New Engine Fogging Oil
Amsoil Inc. is introducing an aerosal spray that offers film retention and provides long-term protection against rust and corrosion. The product, which works on both two- and four-stroke engines, should be applied through the engine intake or carburetor as the engine is running for a complete distribution of oil onto engine parts. It’s a process that’s easier and more effective than pouring motor oil into the engine cylinders and manually rotating the engine, according to a press release.
