I just hate amsoil dealers propaganda. They all have stories about having a car with 250k miles and how they still run great because of amsoil. I have a 94 F150 with 320k miles and I use nothing but regular 10w-30 and its still going strong. IF amsoil was that great why dont most drag race, nascar, indy car teams use it? Im sure you have some propaganda saying otherwise.

sorry I was on my soap box just now

+1 for the Oil Doc. Im gonna have to place another order soon and maybe get some transmission fluid. Ill give you a call!

Absolutely.... Oil and Filtration is not the place to be cheap... Oil IS the Lifeblood of your engine and the filter is the Kidney that keeps it clean...

Thanks for the Kudo's... Remember, I have a 5% Rebate going through Dec 31st on ALL AMSOIL Products..

hmm that looks interesting...
The Pre-Charger has been popular for many years in Racing and Marine applications where a vehicle tends to sit a week or more without firing,

The Pre-Charger provides a shot of oil to the vital parts to prevent Dry Start.

As if it makes any difference, I had an EVO, sold it, and bought an '08 Lancer for the kid...

I have over 35 years in this business and almost 25 with AMSOIL. I have taken Technical Training over the years.. I think that trumps 3 weeks as a Dealer.

OilDoc,

My EVO 10 has 200 miles on it. Contemplating going with AMSOIL through you vs. Mobil1 Tri-Synth. How much more expensive is AMSOIL vs. Mobil1 per quart?

And, sorry to ask something you've probably already answered 10 times, but what AMSOIL product would you recommend for a Connecticut-driven EVO X that will never be tracked except for the drag strip here and there? Thanks!

Because prices vary so much from Retailer to Retailer I can't say how much the difference is. All I can do is give you the price for what I charge for AMSOIL so you will be armed with information from my end.

I can tell you that I will Highly Recommend AMSOIL SSO. It is my Top of The Line Street Oil. 5 Qts for your EVO will be $50.85 Plus CT Taxes... Less my Rebate your final cost will be $48.76 Plus CT Taxes

Call my Toll Free to place an order.. 1-877-356-6099

Excellent. Will 5 quarts be enough? I show the EVO X capacity of 5 quarts, plus oil cooler/filter capacity as well. I think I'd rather order 6 at a time to be safe. I'll need filters as well. I'm sure you have me covered there.

You usually can't get all the oil out of the lines and cooler.. I do have a couple people who are fanatics and blow the lines out so yes, they order 6 qts... Covered on filters too...

I have some running to do but will work up some quotes... Please send an email to AMSOIL@bestoil4you.com and I will reply. It is easier to quote and keep track of that way..

Thanks, Doc

No reply to this Oildoc?

I have not come across anyone at the track that runs Amsoil.
