My Doubts And Fears…Melted Away! After Amsoil came out with the 25,000 mile oil filter...I switched to changing my oil and filter A 900,000 Mile Journey! Now the fun part begins...instead of changing my oil every 5000 miles or once every two weeks... I can now go 3 months without changing my oil or 35,000 miles! I got to thinking…I wonder how many miles I’ll get out of this engine now that I have added Amsoil Synthetic Oil Molecules…Are Like Steel Ball Bearings Do Your Engine And Transmission A Favor The Secret To My Success…And Yours! I drove my 99 Chevy Van to the "one million mile" mark in May 2008...with the original transmission! Copyright...2009...by John Schlimmer
Stats: G-3500 Express Van (1 ton) 5.7 liter / Chevy 350 gasoline engine
The original engine made it to 930,599 miles..
I change the engine oil and filter every 25,000 miles.
I change the transmission oil and filter every 150,000 miles.
I add no additives to the engine or transmission oil.
Million Mile Chevy
While traveling Interstate 71 northeast out of Louisville in the spring of 2000…I stopped to take a break.
I had about 60,000 miles on my van at the time and had been asking around for several weeks
about motor oils. I was changing mine twice a month (every 5000 miles)…and was getting tired of
changing it so often.
I parked beside a driver with a Chevy van just like mine. We both got out of our vans about the same
time and so I struck a conversation up with him.
I asked how his van was running and what kind of gas mileage he was getting.
And then I asked what kind of oil he was using.
Amsoil Synthetic Oil ... Made In The USA
He said, “Amsoil”. To which I replied…”Amsoil”, I never heard of it!” Why Amsoil…”I asked?”
He replied, “It’s a synthetic oil and I change it every 25,000 miles.”
I said…”you got to be joking”!!!
With a smile on his face…the driver reached under the dash of his Chevy van… and pulled the hood
release. I watched the driver very intensely as he pulls the dipstick out of the engine. I noticed the oil
level on the dipstick was at the full level…and I wanted to get my fingers on that oil to see how it felt.
Liquid Gold Between My Fingers
To be honest with you…it felt just like any other oil…as I rubbed it between my fingers.
What I didn’t realize at the time…I had liquid gold between my fingers!
I asked him…how many miles do you have on this oil…he said about 20,000 miles.
I thanked him for his kindness and telling me about Amsoil…and headed north down
interstate 71 towards Cincinnati.
I was extremely skeptical…the very thing I was looking for…
extended oil change… I’d found it… and then couldn’t believe
what I’d seen or heard!
Many thoughts were racing through my mind like:
Once I seen the research and testing on the Amsoil website…my doubts and fears melted away.
I ordered the synthetic oil for the engine…transmission…rear differential…and the grease for the
front end…drive shaft and wheel bearings.
I was so excited and eager to get the product in…I was like a little kid with a new toy!
You’ll get excited too…whenever you go to the Amsoil website…and check it out for yourself.
My Local Chevrolet Dealer…
Agreed To Install My Amsoil Products
In less than a week…the Amsoil products arrived at my doorstep…the date was May 11, 2000.
I drained the petroleum oil out of my 350 Chevy engine for the last time…and poured in 5 ½ quarts
of Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30 synthetic oil and installed the Amsoil oil filter.

Click Here for Information on Amsoils High Tech Nano EaO Oil Filter:
I put a tube of the Amsoil Multi-Purpose Grease into my grease gun…and greased the front
steering/suspension and the drive shaft. ( Greased every 12,500 miles). The mileage on my van
that day was 68,250 miles.
Click Here for information on Amsoil Multi-Purpose snythetic grease:
I immediately called my local Chevrolet Dealer…Garrett Chevrolet in Greenville, OH… Owned
by Ron Garrett…talked with their service manager…Tony…and scheduled my van for an appointment
to drain the transmission and differential oil and install Amsoil.
On May 15, 2000…the Amsoil synthetic oil was added to the transmission and differential.
The mileage on my van that day was 68,745 miles.

