[0verkill]

the key is to go with what you want and to get uoa's to see if it works for you me i have amsoil in all the cars and only do oil one time a year. it is hard to find if you dont get it shiped to you like i do. the one time i found a guy that has it in stock i had to go way out of the way and to his shop in the middal of no where. i could almost here the bango's playing

What does the owners manual for your 08 say on oil requirements?

Your list.. Pretty much confirms what I've stated.. I use good 'ol Castrol GTX, and have been ~ 20 yrs now.. No issues..

[TLS_Addict]

Beverly Hills Cop III. Wasn't surge played by the the guy that played Balky (sp?). Surge was the guy that worked behind the counter in the art gallery?

Good job. You are just as retarded as me for remembering something that has zero value to it. haha

There are some women that has met my "standards" in the past but honestly I think if I kept using them my rod would have blown.

Lol! I amaze my wife with the amount of useless information in my brain....

[GTP231]

Is this what "GM" told you or some guy at a dealership? Yes I'm calling BS.

And most 2011s do not say DEXOS on the oil cap. Around May is when you started seeing it on the cap on the new cars coming in.

[INMY01TA]

Ok?


I still don't care....

Usually they just pull this crap with women as they are gullible. Guess they're branching out now...

[GTP231]

Bill who cares if he'd rather run Mobil 1 over PP that a former mod made out be God's jizz of oil?
My GTP seemed to use oil when I ran it PP but not anything else. So oh noes I ran Mobil 1 or Valvoline synthetic instead of PP. Hell I know people freaking out over blown head gaskets when running PP when it was just how it looks because of the parafin content...

If you must know Jon, it's not about the oil, I don't care what oil he runs. It's about crap a dealership tells him and preaching it as gospel. We don't need people spreading misinformation about what kind of oil they can or can't run (in an oil thread). He states he doesn't care about any of this while throwing out emoticons after he made a point out of bringing out of bringing it up in the 1st place. I was seriously interested in his claims, asking for verification. Meanwhile I found proof to the contrary. Then he didn't want to play anymore. I'd still like to know what it says in his owners manual.

[huskv]

the key is to go with what you want and to get uoa's to see if it works for you me i have amsoil in all the cars and only do oil one time a year. it is hard to find if you dont get it shiped to you like i do. the one time i found a guy that has it in stock i had to go way out of the way and to his shop in the middal of no where. i could almost here the bango's playing

How have your uoa's come back?

I don't have internet at work.
I was pretty clear I was told by a few dealers that changes with PP wouldn't be within spec. Sure that could be wrong...not that it matters.
Read it on TBSSowners somewhere as well, but that is obviously hearsay.

I am much too lazy to search for something that really doesn't matter.

Sadly I wouldn't past some dealers to try and pull a stunt like denying a warranty claim over it...
Also your posts seemed as if you were a 6 year old learning Santa doesn't exist when somebody posted a different opinion towards PP than what Sarge would post

[0verkill]

How have your uoa's come back?

i havent done any on my ta as im lucky it i put 1k on the oil each year. my duramay truck i havent run one yet as i had a fuel leak and it was in the oil and thats way it was changed this year and i cant find the one i did on my wife jeep but i know it looked good and we had about 10k on the oil.

[TLS_Addict]

My Jeep takes 8 quarts of oil.......most of the time I run 5 qts of the clean 5,000 and then 3 quarts of the synthetic. At 5k miles it gets changed. Almost all of the miles are back and forth to school so its 70ish miles each day round trip and nothing else.

I have used Mobil 1 and the PP as well as some other stuff in my LS1s and LT1s and havent had any burn more than the others. I do think that it runs smoothest with the PP and its a close 2nd with the M1, the other stuff I "think" I can tell but its probably just in my head.

Anyone run the ole Golden Spectro in anything? haha

[0verkill]

this is what i put in are jeep
http://www.amsoil.com/catalog.aspx?code=ATMQT-EA
i dont drive it that much any more and it is like 80/20 highway/backroads but the mpg wint up a bit and i think it runs smoother as well with the amsoil but thats just me
this is whats in my trans am
http://www.amsoil.com/catalog.aspx?code=AZOQT-EA
and in the duramax

[CompSyn]

i'm not in charge of our inventory and even if i was i wouldn't stock it. we only get one or two guys a year that come in looking for it so it wouldn't be worth it to have it on our shelf.

Whoever IS in charge of inventory should strongly consider regularly stocking the Amsoil OE product line. Imagine fully synthetic Amsoil on the shelf in the $6.00 dollar range next to Pennzoil Platinum and Mobil 1. It would be a popular seller for sure.

Those who have doubted stocking Amsoil in the quick lube business are quickly discovering Amsoil OE is a winner and stocking it makes sound business sense.

That is very true. My dealer group is seeing quite a boost in business and accounts w/ the new OE line including the OE Diesel!

You may also find that if your store is known to carry the product you will have more than a few people stopping by for it.

I could certainly help w/ the account setup....
