Amsoil?????????

[vctbmcam]

Going to change the fluids in the diffs and was going to put in amsoil. What is the best way to find it without ordering online and paying shipping. This will be the first time I have ever used amsoil and have heard that it is a great product. If anyone has some info it would be great to hear from you. Thanks

Go to the website and search for local dealers in your area...

Some dealers will rebate the shipping to you...

 

I used the 15w-40 Diesel Oil and the Series 2000 Read end oil (not made anymore) in my 04 2500 Dodge truck. No complaints.

 

The Mobil 1 and Valvoline Synthetic Gear Oils, and Redline oil work pretty good too..

I read somewhere that mobil1 isn't up to GM spec's and redline is just as hard to find as amsoil. thanks for the info, I will try to find a local dealer in my my area.

Are you sure you read that? Mobil's web site claims it is. Why would they put themselves in that position if they didn't meet the specs? Not trying to get you to buy Mobil, just lettin' you know that it works just fine. I wish had a Amsoil dealer near me, I'd like to try the stuff.

You can get Redline from these guys. I ordered from them and never had any problems!

Looks like Mobil 1 Synthetic Rear end fluid meets the specs? Thought it only has to be GL-5 for GM spec?

I just heard that mobil1 didn't meet the specs, I would still use it because I beleive it ia a very good brand. I was really shocked when I heard that it didn't meet specs so I thought I would throw it out there and see what everyone else has heard. Alot of guys run mobil1 in the diffs. I will check out that redline site, thanks for posts.

If you give me your zip code and what you want I can quote what it would cost shipped to your door. If you look it up in the phone book under the yellow pages or white pages you might find a dealer in your area. The only problem is everyone that carries AMSOIL has to pay shipping, unless they are within driving distance of a distribution center and can pick it up directly from there. There are various centers, a few off the top of my head are Orlando, Richmond, Dallas/FortWorth, Las Vegas, Superior WI Chicago, Lancaster Pa., Columbus OH., Portland Or. Wichita Ks.

 

Everything I order either for my customers or myself I have to pay freight, unless I drive the 3 hours to the distribution center to pick it up. I wish I lived near one so I didn't have too.

I just sent you a PM.

Mobil 1 does not meet current GM spec 9986115 for the rear differential, and they are the first to tell you as much. To my knowledge, Amsoil and Royal Purple not not meet the spec either. Red Line claims to meet it, but I've never seen anything documenting this.

 

That said, I run M1 in both my rears and have had no problems.

You are right, I guess I was thinking about their ATF fluid. What do you use in your front diff?

I have have never the diff fluid, front or rear. I have 30,000 on the pickup and think it is time to change them out. I was going to use mobil1 but thought I would try amsoil because I have heard such good things about there oil's.

Try your local NAPA store for Amsoil. They sell this stuff.

I use M1 in the front as well.

 

Hey, PM26 - Any idea where I can find Amsoil???

Yep, same stuff I use in the rear.

 

I should add that there is a TSB stating the front vent hose connector should be changed to a white one if not equipped if making the switch to synthetic.

 

My '02 had the black one, and still does, with no ill effects thus far. My '04 had the white.
