...by leaking out. Bottom line is that it is not meant for my truck.

Hey Dbcx, im thinking about switching just to see if it does make a difference.

Not sure what brand or weight though. Been running 10w40 castrol.

Could i order through you or your company? I actually would prefer being able to buy it somewhere local though.

Hey if you can get me amsoil at 40% a big jug I'd try it, but I'm going back to dino.

You should be able to find a local dealer out there. Ill try and find the info when i get back home. They changed the website and i cant find the dealer locator. There is also a search you can useon the right hand side of the store page to look up your application. If not i can help you get it, but let me try and find the dealer locator first there may be someone down the street from ou selling and you dont know it.

I searched around on the website for a while. Question for you, you spoke about the UOA, how would you go about getting the kit to do that and/or where would you send it to?

I have a banner for my website on here.. If you go to the services,it will give you choices to look up, look under oil analysis, retail they are like $29.00. If you choose the preffered customer you can do 6 months for $10 and get the kit for like $22.oo. You get your moneys worth if you ordered oil,analysis and filters. If you just want a kit its not worth your $10 thats what youd save on the kit. If you have a buddy that wants to go in with you,that would be a good deal and it would hel your shipping prices by getting the weight up some
I just found this
See if this works:http://www.amsoil.com/DealerLocatorR...erlocator.aspx

what does 40% a jug mean?

AMSOIL is a great product. I sell lots of it at the CARQUEST I manage in here in Michigan. I use it for all of the fluids in my delivery vehicles. (2005 Ranger, 2006 Tacoma, 2007 Yaris)

Synthetic motor oil gives you like 30 more Horsepower, and takes like 3 full seconds off your 1/4 mile time.

They should offer the preffered customer program to you.
$10 for 6 months or $20 for a year. You will get at the same price dealers do.
