Lawn and Garden Products -- Small Engine Maintenance

AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils are ideal for use in gasoline or diesel four-cycle lawn care equipment, including tractors, mowers, sweepers and tillers. AMSOIL Motor Oils provide a wide range of protection for four-cycle air- and water-cooled engines, avoiding oxidative and thermal breakdown in high teperature, high RPM conditions and maintaining their lubricating and cooling abilities. AMSOIL Motor Oils also contain special rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect engines against condensation and water even when they're not in use. Many four-cycle lawn equipment applications do not include oil filters, so oil dispersants must keep contaminants and wear particles suspended in the oil until it is drained. As pertroleum oil breaks down, these cleaning additives are quickly depleted, causing deposits and sludge to build up and resulting in premature engine wear. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 and 10W-40 Motor Oils provide outstanding protection in four-cycle lawn care equuipment applications.

AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke^tm 10W-30/SAE 30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil
AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke^tm Small Engine Oil (ASE) is a robust formulation designed for hot temperature, severe service operations of small engines where routine maintenance is often difficult or infrequent. AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke^tm Small Engine Oil resists heat and reduces oil consumption. It provides excellent protection for transmission systems an dis ideal for hydraulic or hydrostatic systems and chain cases.

AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil
AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil (FOG) offers superior film retention, providing long-term protection against corrosion and dry starts, extending engine life and reducing operating expenses. Its aerosol spray formulation offers easy and clean applications, while reaching more components and offering complete distribution of the oil.

Stop Dirt From "Sandpapering" Your Engine
Considering that lawn and garden equipment is operated in dusty, dirty environments, an inefficient air filter can be a major source of engine wear, and less-than-optimum air filters are often standard equipment on these machines. The life span of an engine can be shortened dramatically when it is fed a steady supply of dirt that "sandpapers" vital engine components.

Plus, the more dirt that gets into your oil, the more oil dispersants are used up fighting them.

Together, the team of AMSOIL synthetic oil and the AMSOIL Air Filter provides unbeatable four-cycle engine protection. Lawn and garden equipment will run cooler, smoother and longer with AMSOIL!

Two-cycle engines are the workhorses of the lawn and garden world. They power a variety of equipment, from trimmers and blowers, to lawnmowers, tillers and chainsaws. Due to their small size and high-revving operation, these little engines are also amoung the most abused, neglected and needful of superior lubrication.

Because two-cycle engines need an oil that will cool and lubricate under the most stressful operating conditions, AMSOIL developed special Saber Professional Synthetic 100:1 Pre-mix 2-Cycle Oil and AMSOIL HP Injector Synthetic 2-cycle Oil.

AMSOIL synthetic two-cycle oils provide protection and performance far beyond what lawn and garden consumers have experienced with conventional petroleum products. All AMSOIL synthetic lubricants demonstrate outstanding abilities to withstand even the worst heat. They also offer better cold-weather performance, and significantly reduce friction between moving parts for cooler operation and less wear.

Friction-reduction is especially important in preventing wear in two-cycle lawn and garden equipment. This equipment frequently operates in environments where equipment is literally engulfed in dirt and dust. The superior lubricity and film strength of AMSOIL synthetic two-cycle oils protect engine components against wear far better than petroleum lubes, and AMSOIL POD Air Filters prevent dust and dirt from getting into the engine in the first place!

Reduce Emissions -- Use AMSOIL
Some small engines that use petroleum oil can overcome you with exhaust. AMSOIL two-cycle oils solve the common problems which plague petroleum-lubricated two-cycle engines: combustion by-products.

Bar & Chain Oil AMSOIL Semi-Synthetic Bar & Chain Oil is ideal for chainsaws. Its semi-synthetic basestocks reduce drag effectively, which optimizes efficiency and extends chain life. It clings tenaciously to metal surfaces, delivering unparalleled lubrication and protection.

Because gas and oil are mixed and burned together in two-cycle engines, conventional two-cycle oils usually produce an exhaust of thick blue-white smoke. AMSOIL synthetic two-cycle oils are formulated with ashless chemistries, which, in addition to being mixed leaner in the gas, make these oils clean-burning. This reduces plug-fouling, exhaust smoke, smell and pollution, and improves engine performance.

The advantages of using AMSOIL add up: improved protection, performance, economy and engine cleanliness.

Greased bearings and linkages endure heavy loads on mowers and other yard equipment. In addition, wheel bearings, U-Joints and suspension points are extremely susceptible to the harmful effects of dirt, water and mud.

AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Greases are especially suited for all types of lawn and garden applications. The tough synthetic formulations provide outstanding protection against friction, heat and wear, even in high stress applications. AMSOIL synthetic greases offer superior low temperature pumpability, resistance to water washout and thermal and oxidative stability.

Special applications from our grease family include the AMSOIL Water Resistant Grease, ideal for mowers and bush-hogs in wet environments, as well as AMSOIL Food Grade Grease, popular with golf courses where concern with grease leakage onto greens, and the resultant damage to the turf and public relations problems, are minimized.

AMSOIL TBI hydraulic oil is a premium lubricant designed to biodegrade to its natural state when subjected to sunlight, water and microbial activity. TBI has a very low toxicity level because the oil is formulated with ashless additives that do not contain heavy metals. It is ideally suited for mowers and other hydraulicly operated equipment in home, commerical and golf course environments where leakage may pose problems to children or wild life, or leakage onto golf course greens or other grasses will cause brown-out.

AMSOIL TBI incorporates very high quality synthetic base oils that provide thermal stability, even though they are biodegradable. This oil also contians anti-wear additives that have been thoroughly tested and qualified against stringent hydraulic oil standards. TBI provides optimum protection for your hydraulics because it prevents wear of the pump and prevents rust of critical components. TBI contains anti-oxidants that increase the life of the oil and it contains foam inhibitors that quickly release air from the oil

TBI outperforms vegetable oil-type, biodegradable hydraulic oils because it is based on high quality, synthetic oil chemistry that lasts longer and withstands heat better. This ensures problem-free operation.

TBI is especially well suited for applications where environmental contamination due to leaking or blown hydraulic lines presents an environmental hazard.

"I feel it's important to use a motor oil like AMSOIL, because of its high temperature range, espcially in air-cooled engines. When ambient temperatures increase, so do the equipment operating temperature and oil temperature in air-cooled engines.

"AMSOIL products definitely offer a high degree of equipment protection, reduced manpower needs and a good dollar savings for the club.

"We have been using AMSOIL 100:1 2-Cycle Oil since 1986. In addition to the economic benefit of being less expensive to use, we have noticed that there is an increase in performance and less maintenance on our golf carts. I would recommend your products to anyone!"

"I'm a logger by trade, but I also enter about 30 lumberjack competitions a year. By using AMSOIL Saber Professional 100:1 Synthetic Two-Cycle Oil, I have an advantage over my competitors. My saw puts out more power because it is burning a leaner mixture (less oil in the gas). When I was using petroleum oil in my work saws, I would tear them down every 6 to 9 months to clean away the varnish and sludge, and then install new cranksaft bearings, pistons and rings. With AMSOIL, the main crankshaft bearings are usually in such good condition that I clean them up and use them again in the same saw. AMSOIL is the cleanest-burning mixture I have used. We used to have problems with our saws breaking down, but since we switched to AMSOIL 100:1 Two-Cycle Oil, we just don't have any at all."
