AMSOIL Diesel Oil Drain Intervals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oils have shown the ability to maintain integrity under fuel dilution conditions, the abnormally high rate and unknown long-term effects have forced AMSOIL to adjust its drain interval recommendations as a precautionary measure in 2007-2010 Dodge 6.7L, Ford 6.4L and GM 6.6L LMM light-duty turbo-diesel pickups. In these applications, AMSOIL recommends changing AMSOIL Premium API CJ-4 Synthetic Diesel Oils (DEO, DME) at the manufacturer-recommended drain interval. Drain intervals may be extended further with oil analysis.

For complete, updated AMSOIL diesel oil drain recommendations, see the Revised Diesel Oil Drain Interval Recommendations. For more information on the diesel pickup fuel dilution issue, see the Fuel Dilution Issues in 2007-2010 Light-Duty Turbo-Diesel Pickups Technical Service Bulletin (72k PDF). For more information on the Caterpillar C13 and C15 fuel dilution issue, see the Fuel Dilution Issues in 2007-2009 On-Highway Caterpillar C13 and C15 Engines Technical Service Bulletin (54k PDF).

Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) Changes Its Operator's Guides in Regards to Warranty Coverage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Multiple recent operator's guides for Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Can-Am ATVs, manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP), advise customers that it is necessary to use BRP-branded lubricants or risk the loss of warranty coverage, while some guides also state there is "no known equivalent" to the branded BRP lubricant on the market. AMSOIL confronted BRP and asserted that its warranty language violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a federal law which prohibits manufacturers from requiring the use of a branded service/replacement part unless the branded service/replacement part is provided free of charge or is not intended for use in consumer applications, and emphasized that AMSOIL synthetic lubricants meet or exceed the engine performance requirements for both two- and four-cycle engines used in powersports equipment.
