The importance of Proper Lubrication to automotive seal Life
Although most motorists don’t think about them unless they notice a fluid leak, vehicles contain several different seals responsible for retaining lubricants within the system and keeping contaminants out. Seals are also responsible for confining pressure and keeping lubricants separated. Familiar locations include the crankshaft, transmission output shaft and axles. Made primarily of elastomers (synthetic rubber), modern seal materials offer increased performance and life. But age, high mileage and storage can lead to drying and hardening, causing shrinking, cracking or tearing. In addition to fluid leaks, damaged seals can allow dirt and other contaminants to enter the system, negatively affecting performance.
In the 1930s, manufacturers pioneered the custom manufacturing of elastomers. Common seal materials today include nitrile (buna-n [nBr]), neoprene, silicone, ethylene acrylic, polyacrylate and fluoroelastomer. Each material offers different strengths and weaknesses throughout different temperature ranges.
Nitrile seals, better known as buna-n (nBr), are common in automotive applications due to their low cost and good resistance to oil, water, grease and other substances. However, nBr offers poor resistance to ozone and weather aging. ethylene acrylic and polyacrylate are often used in transmission and power- steering units.
Wherever seals are installed and whatever they are made of, proper lubrication is required to maximize life and performance. Seal compatibility is achieved by selecting the proper base oils and additives that cause seals to swell at a slow, controlled rate over their usable lives. This allows the seal material to take the place of worn material to prevent premature leakage. Seal conditioners help keep seal materials supple to prevent them from becoming brittle and causing leaks. For example, valve seals prevent oil from entering the cylinder during the intake stroke. A dry, brittle seal may allow oil to leak past the seal and burn during combustion, causing the engine to use oil.
Years ago, many erroneously believed synthetic oils were too slippery and leaked past

Where do you buy your AMSOIL?
Where do you buy your AMSOIL?
Today's blog was inspired by a topic that I seam to be asked quite often when speaking to people about AMSOIL.
When I am out attending car shows, race events. etc, I usually have a few people come to me and say, oh, I been using AMSOIL for some time now. Or, the total opposite, I was using AMSOIL but I cannot find it in my local area no more. They would ask, why is it that AMSOIL is not available everywhere?
The answer to this is simple, you will never find AMSOIL in a big box store such as Walmart, Pep-boys or a Autozone type corporate store. Why is this, again the answer is quite simple, AMSOIL is distributed by independent dealers, people like you!
How does that work, what is an Independent AMSOIL Dealer? Well, since 1972 AMSOIL CEO & Founder Mr. Al Amatuzio decided that direct selling would be the perfect fit for AMSOIL. Mr Amatuzio wanted to be sure that people understood the basic concepts, features and benefits that his synthetic oil would provide for their equipment. After building his team of Independent dealers throughout the country he decided that it would be best not to jump into business with the big box stores.
By doing this Mr. Amatuzio would be protecting his dealer network, their accounts and their accounts customers from the corporate politics in today's market place. Dealers could now continue to educate the small mom & pop stores and repair shops with the same product knowledge that his independent AMSOIL dealers had.... Just imagine going to the women in isle 5 at your local Walmart and asking her how long will this oil last? Maybe try the asking the kid at Autozone what's the difference between the conventional oil and the synthetic oil. His answer would probably be, well the price is a bit more but I here it works kinda good!
With that being said, AMSOIL dealers are always looking to register new accounts to stock AMSOIL Synthetics Lubricants in their stores. Rest assure that you will always get the best lubricants for your equipment from AMSOIL and that all your questions will be answered either by the retailer themselves or a quick phone call to their Independent AMSOIL Dealer.

Who is your AMSOIL dealer?
So you are looking for AMSOIL products? The first problem that comes up is where do you find AMSOIL products? Most people looking for AMSOIL turn to the internet. They search for AMSOIL on Google or even go directly to the amsoil.com website. From there you can enter the AMSOIL online store and buy products directly from AMSOIL..
STOP! ...Read Below....
What happens when you buy your AMSOIL products directly from AMSOIL is that you are assigned an AMSOIL Dealer. In most cases this won’t ever be a problem, but in some cases it’s nice to know who your AMSOIL Dealer is (They are making a commission from your sale after all). Maybe you will have a question or could have some product damage in shipment and would need to return or get a replacement. In these cases, your AMSOIL dealer can help you..
Since all AMSOIL products are sold through independent dealers and when you go to amsoil.com you are assigned a dealer (that you most like likely will not know or
never meet). Therefore you should look for an AMSOIL dealers website that you would like to do business with. This could be someone you already know or are
affiliated with. For instance, you frequent a certain message board or social media site and an AMSOIL dealer sponsors that board and/or has already established a realationship with you, then it would only make sense to give that business to that dealer so they can continue to help by spending their advertising dollars with said message board/media..
Another way to find an AMSOIL dealer is to look local. Sometimes you can find a dealer in your own town. This is sometimes helpful if they stock the products you need. I’ve had customers call me that needed one or 2 quarts of something. This would help you with the shipping costs as they normally order several cases at a time.
However, even locally you should be sure that your dealer is serious about his buisness and takes the time to explain products to you in depth. Knowledge is power, incorrect knowledge is dangerous..
Lastly you could find a serious AMSOIL dealer like myself and contact them regarding an order. A serious AMSOIL dealer has been to company training events, they are available and knowledgeable about the products and how to best serve you the customer. Finding a serious dealer could be a difficult process sometimes, as most AMSOIL dealers are “part-time”. They work at the business in their off time..
When searching for a dealer to do business with, you can take a look at their website to find out if they are serious. Look for the “about” page as well as a“contact
me” page. One thing to stay away from is a dealer website that doesn’t have their personal name or location. AMSOIL dealers are required to have on their
website their name and “independent dealer” as well as where they are located.
If you are reading this you have come across the website of Chuck Gutleber. As a serious AMSOIL dealer I attend training events, consistently learn about lubrication fundamentals and how to help my customers get the most out of AMSOIL. As a registered dealer I am authorized to sell AMSOIL products in the United States and Canada as well as Puerto Rico. AMSOIL products sold outside of those areas are handled by AMSOIL Inc international sales department..
As you can see finding an AMSOIL dealer to work with is easy. If you are reading this, you found him. I would love to become your servicing AMSOIL dealer. As your servicing AMSOIL dealer I promise to provide the highest level of customer service, the best pricing and delivery and a most enjoyable AMSOIL experience..
