    BMK-11 install options

    I have the same kit in mine. I went the oil pan route but don't think I'll do that again.. I've often wondered just putting a whole in the side of the oil fill tube would work? It's plastic and patchable if it didn't work. The oil return is the best place but as you mentioned, there really is...

    Need help diagnosing

    I'm not very technical and if I tried to explain this to a service station, they'd probably think I'm nuts. I have a 2005 Chevy Equinox. 1st oil change at 3000, then again at 8000. Switched to ASMOIL Series 2000 0W-30. Turned dark in color at less than 500 miles, which I know means nothing. But...

    Outboard break in

    10 hours should be fine. AMSOIL's 10W-30 and 10W-40 marine oils are certified by the NMMA for outboard motors. I know a lot a now recommending synthetics. Can get you data sheets if interested.

    Lawn Tractor 0W40

    That's correct. If you use if for blowing snow in the winter and aren't going to change the oil, then the 0W would be a good option. AMSOIL has a new commercial grade 10W-30/30SAE for small 4 stroke engines now. Just FYI

    Need Advice on oil weight with High Performance Engine

    AMSOIL 20W-50 racing oil is also a good one. Mobil 1 is a good oil. I have heard of some people having problems with the Mobil 1 "washing out" or tuning white with burning alcohol for fuel, but not with gas. As far as shelf life, if stored properly between 45 and 85 degrees, it should have...

    Oil change/filter question?

    I guessing the consensus would be to change the filter with every oil change.

    new cummins owner with questions

    Intervals I would agree with. First ones are the most important. Delo 400, Rotella, and Delvac are the most used conventionals. AMSOIL does not make the EaO filter for the cummins as of yet. It's coming soon and the item number will be EaO80. I'm waiting for it myself. Donaldson is our filter of...

    Greetings and a few questions

    Hi John, I'm an AMSOIL guy myself. Mobil 1 is very similar but the additives make the difference. I'm not familiar with the additive content of Mobil but AMSOIL contains seal protectant additives that prevent this. No claims of any problems that I'm aware of. Intervals can range from 7500 to...

    Need help picking out some gear lube

    AMSOIL also makes a gear lube the exceeds your requirements, the severe gear lube 75W-90 or 75W-140. Looks like if you have quadra drive, you use the 140 and the 90 if you don't.
