Slims's Diesel Performance & Auto Repair

I Slim the owner, also work as a diesel mechanic for the City of Amarillo from 3:30- midnight Monday-Friday.

I work out of a single bay shop at my house for now but someone always starts somewhere right? so why not here?

You are more then welcome to call or text at any time (24/7) shop hours are 1am-7am, Yes I did say in the middle of the night, but we also work all day long during the weekend. We are night owls here, so we stay up all night long but still return to our normal daily job other then Slims shop.

I am a AUTHORIZED AMSOIL DEALER,AMSOIL is my number one oil, AMSOIL is what I use in "MY" shop if you are not happy with AMSOIL let me know I will let you chose the brand of oil you prefer,
if u need it and I dont have it, I"ll order it ASAP and get it to you, my website is located on the page but DO NOT pay attention to the prices, i will not sell to anyone at those prices, I sell it at the cost I get it for (dealer cost)

All machine work gets sent out to the machine shop, severe engine damage and all heads will get sent out to checked for warpage, all flywheels will be re-surfaced, as well as broken driveshafts will be re-balanced and new tubes if needed.

We do not rebuild automatic transmissions, we would be more then happy to pull and install them after we send the transmission to Turbo Exchange, or Five-Star, unless customer says otherwise.



AMSOIL INFO-
THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN SYNTHETIC AND CONVENTIONAL OIL
Motor oil, whether synthetic or petroleum-based, consists of molecular chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms, referred to as hydrocarbons. Petroleum crude oil is a thick, highly flammable dark-brown or greenish liquid with high energy density. Many contaminating elements exist in this complex mixture of hydrocarbons, including sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and metal components such as nickel or vanadium. Petroleum crude oil is the raw material used for a wide variety of petrochemicals, including solvents, fertilizers, plastics and lubricants.

The oil refining process separates the various types of molecules in the oil by weight, resulting in a concentrated batch suitable for manufacturing products such as gasoline, LPG, kerosene or lubricant base oils. The chemical composition of conventional motor oil can vary substantially depending on the raw crude oil refining process.

While petroleum base oils are refined, synthetic base oils are manufactured and can achieve a higher performance level. Synthetic oil is chemically engineered for a certain molecular composition with a tailored and uniform structure. Such fine-tuned control over the final molecular composition of synthetic oils is the key to their superior performance properties. Designing molecular structures in a planned and orderly fashion results in molecules, and end-products, that are far more stable than their refined petroleum counterparts.

Can synthetic oil be used in new engines? Yes. Synthetic oil is perfectly safe for use in both new and high-mileage engines.
