AMSOIL Lubricated Four Cylinder Sets World Record

1995 Mitsubishi Mirage breaks record using Amsoil gear lube, racing grease and synthetic motor oil

At the Pan-American Nationals in Atca, New Jersey, Antonio Torres, owner of Sakura, a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage, watched his son Eric Yamil blast through the quarter mile in 7.97 seconds at 168.30 miles per hour. It was the first four cylinder powered vehicle to break the seven second barrier. Torres says that AMSOIL lubricants played a vital role in the car's record breaking performance.

"During my life as a runner, I've used a lot of different oils and additives in hopes of improving my engine performance," said Torres. "Once we installed AMSOIL Gear Lube 75W90 and the AMSOIL Racing Grease, we noticed a much more responsive machine. This was proven when we broke the world record in July of '97. We are making small changes and adjustments, expecting that with AMSOIL products we will be able to push the machine to its absolute maximum. We believe we'll be able to break the record again."
