| The
vehicle shown is a 2003 Ford F-150 with a 5.4 liter
engine. |
 |
 |
| Mechanical assembly
took about 2 hours but some time was lost evaluating
where to place the unit. The unit ended up being
mounted in front of the radiator. |
 |
| The hardest part of
the install was teeing into the oil sender port.
What made this difficult was the lack of space in
the area. It was difficult finding a combination of
fittings and directions that allowed the components
to fit and gave adequate access to be tightened. It
was the mechanics opinion that this is not typical,
and other engines would have better access requiring
less work to plumb. Click

 |
| A typical install
would require around 1 hour of shop time and cost
$100 given that the mounting location was
predetermined and there was reasonable access to an
oil sender plug. |
 |
| The oil in the
vehicle was drained out and replaced with AMSOIL
5W-20 XL 7500 and an SDF-11 Oil Filter. |

When asked what he thought about the appearance
of the AMS-Oiler, the customer said, "The
AMS-Oiler is nicer looking than I expected. It's
cool that you can see it through the grill. I don't
even have to pop the hood to show it off."

When the customer was asked why he bought the
AMS-Oiler for his truck, he said, "I only put
about 10,000 miles a year on my truck, but it's a
lot of short trips. I was very concerned about the
engine wear being excessive due to the large number
of starts and stops. When I first heard about the
AMS-Oiler it sounded like a perfect fit for my
situation."
When asked if he was happy with the product after
it was installed and running the customer said,
"I'm glad I bought the thing. Seeing the oil
pressure gauge register pressure prior to starting
is nice feedback that I am getting what I paid
for."
