Well my Son how bout I school you on the original name. Notice the "S" looks like a "Z" on current AMS/OIL products that is because PenzOil felt threatened with this up and coming company and sued "AMZ/OIL".
So guess who had deeper pockets.
My Dad was the original AMZ/OIL distributor in WA. We started using AMZ/OIL in the mid 70's and have thru today.
For your viewing pleasure the original AMZ/OIL oil can.

Well, gramps….I’m well aware of that, but thanks for the history lesson.
When you go to Napa for a set of main bearings and brake shoes, do you ask for a set of babbits and brake linings?
And the S looking like a Z is a stretch but…
Go to a tire store and ask for a set of casings and see the look you get.

The Duramax still uses a 9th injector for the regen. It was smart of Ford to do the same thing. No more washing cylinders during regen.

I would be curious to see the cylinder walls in the my truck to see what the cross hatch looks like. Also curious how the CGI block material is holding up as well in terms of the cross hatch.

With 1200 lb feet of torque and a 4.92 first gear ratio, 4.30 axle gears are too low. I can see offering 4.30 gears for the odd person who only tows with his truck. For me to go to an F450 will be like giving up 9th and 10th gear. In spite of that I have an F450 on order.
