For a Canadian guy such as myself (winnipeg, Manitoba) is there a retailer out here that i can get AMSOIL from? I need to do all my fluids since my car is completely apart (trans, T-Case. Engine oil...etc).
I'll go in on a group buy or whatever, but i'll need my fluids in about 3 weeks.

remeber ASMOIL has to cover their liability.
i myself and many other cars here on evom have been using it for years, ASMOIL is also re assesing this through their technical dept.
I use literally every amsoil product I can fit in my evo. My first impressive of amsoil products were that they not only served their purpose but drastically improved the performance and overall feel of my vehicle. Bottom line is, I can no longer use any other product; once you have become accustomed the the best, you can't go back.
I just got Amsoil for the first time in my last oil change.
It was the only Amsoil I could find locally, my Murrays (transitioning to Oreileys) had Amsoil Signature Serious 5w-30.
I'd rather have a 10w, but I never really beat on it before she's warmed up.
Works well, revs smooth, has a bit more butt dyno than the Royal Purple I took out. So far I've ran M1, RoyalP, and now Amsoil. Amsoil seems the best so far, but I have a strong interest in ENEOS oil.

I just changed my oil out again...even though my last report said to run the oil to 6k miles and 4-5 track days I changed it at ~3k because I already had 3 track days on it on E85 for the first time..and at the track my intake mani/turbo was glowing bright orange and i don't imagine thats very friendly to oil...well I took a sample but I have to say I'm pretty sure the results will show that I changed it way to early! the consistency is that of good oil..just darker as oil will always shift toward being black

I use SSO 0w30 for my X and I've never Gone back to Mobile 1. I track my car and when I do I know I can drive back home and finish driving till my scheduled interval of 5k miles, my preference. This gives me peace of mind about, "oh shoot I don't have time to change my oil because of this or that." I just plain don't have to worry. That alone is worth every extra dollar I pay for Amsoil. I Can say that Amsoil Is by far the best oil I've ever used, every oil change no metal in my oil whatsoever. It just comes out clear black oil, I love it. I've been sitting on a case of oil for my drive train as well waiting for 30k to get close. Would have been changed out already but i got $100 of Diaqueen for free. Bottom line is I plan on keeping this car forever and when my engine is built I plan on it running forever. To help me meet my dreams with no fail coming from my car. I'll be honest I'm a dumbass who will start his car and start backing out the driveway before the car has a chance to idle for 10 seconds, then I'm going into 3-4k rpm and then as soon as I see coolant temp bars I'm full boosting. 23k+ miles no issues what so ever. That is protection and you can't beat that.
Besides I pick up 10whp from 0w30!!! J/K

Im using ZRod 10w30, severe gear 75w90, MT lube, and brake fluid. Ill probably start using Amsoil on my rear diff soon as well. After changing out my stock cams i was surprised in how clean the head was. The car runs fine on Amsoil and i dont see a need to switch.

I run Amsoil in my engine, trans, transfercase, rear diff, brake fluid, and even my intake filter. My car revs smoother than Mobile 1 and shifts smoother than BG syncroshift. The only downside to amsoil is it seems to take longer to warm up. That goes for both my motor and trans. Other than that every other fluid is invisible to me now. For those who comment about convenience I suggest you learn time management skills and order in advance. My fluids take a day to arrive at my house when ordered. Who buys products from local stores anymore? Also I change my oil every 8k miles with amsoil instead of 3k when I used mobile 1. My car sees 2-3 autox events a month and gets beat to **** on the street and is still standing strong.

I am glad everyone has had good expiriences,,,, with all the new oil formulas that have come out to help with the zinc and phos issues i think everyone will be as happy or happier in the commming years.
For the guys using it in the rear diff and tcase it has been a good deal that AMSOIL turnned up the wick on the falex testing and they beafed up the shear point of the oil to >3500 lbf.


For diffs, now >3500 lbf
