Amsoil Synthetic Oil for Diesel Trucks
Number1oil can show you how to eliminate oil changes, get better mileage, better protect your engine,
save money and protect the environment all at the same time. The use of superior Amsoil Diesel Oil and Amsoil's
unique by-pass filtration systems are the reason you will be able to accomplish this.
Check out the information supplied on this web site and many of your questions
will be answered. The by-pass filtration system filters your oil down to the one micron particle size ever 10
minutes while driving. This means you have reconstituted you oil quality continuously while driving. You replace
the full flow filter every 25,000 miles and the by-pass filter every 60,000 miles. The filter change is easy and
only a top off is required.

You are not replacing the full sump capacity of oil and you are not contributing
to the waste oil problem and destruction of the environment. You can also send a small vial of oil to Oil Analysers
for evaluation. Its just like a blood test where the doctor can tell you the condition of your vital
organs.

Keep your truck on the road with less maintenance and fewer oil changes with less
time lost for service stops. You can also carry a couple of filters with you and take just 10 minutes to change
them while you are on the road. This allows you to get back to your home base where you know the people that can
service your truck when it needs some other maintenance ie, brakes, lights, tires etc.

Wal-Mart tests new
hybrid trucks, alternative fuels

Wal-Mart tests new hybrid
trucks
|
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. announced it
will test two new types of heavy-duty commercial hybrid trucks and two different alternatively
fueled heavy-duty trucks as a part of the company’s efforts to build on its progress in developing
a more sustainable trucking fleet.
The new trucks include:
• A full-propulsion ArvinMeritor hybrid drivetrain that initially
will operate in the Detroit area. This dual-mode diesel-electric hybrid is believed to be the first
vehicle of its type. The dual-mode hybrid drivetrain combines both mechanical and electrical
propulsion systems. Under 48 miles-per-hour, the vehicle propulsion is delivered entirely through
an electric motor with power from lithium ion batteries. As the vehicle approaches highway speed,
the drivetrain phases to a diesel-powered system with the electric motor providing power only as
required;
• Fifteen trucks operating in Buckeye, Ariz. distribution center near
Phoenix, will be converted to run on Reclaimed Grease Fuel, made with the waste brown cooking
grease from Walmart stores. In addition, the remaining trucks located in the Buckeye distribution
center will operate on an 80/20 blend of biodiesel made of reclaimed yellow waste
grease;
• Five Peterbilt Model 386 heavy-duty hybrid trucks with
diesel-electric hybrid power systems developed by Eaton Corporation and Paccar, that will be based
in Dallas, Houston, Apple Valley, Calif., Atlanta and the Washington/Baltimore regions
and;
• Four Peterbilt Model 386 trucks and one yard truck, which operates
only on the distribution center property, will operate on liquid natural gas. These trucks are part
of a partnership with the Mojave Air Quality Management District and will operate out of the
distribution center in Southern California.
“In order to meet our goal of doubling our fleet efficiency, we are
taking an active role in the development of these technologies,” said Chris Sultemeier, senior vice
president of transportation for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. “We look forward to determining if these
technologies will help reduce our environmental footprint, are viable for our business and provide
a return on investment.”
Wal-Mart achieved more than a 25 percent increase in efficiency
within its private fleet between 2005 and 2008, surpassing one of the company’s stated
sustainability goals. By reaching this goal, Wal-Mart has been able to reduce its carbon dioxide
emissions and its fuel use. This goal was reached by using a combination of new, innovative
technologies, better delivery routes and by loading its trailers more efficiently. Now, the company
is working toward its goal of doubling its fleet efficiency by 2015, from its 2005 baseline. Part
of this pilot program is to determine if alternatively fueled trucks can help move Wal-Mart toward
that goal in addition to reducing environmental impacts.
Wal-Mart has actively engaged several suppliers to develop and test
these new technologies. This includes ArvinMeritor, Eaton, Peterbilt and International as well as
smaller companies. Wal-Mart will test these new technologies throughout
2009.
