Another article not to miss is the Tech Talk on page 7 which explains why the engine break‑in process is so critical for long‑term performance and reliability. When an engine is new or rebuilt, the goal is to properly seat the piston rings against the cylinder walls. That requires a careful balance, enough controlled wear to smooth out microscopic peaks in the cylinder, but not so much that it causes damage or glazing. The article explains that many modern oils contain friction modifiers that are excellent for fully broken‑in engines, but can interfere with proper ring seating during break‑in. AMSOIL Break‑In Oil is formulated without friction modifiers and boosted with zinc and phosphorus to protect critical components while allowing the controlled wear needed for optimal ring seating. Once the rings are fully seated (typically after the first few hundred miles) it’s time to drain the break‑in oil and switch to a high‑performance AMSOIL synthetic oil for long‑term protection.

Finally, the article on pages 10–11 takes a behind‑the‑scenes look at AMSOIL’s protection under extreme conditions in Formula Drift competition. During the final race of the 2025 season, a failed water pump caused a race engine to overheat severely, pushing coolant temperatures to dangerous levels and resulting in engine damage. Despite the extreme heat, AMSOIL DOMINATOR 15W‑50 Racing Oil protected critical components. After teardown, major parts like the crankshaft, bearings, valvetrain, and cams were still reusable. Oil analysis throughout the season showed stable viscosity, low oxidation, minimal fuel dilution, and controlled wear metals, reinforcing the team’s confidence that AMSOIL products deliver protection even when conditions are at their worst. Many countries that you are all located in a huge into drift, so this article may be especially interesting.
