    Oil Manufacturer Data Sheets - compliance codes means safe to use??

    AMSOIL said to not use their oil if I have warranty with the manufacturer. After warranty expires, it’s is safe to use. Would be nice to see that statement on their data sheet. Wouldn’t that be full disclosure.

    Oil Manufacturer Data Sheets - compliance codes means safe to use??

    Partly, yes, a full synthetic but one ZF approves of besides the Mopar 8/9 oil. Chrysler has already told me ZF does not approve of AMSOIL’s published specifications (Chrysler/Mopar codes) on their data sheet that meet or exceed the Mopar 8/9 oil

    Oil Manufacturer Data Sheets - compliance codes means safe to use??

    Wouldn’t you think, if the oil manufacturer is going to produce the Chrysler/Mopar (ZF) code and also say ‘if you require this code, use our oil’ they should also say in the next line some sort of disclaimer that “however, CAUTION Chrysler/Mopar (ZF) DOES NOT APPROVE THE USE OF THIS OIL AND...

    Oil Manufacturer Data Sheets - compliance codes means safe to use??

    If an oil manufacturer data sheet displays a manufacturer code for a lubricated component, does the display of that manufacturer code in the oil data sheet mean that the manufacturer of the component approves of the use of that particular oil that is displaying the compliance code? So, in other...

    Glycol Contamination ZF850RE/Implosion @ 32,800k kms

    What’s interesting at the time the DSM pulled his tantrum from his desk and attacked AMSOIL’s credibility and axed my drivetrain warranty, I have one email from the service manager to say AMSOIL destroyed tyranny, cooler and hoses and to have AMSOIL repair the vehicle. He then phoned me and said...

    The first option is to always go to a dealership. If upon the dealership refusing or unable or unwilling to perform a maintenance task pursuant to rule mandates, the consumer’s other option is to take it to a credible, certified, registered shop for service.

    I have one person that has come forward on another forum that said this: “I have worked all three transmission plants that were in Kokomo, Indiana. One of which has been converted to the 2.0 engine plant. In all but one plant (foundry, castings, however you want to call it) glycol and water...

    Glycol Contamination ZF850RE/Implosion @ 32,800k kms

    Was hoping someone with a ZF850RE transmission has done an oil analysis or someone that works at the transmission assembly plant would come forward to describe the use of glycol/water as a wash system. Data is key here. My report shows critical numbers.

    Glycol Contamination ZF850RE/Implosion @ 32,800k kms

    Was well connected with Amsoil when all this led up to, during and after the flush when the whole thing went sideways. AMSOIL tech and supervisor got involved. AMSOIL legal opted out as this is a “Canadian legal matter”. Cross boarder issue or something, so they couldn’t be of help other than to...

    Glycol Contamination ZF850RE/Implosion @ 32,800k kms

    The DSM made me pay for the initial investigation and the photos above is what they found. He documented clutch failure but was unable to determine what caused the damage. They never once acknowledged the glycol in the analysis report. Also, the tranny cooler is a stand a lone system and not...

    Glycol Contamination ZF850RE/Implosion @ 32,800k kms

    “Drive it into the ground” was told to me in the service manager’s office and once further on the phone. No written record. Yes, I have the data sheet and specific AMSOIL letter head document specifically addresses their ATF is equivalent to Mopar 8-9 ATF. Both Dealership and DSM walked away...
