I will hope that you will give me the chance to quote you on your AMSOIL Purchase.

If you are unfamiliar with some of the AMSOIL Products, we have several 10W-30's. Product Code ATM would be the desired one, Product Code SSO, 0W-30, is the toughest oil we have for Turbo'd Gas Engines.

I have a couple packages worked up for entire fluid changes which I can email you.

Mobil1 10W30 with Mitsu OEM filter.

I've seen an oil analysis that showed good numbers with Mobil1, that's enough reason for me.

Mobil 1 10w30 because that's what Mitsubishi wants me to put in there. If something goes wrong it's their fault.

AMSOil 10W40 or eneos 5w40 if you still have balance shafts with an OEM Filter. When I use the factory mobile 1 (both from the dealer and the store) my gas milage drops and the oil looks horrible when I drain it

Unless your engine is tired or the clearances have been increased, Try using ATM 10W-30, or our Top of The Line, SSO 0W-30

You will see even more improvement.

Been a long term customer of AMSOIL. I run the 10-30 in all my cars, have for over a decade. I will start ordering direct from the Oil Doc, hope to save some bread. I have been paying $7.70 a qt, even at that price its well worth the money.

Thanks Turbo Meg.

Shoot me an email with what a typical order would be and let's compare.


Thanks again, Doc
