AMS-Oiler™
high-tech oil pre-charger
|
The needs of automotive and industrial equipment have continued to
place increasing demands on the lubrication industry. Over the years,
AMSOIL research and development has responded to changes in the industry
by developing products that keep AMSOIL on the cutting edge. The new
AMS-Oiler™ is the most recent example in a long line of top-quality
innovations from AMSOIL.
Independent studies have concluded that engine wear during start-up is
a major concern. Even though engine components remain dry for only a short
period of time at ignition, when this circumstance is multiplied by the
400 to 600 dry starts a year by the average motorist, the potential for
harmful metal-on-metal contact and significant wear is great.
The AMS-Oiler™ is an oil pre-charger that puts an end to dry-engine
starting. Typically, an engine that sits idle for even a short period of
time will operate relatively dry upon starting before oil is able to fully
lubricate the system. In fact, the automotive industry estimates that up
to 50 percent of engine bearing wear occurs during the starting process.
Indeed, the superiority of AMSOIL motor oils minimizes start-up wear by
clinging to the metal surfaces, but even more can be done to concentrate
the oil on the critical wear areas in an engine. With the AMS-Oiler in
place, 160 cubic centimeters of oil is injected directly on the engine
bearings and other wear sensitive surfaces upon turning of the key,
giving instant protection to vital engine components.

"stand-alone" configuration

The AMS-Oiler™ outperforms gas and air charge systems. When the
ignition key is turned to the on position, an audible alarm sounds while a
12-volt DC solenoid initiates the AMS-Oiler's operation. When the oil
delivery process is complete, the alarm ceases and the operator can start
the engine. The engine can be started at any time without damage to the
AMS-Oiler™, however, the AMS-Oiler™ is recharged by the pressure
generated by the engine's oil pump. Complete recharge is accomplished
within 40 seconds. The absence of a gas or air charge eliminates the
possibility of cross-contamination of dirty gas or air with the engine
oil, keeping the oil pure and performing optimally. The design of the
AMS-Oiler™ reservoir also protects the unit from ambient temperature
fluctuations.
Specially crafted by AMSOIL technicians, the AMS-Oiler™ is the
culmination of extensive research and development. “Our products are
exceptional when it comes to reducing wear during operation,” said
Technical Director Dave Anderson. “The weakest link in the chain,
however, was still during startup. With the AMS-Oiler™, we’re closing
that last gap.”
With an extremely rugged chrome plated hi-grade carbon steel reservoir
and anodized aluminum base, the AMS-Oiler™ is crafted to withstand
severe service and to perform reliably in any personal, commercial or
industrial application.
Unlike other pre-charger systems, the AMS-Oiler™ has no bulky moving
parts which need maintenance and does not rely on pressurized gas to
function. The AMS-Oiler™ is a self contained, streamlined unit that has
a mechanical life cycle exceeding one million engine starts, with no
maintenance required. The AMS-Oiler™ is self-lubricating with an
integrated overpressure protection device that protects units from
retaining pressures in excess of 90 p.s.i.

AMK-01
"bolt on" configuration

In order to meet
consumers’ needs, AMSOIL has designed two AMS-Oiler™ models to cover
all applications. The first model, AMK-01, is crafted to attach directly
to the AMSOIL Dual-Remote By-Pass Filtration Systems BMK13, 15 through 18.
The second model, AMK-02, is designed as a stand-alone system. AMK-01 and
AMK-02 are designed for pre-oiling engines up to 500 CID (cubic inch
displacement)(8.2L). The AMS-Oiler™ retro-fit applicability to the
AMSOIL By-Pass filtration systems provides a convenient perch for quick
installation. The stand-alone AMS-Oiler™ mounts easily at any angle to
accommodate virtually every engine. The AMS-Oiler™ kit comes will all of
the necessary components to complete installation.
With the new AMS-Oiler™, AMSOIL continues to make lubrication
history, with quality still the number one priority.
