Oh and I am using their 5w 30 Diesel oil at the moment. The time has come for an oil change but I dont know weather I should continue with the Diesel or try the Z-Rod.

HDD diesel oil 5W30 is an amazing oil hands down and you cant go wrong with it.
can be used on low and high powered evo 8,9, and 10

I've used it before but like others have said I can't be bothered to go out of my way to find it/ order it. I don't understand why Amsoil isn't sold in common part stores.

Do you have larger pictures of the tranny, tcase and rear diff fluids and the specs on those fluids as well?

I've been using Mobil 1 religiously, but have been thinking of making the switch. Mobil 1 isn't even that available in Canada, so getting AMSoil will be like jumping through hoops. I know some local stores/retail outlets carry it, but there is only usually like 1 or 2 bottles in stock lol.

They do, check you NAPA, Car Quest and some of the other mom and pop shop they should have it.

or get an account with AMSOIL and you can buy wholesale.

Also, saying 85% of the board uses Amsoil is a pretty bold claim that I know you can't back-up. Hyping your products is one thing, but making up "facts" is another...

Not going to respond to Kracka's post.

Ummm....we don't have NAPA and Car Quest. We have.....Canadian tire. And walmart.

EDIT: Anyone can be an amsoil dealer btw. But I dunno like others said the dealer prices are not THAT great unless maybe they're ordered in bulk?

Since I plan in advance I feel Amsoil is easy enough to get. I just pm apagan01 and 2 days later the oil show up at my door step. Never had to hassle with the strange people and crying children at Walmart.

I use Amsoil for all my needs. Although I didn't notice any difference when switching from Redline for my transmission. I guess that means in terms of shifting, Amsoil works as well as Redline in my opinion

Hmmm good to know when I make the switch, I'll give you a shout.

Are you using it for your tranny, tcase and rear diff too?

+1, I get the oil 2 or 3 days after I order it even despite living in Canada. Can't get much more accessible than that.

Only thing I will use.

I have it in the engine, trans, t-case, and rear diff, as well as the wix filter.

Have my next change sitting in the garage now waiting to go in.
