been looking and searching for engine oils/gear oils and some test results..

i posted different thread for tranny/diff oil so check it out also.

what you think?

 

This is an independent Amsoil dealer's page.
Let me start by saying this... Amsoil produces the best synthetic 10W30 currently out there and is what I use.
With that being said... I am not a fan of a lot of these independent dealer websites because they many times do not provide the most up to date and therefore most accurate information available today.
I personally became a dealer several years ago because I got tired of being ripped off by these dealers... basically so I could get Amsoil for about the same price as Mobil 1 at the store.
However, you don't need to buy into a dealership to get Amsoil at dealer cost currently - and you don't have to deal with an Amsoil independent dealer either - because you can get dealer pricing through Amsoil's website through their Preferred Customer Program (PCP). The cost of joining the PCP is less than the savings you'd get buying one case of Amsoil through the program... and it's good for a year.
You don't get the kick backs that dealers get from Amsoil (think Amway multilevel marketing system), but you pay dealer cost and don't have a lot of the hassles.

Bottom line: Amsoil's 10W30 is still the best synthetic 10W30 currently available - and by a significant mark as well. However, don't bother buying or discussing the product with independent dealers with big splashy websites... take out the middle man and go to Amsoil's website and order it directly from them.

What I use:
Amsoil ATM 10W30

Amsoil MTF (transmission) - the best overall fluid I've used to date - not quite as smooth as Honda MTF when it's cold - but lasts a lot longer and is smooth as silk when everything is hot.

Amsoil Severe Gear 75W110 (diff) - I currently have Richmond 4.57 gears and this has been the best fluid (besides the older Series 2000 75W90 - discontinued) for the diff so far. You can also run the Severe Gear 75W90 in the stock diff... which is what I ran in colder winter climates. I run the 75W110 year round here in Florida with my gearset, but will consider running the 75W90 when I eventually switch to 4.44 gears.

 

good to know there's someone using this product.. i'm going to store.

 

do auto zone, kragens carry it? or online purchase only? thanks

Richmond Gear recommends (and sell) 75W-140.
Something to think about.
Allthough the Amsoil 75W-110 may be more shear stable in the long run.

 

No - you have to purchase Amsoil either through their website: www.amsoil.com ;
or through an independent dealer.

 

The required specs originally fell into the old 75W140 range when the original gears were sold... but the 'new' 110 spec falls in that range. It's a great gear oil.
