    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    I wondered what happened to my answer? So from what I understand, your main objection is the marketing aspect of the company, not the quality of the products themselves. I'm not sure if I could explain it to you in any way that you would accept as any sort of answer. Some articles might be...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    So what exactly is your beef with Amsoil? Is it the marketing that you have an issue with, the products, or the Dealers? I can understand some not understanding the marketing and also why some might not be open minded to their marketing. I can understand the contempt some can have about some...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    Okay, I see this is going to get nasty.... Now who is talking about ignorance? Explain to us then why European cars are driving 10K between changes. Explain to us why GM developed their oil monitor system and says you can drive longer than 3K using it. Explain to us why Mercedes had to...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    Glad I hit my cue :) No, no background in chemistry or any of those other fields you asked. Just what I've learned since becoming a Dealer. My Direct Jobber has studied tribilogy and is Floridas only Certified Lubrication Specialist. If you want to know the chemical makeup and how all the...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    I don't know about the Amway stooges, but this Amsoil one will throw a comment. Castrol Syntec is a Group III petroleum based oil and started the whole change in the synthetic market letting a petroleum be called a synthetic. Not sure why you would comment that brand doesn't matter. Many of...

    Gear Oil...Royal Purple or Amsoil??

    Okay, I read this thread and did some looking in my Amsoil application guide. I have a 99 GT and have been running the Series 2000 75W-90 for 4+ years now with no issues. Last fall Amsoil improved their Gear Lube line and released new formulas to address the harder abuse, and heat many rear...

    Mach 1 What kind of motor oil do you use?

    Thumbing through the forums and found this thread. I'll probably sound a little biased because I'm an Amsoil Direct Dealer but I've used their oil long before I ever became one. If I had a choice between Mobil 1 and Royal Purple, I'd go with Mobil 1. In a recent article in MM&FF the Royal...

    Royal Purple?

    Well I've been an Amsoil user since before I've been a Dealer. Up until a few years ago no one ever heard of Royal Purple but as they started to become more popular from all the advertising, us Dealers did some looking into them. First off spec number to number from their Web Site to our...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    Those are actually the test results from Fast Fours and Rotaries. If I recall they are in Australia/New Zealand area, so it is possible some of the oils they tested were more regional to them than us. I have the article and some others on my Web Site, if you want to read it...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    Yes, this is a good article, so far the best one I have read recently. A few of the import magazines have written a few as well, Turbo and Import Tuner. I sent a letter into Turbo with a followup and got printed there. Import Tuner was way off with some of their comments. MM&FF did have one...

    Going full synthetic? huh

    I am an Amsoil Direct Dealer and have been using their products since the 80s, long before I ever became a Dealer. When I got my Mustang I converted it completely over as well. I've been using their high end Series 2000/3000 line of oils. The 2000 is a 0W-30, the 3000 is a 5W-30 Heavy Duty...

    Rear End Shifted Over?

    Hey all, Got a question on the rear axle. Is it possible for this to be shifted to one side more than the other, and if so, how can it be corrected? I had put 1.25" spacers on the rear and found they scraped the fender, especially the right side. I pulled the spacers after it became too...

    Wheel Spacers?

    Still not really sure if I want to do this, but maybe. I'm leaning towards the H&Rs now. The tires don't rub normally, but when I hit dips in the road, or go across an uneven surface, they rub. Horrible scraping noise as the tire tread grind over the inside fender. I did notice one side also...

    Wheel Spacers?

    What do you mean by rolling the fenders? Bending them underneath up? Might work, but not sure how this would be done and not really crazy about damaging the metal hoping it works. Won't this also weaken the fender a bit? While loaded for the show this past weekend I was parked on the grass...

    Wheel Spacers?

    I just bought some 1.25" at the Daytona Sping show last month and installed them. Looks good, but I'm finding they rub whenever I go over bumps. This weekend I had the car loaded going to the Mustangs and Mustangs show here in Florida, and scraped over every bump on the highway it seemed...

    Synthetic Oil Question

    This is true. A lot of what has been mentioned is for the do-it-your-selfer. The everyday person who probably doesn't care, just has the quick lube put whatever in. In many of these cases, they might not even care what is put into their engine, or just may not be aware yet. The attitude is...

    Synthetic Oil Question

    Hi all, Been a while since I made a post here, but got sucked up reading this one. Many good points, so thought I'd add my 5 cents. I have been an Amsoil Dealer for several years now, and was using Amsoil off and on for about 15 years before that. I'll try to avoid the debate on why you...
