I have also heard of people running ATF in big twin primaries. I think most ATF is about a SAE10? So I don't know if it would be the right choice or not. I think Bob said the HD Primary or Sport Primary fluid was about a SAE30 weight? I think ATF would be too thin for a big twin tranny as a 90...

Just had my change oil light come on at a little over 4000miles 6500ish KM. 2000 Yukon XL 5.3 loaded. Driving is a mix of city (small town and farm) and some highway 50 mile jaunts and a couple of 200 mile plus trips lately. Temps have been around freezing up or down a bit but this oil was put...

Just had a lady pull into our shop off the highway with an oil light on in here 2002 Highlander 3.0 V6. We checked the oil, nothing showed on the stick. After being parked less than a minute there was a 6-8" oil puddle underneath. Upon closer inspection the oil was steadily dripping from the...

I have been using a few of Amsoil's products in 2 cycle applications lately but with a couple new saws coming I thought I would ask the board about it. Husky 3--XP series saws typicaly over 80cc with 50:1 factory ratio. Older Poulan and Pioneer saws with 32:1 or 16:1 factory suggested ratios...

Well I met a guy today that had a gallon of Militec 1 in his trunk. I asked and he told me about it. Said put it in your bike. I said I don't use additives and if I did I would want to compare several UOA's to check wears metals etc. He said if you use a few ounces of it you have no wear. Then...

We just aquired some new Titan Industrial equipment that have Briggs and Stratton small engines on them. A generator a pressure washer and a compressor. The manual from Titan recommeneds non detergent 30 in the pump and the engines on all equipment and the salesman made a point of saying non...

Check out the link on the Amsoil corporate page to a letter from Lisa Sagen of Harley Davidson about oil and warranty. For anyone who has not read a HD owner manual it does not say you need to use any certain spec oil. It suggests, but does not give direct instructions for API SL etc. like many...

Ok here is what I am doing: 84 Chevy 350, just broken in and has been run on Mobil 1 for a few intervals. Switched to Amsoil ATM 10W30 and Amsoil Oil Filter on new years. I am going to go by the Amsoil recommended way of doing things wich is change over to their oil with their filter and not...

"RevTech® Pure sounds a lot better than saying the group III is just a full synthetic and is the best of the syn lubes. I'm not sure who makes Revtech's various oils (Revtech is owned by Custom Chrome (CCI) wich is big in the aftermarket Harley world, they even have their own engines and...

Ok one more time. Has it been proven or disproven that certain types of oil (synthetic) more can cause bearings to slide or skid because. Roller bearings or ball bearings included. This is an old Harley shop argument and some Japanese builders say this is an issue as well. Many have run dino or...

PF 454 is the recommended part number for the 8.1L vortec. I am assuming that this was aso recommended for the 7.4L. Do these cross reference to the old long style filters like the KN HP-3002 etc. for the older 305,350,454, and 6.5 diesels. Diameter and threads look the same but this filter is...

Does anyone have a virgin analysis of the full synthetic Amsoil 10W30 (ATM). Prefferably by Blackstone and done in the last few years, but any is better than none.

I e-mailed Amsoil's tech center and asked what fluid is recommended for the transfer cases in Sonomas, Sierras, Suburbans etc. from the 70's, 80's, 90's and up. I figured their ATF would do, this is the response: "If these are manually shifted transfer cases, then our AMSOIL ATF is an excellent...

Most agree multigrades are just fine for almost all jobs but what about hot weather use with no cold starts on a hot small block or big block such as a 350/383 stroker, 383 Dodge, 454, 440 or 426? Should one jump right up to a 40 or 20W50 weight or would a group 4 SAE 30 (AMSOIL diesel sae30) be...

Has anyone seen this oil for sale in Canada. I am happy with what I am using now but a while ago when I was on the hunt for Mobil 1 the only thing I could find was 5/10W30, 15W50 and ATF at Walmart or Canadian Tire. I then found a guy in Ontario that sold it out of his home like an Amsoil dealer...

Well the stock oil filter on the new Harley Twin Cam engines have a bypass valve in the filter. K&N makes no claim to have one in theirs. Does this really remove this brand from the list of suitable filters for use on my bike. I do not beleive there is an internal bypass in the engine so if for...

We know they make great oil but which products won't void your warranty if you have a major engine /tranny/diff claim? The Xl 7500 series are currently certified, but what about any other oils, gear lubes, pre mix? Amsoil warrants it's product if used as directed and I'm sure it would do no harm...

So if we include all brands of full petroleum group 1 and 2 oils what ranks up there for wear, sludge prevention, extended drains etc. Was Kendall excluded from the last because it is good but hard to find? Can we split this into moly's and non moly oils. Is anyone here comparing dyno to dyno...

Hi all I've been lurking for a while and finally joined. Was wondering which grade of AMSOIL or any brand of syn lube for a manual tranny in a 1998, GMC 2500, 350 CID, 4X4 truck. Already have gear, engine and transfer case oil covered. Amsoil tech service says GM's fill is a 5W30 and that their...
