Important: AMSOIL EaO09, EaO10 and EaO57 Oil Filter Reminder

March 17, 2010

As previously announced, the AMSOIL EaO09, EaO10 and EaO57 oil filters are no longer recommended for Toyota, Lexus and Pontiac vehicles with Toyota-built engines. MANN filters are available for these applications, and they are recommended for 7,500-mile filter change intervals when used in conjunction with AMSOIL motor oil.

When using AMSOIL EaO09, EaO10 and EaO57 oil filters with Toyota, Lexus or Pontiac vehicles with Toyota-built engines, the oil pressure light may illuminate prior to reaching the end of the AMSOIL-recommended 25,000-mile drain interval.

Amsoil Oval Ice Racer Wins in Wausau, Wisconsin


Wednesday, February 03, 2010
Wanderscheid Wins Wausau 525
Team AMSOIL oval ice racer PJ Wanderscheid had redemption on his mind in Wausau, Wis. this past weekend.

Wanderscheid, who finished second at the AMSOIL Eagle River Snowmobile Derby in Eagle River, Wis. two weeks ago, was looking to get back on track and beat a talented field at the Wausau 525 race. The competition was brutal on the smaller track, including defending AMSOIL World Champion Matt Schultz

Wanderscheid set the tone early, winning all three of his 440 Champ heat races. He entered the final as the number one qualifier. Turn one saw Schultz with a narrow lead, but Wanderscheid answered quickly and by turn four the Sauk Centre, Minn. native had the lead. He would keep his AMSOIL/Arctic Cat out front for the entire race, but Dustin Wahl and Schultz battled it out right behind him for the final two podium spots. This was Wanderscheid's second straight win in Wausau.

"This is a great event to win because it honors the late Flip Merwin," said Wanderscheid. "The community does a nice job coming together and putting on a great race for the teams and the fans."

Congratulations also goes out to Matt Ritchie who took his AMSOIL #355 to a pair of semi-pro wins in Wausau.

Wanderscheid will compete in his hometown of Sauk Center on February 5-7.

2010 AMSOIL Street Rodder Road Tour First Glance

2010 AMSOIL Street Rodder Road Tour First Glance
AMSOIL has once again signed on as title sponsor for the 2010 Street Rodder Road Tour presented by Street Rodder Magazine. It's an event that takes street rod enthusiasts around the country to various destinations in a series of tour legs. Each year a custom-built street rod leads the way. This year a ’27 Roadster Pickup built by Zane Cullen and crew at Cotati Speed Shop will have the honors, with Jerry Dixie leading the pack of impressive street rods in the Roadster. Each year the AMSOIL Street Rodder Road Tour inevitably captures the attention of every city it travels through, and has seen tremendous growth and success in the years since it began.

Over the Christmas holidays AMSOIL received an invitation to visit the Santa Rosa facility where the '27 Roadster is being assembled. Though everything is under wraps till you see it first in Street Rodder magazine, Cullen and crew do awesome work, as these other photos here attest.

Along the way exclusive visits to street rod shops, manufacturing facilities and some amazing car collections fill in the miles on the road. And once more, the Road Tourians will visit the AMSOIL Center, this time in mid-August on their way to Bonneville.

If you or someone you know is a fellow street rod enthusiast, it’s definitely worth your while to try to make it on one of these tours. It’s the trip of a lifetime that won’t soon be forgotten…or as most who participate say, "a trip that won’t ever be forgotten."

Team AMSOIL Offshore Wins SBI National Championship
Trudy and I attended the pre-race ceremonies at the Amsoil Direct Jobber Convention held in Clearwater, Florida. The final event of the Super Boat International Series was held at Clearwater Beach, Fla. and drew record crowds and one of the biggest spectator fleets of the year. More than 2,000 boats lined the course while tens of thousands of spectators watched from the beaches and Pier 60.
Before the racing began, Team Amsoil participated in the AMSOIL Direct Jobber convention held at the Sheraton on Sand Key. The AMSOIL Offshore race boat was on display on the beach for the Friday activities available for everyone to view. Team AMSOIL driver Paul Whittier and throttleman Bob Teague, along with the crew, attended the AMSOIL banquet on Saturday night at the Sheraton. Paul Whittier, Bob Teague and Team AMSOIL power boat champion Terry Rinker were recognized for their continued success and championship seasons.Team AMSOIL raced in Sunday's main event which was the second race of the day. During the other races on Sunday, Teague worked as a commentator on the radio show which was broadcast on the area’s AM radio stations and streamed live on the Internet.Team AMSOIL lined up in for the start of second race along with a number of boats including the Vee Extreme class. The Team AMSOIL #77 Skater performed flawlessly during the race, passing all of the boats in the starting group including many with significantly more horsepower. Team AMSOIL went the distance to receive the checkered flag in spite of having a battery post break four laps from the end of the race, which rendered the trim systems inoperative. Bob Teague and Paul Whittier made the necessary adjustments and finished the race at full speed.
During the awards ceremony, Amsoil President and C.E.O. Al Amatuzio, along with Executive Vice Presidents Alan Amatuzio and Dean Alexaner, accompanied the Team to the podium to receive the trophy and flags. Teague and Whittier presented the checkered flags won at the event to the three men.The win at Clearwater Beach clinched the Super Boat International National Championship for Team AMSOIL Offshore Racing. Team AMSOIL has already won the 2009 High Points Championships in the Offshore Super Series, Triple Crown, and OPA series.Up next for Teague and Whittier is the SBI/APBA World Championships in Key West, Fla. on November 8-15.
We wish you the best of success in the upcoming World Championships in Key West, Fla.
