In this month’s edition of the AMSOIL Magazine, Dan Peterson, Vice President – Technical Development, explains how sludge can cause catastrophic failure to not only your vehicles engine, but the transmission as well. Dan describes how synthetic lubricants resist sludge better than conventional oils because they are naturally more resistant to oxidation. Turn to page 9 for more detailed information.

Also in this month’s edition, AMSOIL talks about how turbo diesel pickup trucks, V-10 gasoline trucks and SUVs, and high-horsepower V-8 trucks boast more towing and payload capacities than ever before. Along with these extreme towing a payload capacities comes thermal runaway, which is when vehicles place increased stress on gear lubricants causing them to  lose viscosity, and extreme pressure can break the lubricant film causing increased metal-to-metal contact and heat. AMSOIL Severe Gear Synthetic Lubricants provide superior protection from thermal runaway through superior viscosity protection.
