Dakotakidd,I get my Amsoil from the distribution warehouse in Edmonton as I am in BC,They have two warehouses in canada,Edmonton and toronto just go to the Amsoil corporate site and get the 1-800 number and tell them you want your products shipped from whichever warehouse is closer to you,dont go through these multi-level local crap distributors,Be clear and say you want it shipped direct from the warehouse in Canada closest to you.Once you setup the account like that you will have no probs with shipping and getting your oils promptly.If you cant get the #`s let me know and I will post them on here tomorrow,they are in my toolbox at work

As for not wanting to deal with "multi-level local crap distributors", ...even when you order direct from Amsoil Corporate or pick up from the warehouse, your account is assigned to a local Independent Amsoil Dealer. Amsoil does this so that they are not in direct competition with their thousands of Independent Dealers.
For the same reasons, Retail "on-the-shelf" locations are also set up this way and are the "downline" of an Independent Amsoil Dealer somewhere.

ART, I am happy to hear from you that Amsoil "is the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life, awsome company and products". I am pleased to hear that they "did you right".

Right Art,
Upon further review I see that you were answering DAKOTAKIDD. I looked at the first post from "misato" and he is in Seattle. All is not lost as they both have their information now. "Misato" received his via email and has responded.
-----
There is a study course that an Independent Amsoil Dealer takes regarding "product knowledge". Upon successful completion, and taking and passing an exam --- leads, catalog requests, and sales credits generated within the state of residence (direct communications with Amsoil) are randomly (like the lottery) redirected to Independent Dealers within that state. That person then becomes a "client" of that particular Independent Amsoil Dealer.
When I worked for XEROX, business was handled the same way. No potential customer could buy direct from XEROX. Of course I am not talking the low end machines that you see at STAPLES. I'm talking of the copiers that sold for between $5,000 and $125,000 each.

Whats the reccomendation for switching out to a full synth in a 2001 4.7? i only have 15000 on it right now, but i know how much of a difference a good synth makes. i switched from regular crude to synth in my old d-50, and that was a WORLD of difference....just looking for a little help, cause i've heard that full synth on a newer motor can be bad.

Here is a story for anyone who is questioning Amsoil. I was talking to a friend of mine laat night who races mini-sprints. These cars use motorcycle motors and run anywhere from 8,000 - 11-12,000rpms all race long. When he started he used Mobil 1 Synthetic, after halfway through his first season, he had to have the main bearings replaced, so he deceided to just rebuild the motor. After that rebuild, he ran Amsoil in it. After the first season (26 races) he sent the motor to his motor guy, the guy tore it apart and called him and said "how may races have you run with this". My buddy told him 26 races. The guy didn't believe him. The guy said that the motor looks like it has only been run for 3 races. Told my buddy that he was putting the motor back together and sending it back. Next Season goes by, same thing. Third season goes by, he send the motor to the guy already in his mind that the motor needs to be rebuilt, the guy tells my buddy that he could run another season on it, but it was a judgement call. They deceided to rebuild it anyway just to be on the safe side. During tear down, he looked at the main bearings and they looked like bearings in a street bike with 1000 miles on it. Needless to say, he hasn't run anything but amsoil in anything he owns since that. My next oil change will be to Amsoil from Valvoline Synthetic. Anyway, sorry so long, just wanted to let you guys know what this stuff can do.

Thanks for the story. Unfortunately there will be some on this forum that will think I posted that story under an alias. Though the following picture is not "mini-sprints", I'm posting it because the "mini-sprints" use "motorcycle motors":

Only difference between LaRocco's bike and the mini-sprints is that the mini-sprints run at a very high RPM, most MX bikes don't run that much above 9 grand. Another thing is that if anyone thinks that you were the one that posted, look at the email address. Amsoil doesn't pay me, I have never used it, but I plan on it with my next oil change. I just thought it was pretty cool how much better the oil was in his mini-sprint than Mobil 1. My real question though is how much better is it than Valvoline Synthetic? I have never run anything but Valvoline synthetic in anything I have owned. I had a 91 Eagle Talon TSI (turbo, AWD) car was awesome. got about 300 miles to the tank when I got it. At the first oil change (while I owned it) the car had 40,000 miles on it. I changed all fluids, to Valvoline Synthetic, front, rear diff, tranny(5sp w/ built in transfer case) and motor. After doing this the car went from 300 miles a tank to about 325+ depending on how I drove it and yes I drove it hard. Why wouldn't you, it's a 4 banger w/ turbo, AWD, and a 5 speed. it was fast.

