The fire department is a commercial account of Dealer Glenn Mike Arnold, Hamrick\u2019s sponsor. \u201cWe have used <strong>Amsoil<\/strong> lubricants since 2003 in the fleet,\u201d Hamrick said. The department has 11 vehicles and numerous small engines and generators, all running with <em>Amsoil<\/em> products. \u201cGlenn\u2019s knowledge of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Amsoil<\/span> products has helped us select the right products for our needs. Every vehicle in our fleet has AMSOIL installed from front to back.\u201d AMSOIL Powers Generator The Macomb Fire Department generator at the main station is an Onan 150KW unit that is powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7 liter diesel. The generator is equipped with an AMSOIL Duel Remote By-Pass System and Ea Full-Flow and By-Pass Filters. For ease of oil sampling, there is a petcock on one of the ports on the filter housing. The engine is filled with AMSOIL\u00a0 premium API CJ-4 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DEO). \u201cThe reason for choosing Premium 5W-40 over AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DME) is the slightly better flow characteristics of the 5W-40 for cold-weather startup,\u201d Hamrick said. \u201cWhile this unit has a block heater to keep the coolant warm, the oil can still be fairly cold. This generator must go from stopped to running with full electrical load in less than one minute. The cold flow characteristics of AMSOIL diesel oil provide maximum protection and peace of mind for me and our department.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Get a FREE Amsoil Catalog<\/h2>\n<p>The fuel is also treated with AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate plus Cold Flow Improver at each fill-up. \u201cThe savings are substantial,\u201d Hamrick said. \u201cWe only change oil based on oil analysis now, where before we changed every three months or 250 hours. Fleet uptime is one of the most important benefits for us.\u00a0 Our equipment must respond and perform at maximum capability every time. The generator is just as important.\u201d Oil Analysis Proves AMSOIL Benefits. Hamrick said he was a skeptic of extended drain intervals when he first was approached about AMSOIL synthetics. However, he soon learned the saving potential of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. The department saves money through the reduction of waste oil generated, as well as fewer costs for equipment repairs and services, both in time and labor.<\/p>\n<h3>Get a FREE Amsoil Catalog<\/h3>\n<p>The department regularly sends oil samples to OIL ANALYZERS as part of its maintenance program. \u201cThe proof is in all of the oil analysis reports,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can see by the results.\u201d AMSOIL lubricants are especially well-suited to emergency service vehicles where every second counts. \u201cYou never know when you\u2019re going to get that call, and there isn\u2019t a lot of extra equipment available,\u201d Hamrick said. \u201cWe need our equipment to be ready and able to perform.\u201d<br \/>\nEven during the winter months, the generator has \u201cinstant oil pressure\u201d when it\u2019s fired up, he said. \u201cIf you walk into<br \/>\nour station all you will see in our maintenance room is AMSOIL products.\u201d Growing His Own AMSOIL Business<br \/>\nHamrick specializes in commercial accounts because his background is in heavy-duty diesel equipment. Name recognition of AMSOIL has improved in the years since he became a Dealer. \u201cAMSOIL is easier to sell now<br \/>\nthan even when I started as a Dealer,\u201d Hamrick said. He credited AMSOIL INC. for its work building AMSOIL brand recognition in numerous markets. His experience with the products also helps him with other fleet managers as he tells them his first-hand experience of AMSOIL cost savings, equipment performance and longevity. \u201cIt\u2019s all about saving money and extending the life of the equipment,\u201d Hamrick said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fire Department Counts on AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/fire-department-counts-on-amsoil\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[112,4],"tags":[7,2125,2129,2094,1615,2133,2119,2112,722,1408,2798,2104,2120,2100,616,1897,2103,2109,2064,2116,2134,2113,2107,2124,2095,2135,2105,698,2136,1196,807,2132,1653,2117,2122,2096,1256,1573,1549,1114,692,1151,2127,2121,2128,1212,1602,2130,808,1304,2126,921,1605,2118,521,91,1898],"class_list":["post-2049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amsoil-dealer","category-diesel","tag-amsoil","tag-analysis","tag-analyzers","tag-cold","tag-concentrate","tag-cost","tag-cummins","tag-dealer","tag-dealers","tag-department","tag-diesel","tag-direct","tag-duel","tag-emergency","tag-engine","tag-equipment","tag-fire","tag-fleet","tag-full","tag-generator","tag-generators","tag-glenn","tag-hamrick","tag-heater","tag-improver","tag-intervals","tag-jobber","tag-maintenance","tag-managers","tag-mike","tag-money","tag-name","tag-needs","tag-onan","tag-pass","tag-peace","tag-performance","tag-ports","tag-premium","tag-products","tag-protection","tag-recognition","tag-reduction","tag-remote","tag-repairs-2","tag-reports","tag-results","tag-room","tag-savings","tag-services","tag-skeptic","tag-synthetic","tag-system","tag-unit","tag-vehicle","tag-vehicles","tag-winter"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2D1TS-x3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2049"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2050,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2049\/revisions\/2050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.syntheticoilhq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
