Amsoil

[michael ward]

has anyone used amsoil products.. I ordered a case of 5w-20 synthetic motor oil and two ams oilfilters also ordered 13 quarts of synthetic trans fluid and trans oilfilter.. i talked to my tech today he said it was ok to use synthetic trans fluid in the 4r70w transmission with out any problems.. does anybody know any different?? amsoil says trans oil is good for 60k........ :confused:

Since you have it on order already, and your "tech" has given his approval, I see no sense in discussing it all now.

Happy motoring!

Happy motoring!well the reason i'm asking here because there just might be somebody who knows something my tech don't... like a "second opinion" and if there is a problem I have a friend who will buy the trans fluid for his f150..... thanks

Don't know the specific answer to your question; but we've been using Amsoil products for years and feel there's none better. I guess you "bought" a dealership ...smart move. :)

amsoil is great stuff, you will love it!

I tried it in my bike... it kept my bike lubricated. Nothing more. I say that because Amsoil users seem to be a cult and many claim it's an oil that's just short of being a blessing from God.

I don't use Amsoil anymore... it wasn't the price - it was just too much of a pain to acquire vs. the oil I get from my dealership... where I have to go to at least buy the stupid drain washer.

I put Amzoil in a 454 Mercruiser once and the OP dropped pretty bad at idle?? :confused: I was using Castrol 20W50 and hot idle was 35-40 PSI...with the Amzoil it was 15-20 PSI.....still OK but I didn't like it!! :mad: The dealer said I must have too much main and rod clearance....(BULL HOCKEY!!!).....I took the stuff out....went back to Castrol 20W50 with good OP and ran the motor over 2400 hours with NO PROBLEMO!!!! :bows:

I think Amzoil is OK but like was said before...hard to get and pricey!! Mobil I will do just fine!! :beer:

Whatever "floats your boat" or lubes your engine & tranny..... Everyone has their own favorite oil so whatever works for you. :)

I use their motor oil now & them & always use Amsoil oil filter's .

[G-Man]

I have been using Amsoil 5W-30 with the Super Duty filter. The oil and filter get changed every 7,000 miles and I haven't had any problems. Of course we won't know what the inside looks like until it gets torn down.

I ran Amsoil in my marauder with the remote oil filter kit too and was completely happy.

Okay...Wait a minute now!

Let me ask one question here...

If this is an Amsoil thread, is it a real oil thread? Or, just a synthetic blend of a thread?