99blkdak,
In the interim, let me share this information with you.
Valvoline Synthetic uses a Group III (hydrocracked) base oil, so it's not technically a "true" synthetic (blame Castrol...but that's another story), and there really is NO comparison between it and Amsoil Series 2000, which is a true synthetic (Group IV, PAO's or Polyalfaolefins - and/or - Group V, Esters),... most "true" synthetics are a combination of both.
If a comparison was to be made it should have been made between Valvoline and Amsoil XL7500 (was a Group IV / Group IV), now an API Rated Group III, due to the demands of the "quick lube" stations.
-----
Whatever the customers choice, I believe Amsoil's additives package is superior to Valvoline's additive's package.
-----
It is also impossible to list all the available oils in a small catalog, and I believe they are trying to relate comparisons that are between the same viscosity oils (except Mobil 1 which is 15W-50). My guess would be that Valvoline Racing Oil 20W-50 is well known, so it seemed logical to use it in comparison as the other viscosities aren't as popular.
-----
I hope you were able to keep up with me. :-)
-----
P.S. Double check to see which Amsoil product was used as a comparison.
---
The following information is provided -- NOT to disrespect any other manufacturers products -- but ... FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY:
By nature, Esters tend to swell seals, while PAOs tend to shrink them. So to counter this effect, the oil companies mix these two fluids (Group IV and Group V). Some oils like Redline lean more towards a higher mix of Esters, while others like Mobil 1 have a higher mixture of PAOs. Esters are generally regarded as more stable. Remember my earlier comment ... most "true" synthetics are a combination of both Group IV and Group V..
-----
Due to the recent reformulation of Amsoil XL7500 to a Group III, I have no available analysis between it and Valvoline.

The guy from auburn(BlueCC00RT) should call them , Centerline in puyallup says they have amsoil. thats only about 15min form auburn.
what does the transfer case use? I thought I saw a post that said they used the same in the tranny. the universal ATF. I would have thought that it used gear oil.

MightyDakSXT,
Did you request a catalog thru me? I can't check my records without a name and address. I must be honest (not that the rest of the time I lie), I receive approximately 50 catalog requests each month (just from advertising on the web) plus about 50 catalog requests from other sources. If any of the information is inaccurate the catalog is not received by the customer and is returned. All efforts are made (usually via an email address) to correct the problem. Human input error is usually the problem. Let me know whatever it is that I can do for you ... or if you are totally miffed and don't wish to consider Amsoil ... Mobil1 will give you good service. :-)

For the Dodge Dakota I can't give you a quick answer as to "what does the transfer case use?" I'll have to check my books. Can anyone tell me if there are different manufacturers for the "case" or are they all the same. In the interim I'll be checking myself.

Dodge Dakota 1993 - 2000 models for the transfer case:
GL-5 which translates into Amsoil Series 2000 75w-90 Gear Oil
Dodge Dakota 2001 - 2003 models for the transfer case:

This was the "Amsoil Tech Answer" to your "Valvoline vs. Amsoil" question. I think you might agree that my answer is better than theirs:
Amsoil Answer: "We’re not sure we understand the question completely, but if your asking why Valvoline was only compared in one viscosity, we have published other comparisons, and they rotate in the advertising and literature. Obviously it’s not possible to depict all the comparison graphs as it’s just too extensive."

Also ... If ANYONE (my customer or not) has ever requested a catalog thru my website and not received it, or had any difficulties with Amsoil Corporate whatsoever, please let me know and I will do everything I can to remedy the problem.
