Cost Saving Diesel Oil
Economic difficulties and high fuel costs have forced a significant number of trucking companies out of business over the past few years, while many others fight for survival by finding any and every way possible to minimize costs. More efficient operation can be achieved in a number of ways, including engine, truck and trailer design; drive line technology; tire design and fuel quality. Drivers can also play a critical role by reducing engine idle time and speed, while employing more efficient shifting patterns and driving techniques.
Although lubricants are often overlooked as a way to improve efficiency and minimize costs, use of AMSOIL 5w-40 Synthetic Premium Diesel Oil
(DEO) over conventional 15w-40 oils presents fleets with an effective way to reign in costs without sacrificing protection. In fact, industry tests demonstrate a 1 percent fuel economy improvement by switching to 5w-40 diesel oil, while the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Federal Test Procedure confirms that AMSOIL 5w-40 Synthetic Premium Diesel Oil provides up to 3 percent better fuel economy than conventional 15w-40 diesel oils (1.6 percent improvement at a mix of 55/45 city/highway driving).
