Default Amsoil anyone?

Hello all, I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan but am returning soon to SOCAL at the end of this month and need to take the S out of storage. So with that said, im in need of fluids (engine,tranny,rear diff). I'm mainly looking for the full line of Amsoil products because i wanna try full synthetic. Does anone know/have the hook-ups in San Diego or know any place to get these?? I'm open to other suggestions in fluids if you have a place i can get them, i.e OEM,redline, gm synchromesh, ect. I need these asap please and i don't feel like getting robbed by the dealer

Things im looking for in Particular:

10W-30 or 5W-30 Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil
Manual Synchromesh Synthetic Transmission Fluid (5w-30)
Severe Gear 75W-110 Synthetic Gear Lube for the rear differential

You can order Amsoil products on line but you would probably have to have a residential address rather than an FPO address. An alternative might be HandA.Com which sells Honda approved fluids. Either way, welcome back and good luck.

Edit- For the diff, I believe they carry LE in the weight you are going to use.

I just checked the H&A site and you can scratch the LE. Order the Amsoil product or get something from your local parts dealer for the diff.

You should search and/or ask this in the San Diego subforum. Not to mention check out local meets etc. I think Infinite Motion in San Marcos may stock Amsoil, but don't quote me on that...

Go on Amsoils website and look up dealers that are local to you. They are mostly privately owned one year licensed sellers that actually buy in bulk for themselves but every now and then there will be a shop/business that actually stocks and supplys what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Or sign up for preferred ($20/yr IIRC) and order online at the discounted preferred rate. A distributor will ship to you. I receive my stuff next day.

Yep I ordered 2 MTf, 1 Diff, 6 bottles of oil, and a filter. Got the 6 month trial membership for $10 and saved 25% instantly. Think it was around $40 saving.
