If you’re like us, the sights and sounds of hot rods, muscle cars and resto-mods returning to the open road make you a bit giddy. It’s a sure sign of road trips, car shows and all things summer. We assembled a list of eight AMSOIL products aimed at keeping those engines humming for decades, including hot rod oil, classic car fuel additives and more.

Break-In Oil

For those installing a new engine in their hot rod, start off on the right foot with AMSOIL Break-In Oil.

It’s formulated with zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additives to protect critical components during the break-in period when engine wear rates are highest.

It doesn’t contain friction modifiers to allow for quick and efficient piston ring seating, an important aspect of the break-in process to ensure maximum power and engine longevity.

Engine Assembly Lube

As they say, a new engine isn’t built in a day.

Partially assembled engines can sit idle for weeks or months at a time. During this process, an engine assembly lube must be applied that will cling to parts and provide wear protection, inhibit rust and help prevent deposit formation. AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube handles all of the above.

Hot rod & classic car oil

AMSOIL Z-ROD® Synthetic Motor Oil is an excellent oil made specifically for hot rods and classic cars.

It is engineered specifically for classic and high-performance vehicles to perform on the street and protect during storage.

It features a high-zinc formulation that protects flat-tappet camshafts and critical engine components, along with a proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. It’s available in 10W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50 viscosities.

AMSOIL hot rod oil and classic car oil protect against rust.

AMSOIL Premium Protection Synthetic Motor Oil has been around for years and has earned a loyal following thanks to its excellent performance as a hot rod and classic car oil.

Enthusiasts understand the importance of using a high-zinc oil. This product, available in 10W-40 and 20W-50 viscosities, stands as a flagship high-zinc lubricant. It delivers excellent protection for other high-pressure components, like bearings and pistons, to keep engines running at peak performance.

Miracle Wash® Waterless Wash and Wax Spray

Most hot rod owners are dedicated to keeping their vehicle’s appearance on par with its performance.

For those who wouldn’t have it any other way, AMSOIL Miracle Wash is a must-have in the glove box or trunk. Simply spray and wipe off to lift dirt away from the surface instantly. It leaves vehicles with a super-shiny finish that protects against dust, light dirt and harmful ultraviolet rays.

Gasoline Stabilizer

When it’s time to prepare for storage at the end of the season, AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer is crucial to ensuring your ride is road-ready the following year. Gasoline can degrade in as few as 30 days. Treat your fuel tank prior to parking the vehicle for the winter to help prevent fuel degradation and poor engine performance when it’s time to start it up again in the spring.

DOMINATOR® Octane Boost

In the olden days, vehicles were manufactured to run on leaded gasoline. As a result, classic and collector autos often require the use of a lead substitute to preserve the components that were designed for the fuel of days gone by.

AMSOIL DOMINATOR Octane Boost is excellent as a lead substitute in older vehicles. It increases octane up to four numbers, helping reduce engine knock and improve ignition while helping fuel burn more cleanly.

Engine Fogging Oil

Any engine facing storage or lengthy inactivity should be treated with a good dose of Engine Fogging Oil first. Giving the cylinders a shot of oil protects them from rust, corrosion and harmful dry starts when it comes time to fire up your hot rod or classic car again the following year.
