RE: amsoil switch questions
If you are so adverse to ordering your oil online, why not become a distributor? My lieutenant when I was a deputy sheriff was a distributor, and I have seen at least three distributors working in the arera in which I live. It is a great product, and if I had the money, I would be a distributor also. From what I Understand, they make darn good money.
I had a Honda Gold Wing, and if you are familiar with them, they have a rear end much like a car's differential, rather than a chain or belt. I replaced the gear grease in it with AMSOIL, and was so impressed, I replaced the cranckcase oil with AMSOIL as well. When I did, I had to turn my carbs down, as the engine picked up 750 RPM, which I an only attribute to the smaller amount of friction. Our new (to us) 2006 Dakota may get a total AMSOIL makeover, if I can convince my wife that in the long run, it will actually cost less.

Im a big synthetic oil extended drain fan. I do mine every 15,000 miles, but with mobil 1 extended performance. The only thing I dont like about amsoil is that I simply cant buy it off the shelf. It will be a cold day in hell before I order my oil online lol. It's great to drain my oil every october (i do just shy of 15k a year). I buy 5 quarts a year, I get the 5 qt. jug at walmart for like $27, and a $3 filter. thats $30 a year.
I'm a happy camper.
I trust it completely, me in laws and my family have done it since the 80's and all our trucks/cars have had long healthy lives. Same thing with my spark plugs, I hear ours are shot at like 36k. I'm going to throw in the autolite long life ones, what are they iridium or platinum? the 100k ones. See how long they can last.

Napa carries Amsoil now, at least in the New England area.

Just a few questions:
For those of you who are running all amsoil fluids, how much did it cost/was it worth it?

Umm, yes...don't remember exactly what it cost, but with both truck and car it was close to $400 I think...but that included all fluids for both vehicles, new transmission, oil, and air filters....
I tracked my mileage for several months before and after the change...I gained about 2 mpg after all was said and done...
Next step I think is going to be getting rid of the clutch fan and replace with an e-fan...

Order well in advance with the AMSIOL, my order took 2 weeks before they shipped it.
