The Tri-Gard Program

From the company that pioneered long drain synthetic motor oils comes another significant breakthrough . . . an oil, filtration, and oil monitoring system that can virtually eliminate the need for changing oil in personal vehicles with mechanically sound engines!⁽¹⁾

How does it work? Simple! You start with the best long life gasoline or diesel motor oil in the industry, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil⁽²⁾ (see detail 1 below), and you install two revolutionary filters, the AMSOIL Ea Air Filter and the AMSOIL Spin-On EaBP By-Pass Oil Filter (see detail 2 below), together designed to keep the oil free of dirt and other harmful contaminants. Then, as a part of your regular engine maintenance, you monitor the condition of your motor oil through simple, periodic oil analysis (see detail 3 below). Nothing could be easier!

⁽¹⁾Although heavy-duty, industrial, commercial, and fleet applications are not qualified under this program, their drain intervals may be significantly extended with AMSOIL Lubricants, Filters and used oil analysis.
⁽²⁾Use any AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil. Do not use semi-synthetic or petroleum oils.

1.The Best Motor Oil
The key to extending drain intervals is the oil you use. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Motor Oil was the first 25,000-mile motor oil on the market. Today AMSOIL manufactures a number of high quality long life synthetic motor oils.

Because AMSOIL Motor Oils are synthetic lubricants, they withstand temperature extremes within an engine without "breaking down" like conventional petroleum oils. They provide excellent protection at high tempertures and easier starting at sub-zero temperatures. Kept clean, they will last indefinitely to cool, clean, and reduce friction and wear for the best possible fuel economy and the longest possible engine life.

2.The Best Air & Oil Filters
Dirt is your engine's worst enemy. It's the single major cause of engine wear. AMSOIL TRIGARD utilizes two extremely effective filters to (1) keep airborne dirt from entering any engine through the carburetor, and (2) continuously filter dirt and combustion by-products from the engine oil.

First, install an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter. AMSOIL Air Filters are manufactured with a major breakhrough revolutionary nanofiber technology that traps and holds 2.5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filter media along, and 50 times more dust than wet gauze filter media . . . and does it while allowing unrestricted air flow to the engine!

Then install the AMSOIL Spin-On EaBP By-Pass Oil Filter. It is much more effective than conventional oil filters. Not only does it filter particles down to less than 1 micron, it also removes water from the oil!

This remarkably effective oil filter is the heart of the TRIGARD System. Maintained per AMSOIL recommendations, it keeps AMSOIL Motor Oil so clean that oil analysis can be peformed at 25,000 miles, 50,000 miles, 100,000 miles and more and remain clean, free of harmful contaminants and suitable for continued use!

For the ultimate in oil filtration, use the AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil Filtration System. The Dual Remote System converts an engine's full-flow oil filter system into a full-flow/by-pass oil filter system by attaching the AMSOIL Ea Full-Flow Oil Filter and AMSOIL Spin-On EaBP By-Pass Oil Filter onto a single remote mount. The Dual Remote System provides unsurpassed filtration efficiency, increased oil capacity and convenient oil filter accessibility.

3.The Best Engine Monitoring
Regardless of the kind of oil or filters used, mechanical problems in an engine are not always noticed until it's too late. Engine monitoring can save you the cost of major engine repairs or a new engine. by analyzing used engine oil, a qualified lab can detect mechanical problems your engine may have. to insure that your engine is performing properly, the TRIGARD Plan includes an oil analysis at 1,000 miles and 25,000 miles.^*

Continued oil analysis at one-year or 25,000-mile intervals^* (whichever comes first) will monitor the condition of your motor oil. Draining a sampel of used engine oil from your engine is a simple procedure using oil sample bottles included with the TRIGARD Plan. This procedure assures many thousands of miles of trouble-free driving

^*12,500 miles on diesel or turbocharged vehicles.

AMSOIL Trigard Delivers These Important Benefits . . .
Extended Oil Life -- AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are lubricants with extended drain interval capabilities. When used in the TRIGARD System, the usable life of these oils are extended indefinitely because the oil is kept clean and free of harmful deposits, and the additives in the oil last substantially longer.

Less Engine Wear -- Dirt is the major cause of engine wear. Even with normal filtration, AMSOIL Motor Oil reduces wear; but by completely filtering out abrasive particles from the oil, it virtually eliminates wear. Keeping AMSOIL clean and free of harmful deposits will dramatically extend engine life.

Better Fuel Economy -- The TRIGARD System improves fuel economy in a number of ways. By virtue of reduced friction, AMSOIL Motor Oil improves fuel economy. Keeping it clean insures that it will continue to deliver the best possible fuel economy in your vehicle. Also, an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter will help your engine run more efficiently by allowing unrestricted air flow for consistent and proper fuel-air mixture. TRIGARD helps to achieve the maximum fuel economy from your vehicles, and significant savings for you1

Reduces Oil Consumption -- Because of its low volatility, AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil naturally reduces oil consumption. But keeping it clean is important, because dirty oil promotes excessive oil consumption. Dirty oil also increases the rate of wear on bearings, cylinders, pistons and rings, further contributing to oil consumption.

Reduced Fuel Dilution -- Because dirty oil won't allow piston rings to seal properly, residual fuel can drain back into the crankcase, causing excessive fuel dilution of the oil. Fuel dilution can be reduced up to 50% by maintaining clean oil.

Reduced Rust and Corrosion -- All engines are susceptible to water formed by condensation. Water combines with combustion by-products to form acids which attack metal surfaces and cause excessive wear. AMSOIL Motor Oil is formulated with extra rust inhibitors to help combat this problem, and the AMSOIL Spin-On By-Pass Filter's unique filter element actually filters out and holds over one pint of water so that acid formation is minimized, if not eliminated altogether.
