Has there been any longevity tests on the AMSOIL products? How long have these fluids been around? OilDoc, could you PM me a shipped price of the tranny fluid for my 8 to 97203?

Thanks

AMSOIL was the first API rated Synthetic oil in 1972, All the rest are Copy Cats, which is the sincerest form of flattery. Mobil 1 came out in mid 1974 with what was a 5W-20 oil and there were quite a few problems with it as most vehicles back then ran 10W-40 and 20W-50.

I am working on quotes right now, when the notification came in for this thread.

I am slammed today but I will get your quote in to you.

Thanks, Doc

I have found that 2 MT-90 and 1 MTL work very well in Mitsu transmissions. That is what I have run in all my DSM's and now my Evo and I love it. I ran straight MTL in my S2000 tranny and that was great. If I lived in a warmer climate I would consider straight MT-90 in the Evo, but it can get pretty chilly up here in MN so the MTL is nice to thin the fluid out a bit. I have numerous friends running this same mix and everyone loves it. Archer Racing (some of you older guys may remember them from their DSM racing days, they are now racing Vipers) also ran and recomends the 2 MT-90 1 MTL mix.

And you don't have to mix your own cocktails to get the proper fluid.

What we have seen is that your shifts, especially 1-2 may be a little "stiff".. but as long as you don't blow a shift, there should be no problems.. It may cost you a little time on the track due to that slower shift and possibly a little more viscous friction.

I have noticed this too. I used to have a problem shifting to 1st and reverse with the oem fluid but these problems disappeared after switching to Amsoil. Now the problem is 1-2 shift is grinding and notchy which i didn't occur with oem fluid. Could you explain why?
