I have always heard that a syn oil change would last longer, though I changed out my 0-40 coop from last winter with about 7500ish on it.
I think the oil was $6.50/litre but I will check. I am a preferred customer so I get a lot better price than the normal customer. To be a prefered customer costs $30.00/yr, so if you buy lots of oil in a year like I do it pays for itself in a hurry. As for the filter it is just a wix filter. The 5w-40 makes a big difference when it gets colder than -25.

Please do check for me! And 6.50 a liter isnt bad at all, with that discount that is cheaper then the coop 0-40 synthetic I bought last year.

Who deals amsoil anyways?

I will check out the pricing when I get home, I got a new price sheet and I am sure the price has gone up since this spring. Check out their web site AMSOIL - Synthetic Oil, Motor and Engine Oil, Lubricants, Air Filters, Oil Filters and Greases, they have lots of oil you can check out. If you want to deal with them directly they have a warehouse in Edmonton.

hi guys,
you can get amzoil just about anywhere. 15w40 diesel oil is about 8.50 a qt. but that is good oil. when i worked at clays we used the transmission fluid alot! and i would drain the qt bottles into a bucket,along with dex3,mercon5,amzoil atf,etc. we have to do that
otherwise the trash guys won't take the trash.

hi guys,
i've seen people spend anywhere between $400. and 500. bucks and sometimes more to do the motor,trans,transfercase, and both diffs in 1 shot. with amzoil. matter of fact i bought 4 qts of atf in my ranger the last time i clutched it. that was last summer.

Jack, that seems like alot of cash for all the oils, but if they do last that much longer, then it ends up being a steal!

Seems that way to me too, $400-500 doesn`t go very far in a repair shop.

morris, sheldon,
first off my ranger is coming on 187,000 miles and runs good still. i keep it good i love my truck and it has been flawless that truck doesn't have any leaks at all, and it will broil the tires. i just winterize it and my shadow! i have to go up and drain betha the old race car!
sheldon amzoil is worth the money! for what you spend on a oil change every 6000 miles or 10,000 for deisels. it spreads the intervals out alot! from 10,000 to 25,000 miles it will save you some money!
