With all the talk of oil lately, I kinda hate to spill this .

The hotter the engine, the more fuel molecules get burned, the more power harnessed, and the least amount of emissions to deal with. This basic tenant of automotive engineering has come along way from the 140 or 165 degree thermostats we used to hand out back when I worked in the parts department in the early 70’s , to now often 195 or 210 degree thermostats of today. One reason manufactures run engines hotter is that catalytic converters require running temperatures above 195 degrees and many engines run as hot as 220 or hotter. Good news for your gas bill, bad news for your oil. These running temperatures have led to hot spots in engines I believe causing the oil sludge a problem that grows more every day. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/01/toyota_sludge_settlement.html.

Mike Westwood and his lovely wife

Some vehicles now require synthetic oil to combat this problem. But in my search for answers I Googled “Christian Oil Guy” and Mike Westwood came up. I called Mike who works with Amsoil and after a number of discussions emails etc… We are proud to have him on our show as a new Regular Expert. The Christian Oil Guy

Below is the History behind Amsoil.

As a jet fighter squadron commander Lieutenant Colonel Albert J. Amatuzio had ample opportunity to witness synthetic lubricants in action. These oils are used exclusively in jet engines because of three extraordinary performance characteristics: an ability to reduce friction and wear on engine components, an ability to function dependably at severe temperature extremes and an ability to withstand rigorous and lengthy engine operation without chemical breakdown.

Recognizing that these same benefits would prove invaluable in combustion engines, Amatuzio began conducting serious research in 1963. By 1966 he had formulated synthetic motor oil and put it to use in vehicles in northern Minnesota. Throughout the late ’60s Amatuzio continued his research and development and sold commercially available synthetic oils under a variety of names. In 1970 he incorporated his own name into a commercially sold product called AMMOIL. In 1971 this product name was changed to AMZOIL and it continued to be sold commercially. The true milestone came in 1972 when AMZOIL became the first synthetic motor oil in the world to meet American Petroleum Institute criteria. The new lubricant performed like no other before it. When the first can appeared on the market in 1972, it signaled the birth of an entire industry. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants have expanded the boundaries of lubrication science and redefined the performance possibilities of modern machinery and engines.
