Gustafson says, "I'm impressed!  First, we've reduced repair costs significantly.  We save $5,000 for every overhaul we don't have to do, and save even more on reduced downtime.   Second, we cut our capital costs and now buy trucks as old as 7 years.  With proper maintenance using Amsoil lubricants, we keep them on the road without any driveline maintenance for an estimated 10 years.    We've never lost a U-joint."

Gustafson was sold on AMSOIL Motor Oil after AMSOIL Direct Jobber
Jim Bergquist introduced it to him in 1983.  Gustafson installed it in his wife's car, then his two over-the-road trucks.  Experiencing how smoothly the trucks ran and shifted convinced Gustafson to become an Amsoil Dealer.

Gustafson recently brought Bergquist on board to work along side him at Thorpe.  The two men have 22 International DT466 beverage trucks and two Ford trucks completely converted to AMSOIL.  Gustafson has always changed oil at 24,000 miles/two years even though the oil kept testing okay.

He plans to stretch it out to 36,000/three year intervals.  The engines have
AMSOIL 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil with AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid in the transmissions, Series 2000 Synthetic 75W90 Gear Lube in the differentials and Synthetic Mult-Purpose Grease on the wheel bearings.   The Forklifts use AMSOIL Hydraulic Oil.
