1991 Buick Gets Boost from AMSOIL!
AMSOIL Turns College Student into an Oil Enthusiast.

August 19, 2003

I bought my 1991 Buick Century 3.3L V-6 used with 80,000 miles. The engine was a
"new" rebuilt engine since the original was damaged from overheating.

From 80K to 94K miles, I used Mobil 1 10W-30 and was not satisfied even though I
thought I was using "the best." I had trouble with cold starts, and I live in Florida!
When I tried to start the car, it was common that the car would not start on the first
time. It normally took two or three more attempts to get the engine started. After the
engine would start there was loud and prolonged clapping noises coming from the
engine at an idle. Putting it in drive or driving long distances usually made that racket
go away. The fuel economy was acceptable for the engine I had.

At 94,000 miles, I switched to AMSOIL 10W-30. I immediately noticed a dramatic
reduction in starting times. Since switching to AMSOIL, my engine has only failed to
start once on the first time, but one more attempt started the engine. After using
AMSOIL for about 2000 miles, the lifter noise was almost gone and has gradually
lessened even more. Fuel economy has also improved since switching to AMSOIL. I
drive about 160 miles to school twice a week and used a half tank each trip. Since
switching, I return home from both trips with about 1/8 of a tank left.

I am currently at 98,000 miles and I couldn't be happier. I am going to switch to the
AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 on my next oil change.

As a full-time unemployed student, I am saving money that is already in short supply
and I get a strong sense of security from AMSOIL. I realize that if my car were to break
down, it would have a dramatic impact on my education and finances. My use of
AMSOIL has dissipated those fears and I know my engine is getting the best care
possible. Through my use of AMSOIL, I hope to get many more miles of use out of my
car, thus lessening the financial burden that I will already have from my school loans.

UPDATE - April 24, 2004

I just realized looking at my maintenance log that I've reached the 1 year mark and
15,000 miles of use on the AMSOIL 10W-30. There has been no noticeable oil loss at
all during this period, and I'm willing to bet most of my minute oil loss came from simply
checking the dipstick. The lifter noise that I used to have with the Mobil 1
continues to be non-existent. Since switching to AMSOIL, I completely forgot
that I ever had cold start problems until I started writing this.

Now that my year of use is up, I am switching to the AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30, but
considering my great experience with the 10W-30, I can't imagine what the 0W-30 will
have in store for me. I am by no means an expert in auto mechanics but AMSOIL has
made me an oil enthusiast!
