ASL Camguard™ is an advanced oil supplement, F.A.A. accepted for use in most piston aircraft engines. Camguard is formulated to
safeguard the investment in your aircraft engine by addressing the complex and interrelated problems of corrosion, carbon deposits
and mechanical wear. Camguard combats corrosion by leaving a continuous film of inhibitor on metal surfaces. Camguard halts
deposit formation, leaving your engine clean and parts free to move.
So whether you fly a little or a lot, Camguard always pays dividends with decreased aircraft engine maintenance costs. Just adding
5% of ASL Camguard to your oil at every oil change provides peace of mind that comes with knowing your investment is protected.
