The Dodge Ram 1500 Diesel Truck out beats some other diesel trucks for some Dodge owners. So they decided to give Dodge a chance. And boy were they pleased with the entire vehicle. Very quiet and ride is good considering it’s a one ton, great power (6.7 Cummins), smooth trans., 3.73 and 6-speed seems to be a great combination. Lots of low end grunt and a nice flat torque curve..650@1500 to 2800. Build quality is very good. If you live on a dirt (washboard) road it would be smooth sailing and no rattles. Exterior paint and finish are excellent. Dollar value it can best be compaired to Chevy/GM and Ford.
Now to make sure to keep that cummins engine in tip top shape you need the right oil and that oil is AMSOIL.
Read on to find out why AMSOIL is the best Synthetic oil on the Market since 1972.
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. We often 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 than AMSOIL 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.
How Does AMSOIL measure to Mobile 1?
Read on to see how AMSOIL surpasses it!!
AMSOIL INC. set out to examine the specifics of the overly broad “Nothing Outperforms…” Mobil claim. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL) and Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil were analyzed in five key bench tests measuring motor oil performance: NOACK volatility, flash/fire point, pour point, four ball wear and total base number (TBN). As shown in the charts below, AMSOIL outperformed Mobil 1 in all five areas.

NOACK Volatility
The NOACK Volatility Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high-temperature service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy, increased oil consumption and excessive wear and emissions. A maximum of 15 percent evaporation loss is allowable to meet the API SL and ILSAC GF-3 specifications. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil lost an extremely low 4.9 percent of its original weight during high-temperature service, maintaining its superior protective and performance qualities,while Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil lost 9.17 percent of its original weight.



AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Will:
- Save money
- Improve performance
- Reduce friction
- Increase fuel mileage up to 15 - 30%
- Increase equipment life 2 to 3 times
- Increase productivity with fewer repairs
- Reduce engine temperature for greater reliability
- Extend oil change intervals to 25,000 miles and beyond. With a by-pass oil filtration system some people have gone 200,000 thousand miles or more without an oil change.
When you use extremely high quality additives that don’t break down, 7 different synthetic base stocks that don’t cause gum, sludge, and other contaminates to form AND you keep the oil “squeeky clean” at all times (backed by oil analysis) you really don’t need to change the oil!
- Reduce oil consumption as much as 42% or more
- Reduce necessity of frequent oil disposal
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants will save you money and give you the peace of mind that comes from using the best. Today’s engines produce more power from a smaller radiator and a smaller volume of oil to cool and lubricate them. They need more protection from heat than conventional oils give them. Conventional oils keep engines from failing most of the time, but there’s a big difference between marginal failure prevention and the total wear protection that AMSOIL delivers!

Air intake systems serve several important functions. Primarily, they are used to increase the amount of oxygen available to the engine and reduce air turbulence increasing power. Because cool air has greater
density than hot air, aftermarket intakes improve combustion of fuel by capturing cooler air from outside the engine compartment. In addition, an aftermarket air intake system increases the diameter of the intake as compared to the original equipment, increasing air flow into the engine and making more oxygen available during the combustion process.
By designing a more direct route for the air entering the engine, as well as a smoother interior surface for the intake, air resistance is reduced and air flow is increased. To protect the engine from damaging dirt, cold air intakes are also equipped with filters. Air intake systems can improve gas mileage and increase performance, and they also add a sleek, custom look to a vehicle.
