Oh Boy! Oberg

Running down the list of AMSOIL Products that Mike Oberg Motosports uses is like letting your fingers to the walking through the company retail catalog - Series 2000 20w-50 Racing Oil, Antifreeze, Series 2000 Racing Grease and Gear Lube, Supershift, Shock Therapy and more. The team even uses 5w-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil in the semi tractor.

Last season Oberg won the Sportsman 2 class of Championship Off-Road Racing or CORR. He’s in the running for a second consecutive title with just a few points standing between he and the crown.

The team switched to AMSOIL Series 2000 oil in the early 90’s thanks in part to the insistence of AMSOIL Dealer Mark Niemuth. “Since switching to the various AMSOIL products we have experienced a considerable difference in operating temperatures and wear patterns. There has been at least a 30 percent improvement in these areas,” reports Team Manager Mark “Gilly” Gelhausen. Near mid-season the Oberg Team blew a transmission seal on their Dynomax/Kumho/AMSOIL Chevy truck. That sort of thing will happen when you beat a truck into the ground week in and week out through 14 rounds of competition. Apparently when the transmission builder got a look at the problem he asked if the tranny had even been run because there was “no wear at all.” According to Gilly, “We’ve heard pretty much the same story from our engine builder. That’s why we will always be loyal to AMSOIL. When something works you stay with it.”