Click here for more information on the Amsoil 75W-90 synthetic Gear Oil for the differential:
*NOTE* Amsoil 0W-30 oil...is a 35,000 mile oil. For the first 700,000 miles...I changed the
Amsoil oil filter every 11,700 miles (at the time the oil filters were good for 12,500 miles) and I
changed my oil every 35,000 miles.
every 25,000 miles. My van had around 700,000 miles on it at the time. Due to the higher
mileage and many hours of idle time...I felt more comfortable with the 25,000 mile oil change.
Amsoil synthetic oil to it…would it be possible to go 500,000 miles?
At the time…that amount of miles seemed far-fetched.
Little did I realize…I was about to go on a remarkable 1,000,000 mile journey…
with one vehicle… that just keeps on going and going and going!
Once A Year Oil Change For My Wife's Car
Oh yes…I put Amsoil all through my wife’s car too…now I only change the motor oil once a
year or every 25,000 miles...and the transmission oil every 100,000 miles.
Amsoils synthetic oil knows how to take the heat. The molecules in Amsoil
synthetic oil are like steel ball bearings. The molecules do not break down.
The molecules in petroleum oil are like egg shells...they break down very
easily and lose their lubrication ability.
Amsoil synthetic oil spreads a film of lubrication throughout your engine and transmission...
preventing costly repairs and breakdowns…saving you time and money.
Change Your Oil Six Times A Year For $162…Or Just Once A Year For $98.50!
If you drive 18,000 miles a year...and change your oil every 3,000 miles...
that's 6 oil changes @ $27 each = $162.
Amsoils premium synthetic oil 0W-30…5 quarts @ $10.50 qt = $52.50…
Plus 1 Amsoil EAO oil filter @ $17.00 plus $15 to change oil…
Plus $14...Tax & Shipping. Total: $98.50…retail price.
The 0W-30 will give you better gas mileage (couple miles per gallon more)
and increased horsepower!
Are you still changing your oil every 3-5 thousand miles? After you finish reading my story
and researching the Amsoil website…any doubts your have…will evaporate.
I have proven that changing your engine oil and filter every 25,000 miles and your transmission oil and
filter every 150,000 miles (100,000 miles / local driving)… is a remarkable breakthrough…not only
for those of us who make a living on the highway…but for those of you that get up and drive several
miles each day to and from your work place.
What You Can Expect…When You Change to Amsoil
You may be thinking…how can you put that many miles on one vehicle? I have a delivery service
and drive a 110,000 to 120,000 miles each year!
By having a good maintenance plan in place and using Amsoil products throughout your entire vehicle…
and praying God’s hedge of protection around you and your vehicle each time you get into the
driver’s seat...will definetly increase your odds of driving "One Million Miles!
How many people do you know …
that have driven over 900,000 miles…
without overhauling the engine or transmission?
At 930,599 Miles...A Valve Stuck On My Engine...I Replaced It In October of 2007.
That is the most incredible part about this story. Gasoline engines are not supposed to last that long…right?
What’s even more amazing…the transmission is still performing its job at over 1,000,000 miles!
Amsoil…A “Fountain Of Youth” To Your Engine…And Transmission
· You Can Slam The Door on Costly Engine Repairs!
The molecular structure of Amsoil synthetic oil does not break down!
Not only do you get excellent lubrication throughout your entire engine…
it keeps the engine squeaky-clean…eliminating sledge build up…
that can cause engine failure.
· You Can Slam The Door on Costly Transmission Repairs!
Transmissions normally make it to 100,000 to 150,000 miles…a few may get to 200,000 miles.
In my type of business( Over the road)…I have seen a few drivers make it to 400,000 miles
before breaking down.
With hundreds of parts inside a transmission…each performing their job to move your vehicle forward…
lubrication is critical. If just one part fails… it's off to the repair shop for a cool $2500 - $3500 repair bill.
A friend was telling me about his SUV…just two years old…
the transmission broke down at 53,000 miles …cost $4500.
A fella in Wisconson drove his 1991 Chevy pickup to the "one million mile" mark in February 2008.
He went through five transmissions getting there! Estimated Cost: $12,500 and that's conservative.
It has never been overhauled. I change the transmission fluid everly 150,000 miles...and add
15 quarts of the Amsoil transmission oil.
Putting Amsoil throughout your vehicle...will make it almost immortal!

Ball Joints Replaced at 792,000 Miles…
Thanks To Amsoil Synthetic Grease!
I've hit so many craters in the road…at around 600,000 miles…I had to replace my original rims.
They could no longer be balanced because they were out-of-round (bent)!
The reason I mentioned my rims being bent...is because that's an indication of the beating the front
suspension takes day after day...mile after mile.
What you're about to read in the next paragraph is absolutely amazing. It testifies to the lubricative
strength of the Amsoil synthetic products.
At 792,000...I finally had to replace the ball joints. (The left front ball joint that I’d replaced at 278,795
miles...due to a tear in the protective rubber...did not need replaced…changed it anyway). The tie rods
and steering arms are all still original at 1,000,000 miles! Thanks to Amsoil synthetic grease.
Click here for information on Amsoil synthetic Multi-Purpose grease:
I use the Amsoil Multi-purpose synthetic grease (NLGI#2) to give me the maximum protection
against wear and corrosion on all:
~ The front suspension
~ The drive shaft
~ The wheel bearings
GM Makes A Tough...Durable Vehicle...That Will Take You Where You Need To Go!
I've hauled many loads long distances...that weighed over 3500 pounds. I set the cruise control at 70 MPH...
and let the 350 Chevy engine do its work. Going through the mountains...not a problem...the transmission
has never let me down...even with all that weight...it just keeps on doing its job.
You Can Bet On Amsoil…It Increases Your Odds!
I can’t guarantee you’ll drive a million miles by switching to Amsoil products…
however…if you do put Amsoil products throughout your vehicle… the odds will be in your favor!

We will not be remembered by our words… but by our kind deeds.
*Note* Thanks to Ron Garrett Chevrolet and the entire service department...
for their excellent care and service of my 99 Chevy Van.
Also thanks to the Greenville Firestone store for providing my 99 Chevy Van
with exceptional service...and "long lasting" Bridgestone Tires.
PS...Need some extra spending money or serious income...
Become a Dealer...and share this remarkable product with
anyone that has a vehicle.
Disclaimer: I make no claim or guarantee that you can drive your vehicle 900,000 miles
without any engine or transmission failures. Each vehicles drive train is manufactured
differently...some will last longer than others. If your vehicle is used...there may already
be considerable internal wear to the engine and transmission due to improper maintenance
and inferior oils. Transmissions that have over 100,000 miles on them...and the oil has
never been changed...have a history of failure when adding new transmission oil!
Vehicles under 50,000 miles are excellent candidates for adding synthetic transmission oil.
On the other hand...if your vehicle has 150,000 miles on it...and you have changed the
transmission oil every 50,000 miles...your vehicle is a good candidate for synthetic
transmission oil. We have found (there's a few exceptions...if your engine is using oil) that
you can add synthetic oil to your engine at almost any mileage. However...if your engine
has over 50,000 miles on it...I strongly suggest using an engine flush before adding
synthetic oil to your engine.
