We recently sponsored our local classic car club here in Clarksville Tennessee. The Memory Lane Cruisers is a group of enthusiasts that own and love hot rods and classic cars. As an AMSOIL dealer it is my goal to be able to educate this great bunch of folks on the advantages of synthetic oil in your hot rod and classic car. Since 1972, AMSOIL has manufactured synthetic lubricants for all types of lubrication needs.
Today we are going to talk about some products that would help maintain and improve performance to help those classic cars run their best. With AMSOIL, you can be sure you are getting the best synthetic oil for your classic car or truck.
1. High Zinc Engine Oil
Many older cars were designed with flat tappet cams which in turn increase friction in the camshat and lifter surface. Using the proper lubricant for your vehicle is important. This is why AMSOIL has come out with the Z-Rod line as well as the High Performance series. If you want the best protection for your classic car AMSOIL has a product for you. To understand more about the wear protection needed for Flat Tappet Cams, check out the AMSOIL TSB on Zinc and Flat Tappet Cams.

AMSOIL Super Shift Racing Transmission Fluid acts as a heat transfer fluid and by controlling clutch slippage, it helps reduce operating temperatures of hot transmissions by substantial margins.

4. Fuel System Maintenance
As they say, Gas isn’t what it used to be. Today with low quality ethanol gasoline as well as variable amounts of cleaning detergents (depending on where you get your gas) it’s a smart idea to treat all gas as if it were suspect.
AMSOIL offers several gasoline additives to increase performance, offer fuel system protection and help decrease fuel degradation.
They say a oz of prevention is better than a pound of cure and in the case of gasoline, a few ounces of fuel stabilizer or performance improve can mean the difference of getting that classic car started in the spring or even worse being left stranded on the side of the road because bad fuel or fuel system problems.
AMSOIL Dominator Octane Boost can be used as a gasoline lead substitute at the same treat rates in collector automobiles, older off-road equipment and pleasure vehicles.
