All engines, especially high-performance modified engines, benefit from oils with superior film strength and anti-wear properties. The flat tappet/camshaft lobe interface is the one area in an engine that has extreme contact load. Since this load increases significantly when non-stock, high-pressure valve springs are employed, the use of properly formulated motor oils is extremely important to reduce wear and extend flat tappet/camshaft life.

SAE20 and SAE20w are two totally separate monograde classifications. SAE20 describes the high temperature viscosity of the oil and SAE20w describes the low temperature cranking capability of the oil.

In order to allow engines to start at low temperatures while providing sufficient viscosity at high temperatures to protect engines against wear, multigrade oils were developed. An oil can be classified as a multigrade SAE 20w-20 if the can meet both the low temperature cranking viscosity of 4500 cP at -15C and the 100C high temperature kinematic viscosity requirement between 5.6 and 9.3 cSt.

If your “ALT” light comes on for example, it may mean that the alternator output voltage is lower than the battery voltage. It could also imply that the battery voltage is lower than the alternator output voltage. And, if the “ALT” light dims as you rev up the car’s engine, then your alternator might need work. If the light grows brighter, then the car’s battery could be bad.

Here are some of the benefits of using the AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil:

~ extends drain intervals

~ maximizes fuel efficiency

~ reduces wear

~ resists heat

~ reduces oil consumption and emissions

~ provides outstanding cold flow properties

Without a doubt, Amsoil is the leading manufacturer of synthetic oil, lubricants, and fluids because of their experience. There are several newer companies springing up here and there that have begun to develop their own synthetic oil because of increased demand, but Amsoil is the name to trust.

AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Performance Fuel Additive improves performance, fuel efficiency and longevity of diesel engines while reducing deposits, black smoke and emissions. It improves fuel economy by cleaning dirty injectors and restores horsepower.

In addition to the extended drain intervals, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor oils are specially designed to provide superior protection for engine components, extending the life of the engine and reducing the need for replacing engine parts. They are also thermally stable with a strong resistance to high temperature volatility (burn-off), preventing sludge deposits and keeping engines clean. Low volatility and clean operation reduce oil consumption and emissions.

Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended for your vehicle (this information can either be found inside the door frame or in the owner’s manual). For every 3 pounds tires are below recommended pressure, fuel economy goes down by about 1 percent. Tires can lose about 1 pound of pressure in a month, so be sure to check the air pressure regularly, especially before carrying heavy loads or taking long trips. Underinflated tires can also detract from handling and safety, and can shorten the life of the tires.

This means that the higher the Brix value, the more nutritious, healthier and rich in minerals the plant or produce is. Further, the nutritional value of the plants or produce is higher and healthier to those consuming them; or the beef is tastier because of the increased Brix value of the grass the cattle consumed.

Brix plant values can be increased by the use of the AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers

Most indoor herbs do best at tempertures between 65 and 75 degrees F, but are adaptable to the somewhat lower temps near the windows at night. If you want to provide them with extra humidity, place the pots on a tray with moistened gravel up to, but not over, the bases of the pots. Protect them from drafts from open doors, but give them good air circulation by allowing some space between plants. Overwatering ruins a potted herb, so let the soil surface dry out before each thorough watering ( until water exits the bottom of the pot ). If you see the beginnings of an insect infestation, a good shower in the sink or tub and a foliar spray 1/2 ounce AGGRAND 0-0-8 Kelp and Sulfate of Potash and 1 ounce of AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer mixed together in a gallon of water will give plants a boost. This also works well as a monthly soil treatment combined with 4 ounces per gallon of AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime.
