
With AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for a separate transmission lubricant

. It is shear-stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives.

Superior Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller bearing failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and blow-by. Good rust protection, however,

comes by design and is not natural to engine oils. Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains special anti-rust agents.

Excellent Wet-Clutch Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 60 Motorcycle Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps prevent slippage and glazing, while its high TBN helps improve clutch life by resisting the acids that can degrade clutch material.

Beat the HEAT with Amsoil’s NEW Dominator® Coolant Boost – (and some other news)

Beat the HEAT with Amsoil’s NEW Dominator® Coolant Boost – (and some other news)

 

Synthetic Oil HQ

Welcome to Amsoil from SyntheticOilHQ.com!

It has been extremely hot in the Midwest, and most areas of the US.  There are a few things you can do in extemely hot weather to protect your vehicles, and minimize the chances of being broke down along the road somewhere.
Extreme heat is hard on rubber components, so pay special attention to;

  • Check your belts that power your AC, engine fan, power steering and other components. You don’t want one of these breaking when it’s 105 degrees out there.
  • Check your radiator hoses; the extreme heat can accelerate aging.
  • Check your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated. Low tire pressures increase the tire temperature, and in extreme heat can contribute to blowouts and lower fuel mileage.

Extreme heat requires proper coolant;

Amsoil News;
New product that fits in with this topic;

  • Amsoil Coolant Boost  – Effective Heat Transfer, Enhanced Corrosion Protection. Dominator Coolant Boost is formulated with proprietary tiered surfactant technology, providing quick and effective heat transfer inside radiator and cylinder heads, which results in reduced operating temperatures, more efficient operation, increased horsepower and significantly reduced engine warm-up times in cold weather. Coolant Boost also contains a robust mixture of corrosion inhibitors that protect the radiator, heater core, water pump, cylinder heads, engine block and intake manifold from the damaging effects of corrosion.  In dyno tests, this simple additive lowered operating temeratures almost 20 degrees.
  • $11.10 / bottle retail, and only $8.35 if you are a Preferred Customer

Trey Canard to Represent USA at Motocross of Nations

Trey Canard to Represent USA at Motocross of Nations

GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda rider Trey Canard was named to AMA Team USA for the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short will join him in representing the USA at the September 25-26 race at Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, Colo.

Motocross of Nations (MXoN) is one of the highest profile motorsports events in the world and has run consecutively for more than 60 years. MXoN features teams competing by nationality to earn combined scores, which determine the overall winning team. Team USA has the strongest track record of any country at Motocross of Nations, with 20 wins to their credit.
“It’s such a huge honor to be selected for Motocross of Nations” said Canard, “I’m so thankful to be able to represent the USA with Ryan and Andrew – they’ve done some great racing this year and I’m looking forward to working with them and giving it my all!”
Canard will race the MX2 class for Team USA aboard his AMSOIL sponsored Honda CRF250R, while Dungey will race the MX1 class, and Short the MX3 open class.
Canard will go for his fifth overall win a row at the next round of the AMA Outdoor Nationals in Southwick, Mass. on August 28.
Until then, we’ll see you at the races.
