i am intersted in amsoil so where would i get it locally? also would the synchroshift be any benefit to an auto transmission or is it mostly for manuals?

 

uh oh...

 

Oh yeah, I also want to know how do you check your transmission oil and when should it be changed?

 

I have been wanting to try Royal Purple. I have heard nothing but good things.

 

So is there anything bad about AMSoil?

 

It lasts too long...says the jiffy lube employee.

I use mobilone extended performance, but I know...i'm not a ralliart. Used royal purple before mob 1 but it just feels the exact same, maybe only way to really know is send it off to get tested.

 

Foreal? Is that a bad thing?

 

As long as you keep changing the oil filter I don't see why that'd be an issue

 

I don't use FB much. Click on my username and send me a private message using from there.

Check the Amsoil website, they list the local dealers there, or you can buy directly from their website. BG Synchroshift is manual gear oil, check their website, it's plausible they may have something for automatic gear boxes.

Here you go. I change my oil every 2-3 years due to New England weather.

Tried the RP gear oil, was not a fan.

I have not heard of anything bad in particular, I love the extended oil change intervals!

The oil will outlast the filter a few times over with everyday driving.

 

AMSOIL's best

of course i would say that right

 

Amsoil gets a LOT cheaper if you don't buy it from the store. Look for a dealer, such as the vendor up above, as their price shipped is much much lower than the $8.99 or more that you see on the shelf. I usually end up paying less for Amsoil than I would for Mobil 1 at the store.

 

There was a lot of sarcasm in my comment about the extended life, that just doesn't come through in a forum post. Changing every 5k is what I do, but I don't use amsoil either. amsoil does recommend 15k in some cases, 7k in some case, and then "under heavy use and turbochargers" they still say 3k or manufacturer specification, so just be sure you aren't over running your oil.

As far as JiffyLube, they'll always say "every 3k" no matter what, because they don't want to lose business. For me, I just always say use a synthetic if you have a turbo, because it stands up to heat better...then choose the brand you like (amsoil, redline, RP, mobile1)

 

Ahhh, so after how many miles should a completely stock Ralliart need an oil change? I'm guessing I'll go to the store to check out AMSoil and Royal Purple and see which one I like best.

 

Wow, answered most of my questions that I have, thanks for all the information, I appreciate it. Luckily there's people like you around and not complete sarcastic @ss's I've seen on other forums. lol.

 

I'll be changing my oil pretty soon so you'll be hearing from me soon.
