Severe Gear for hard running frequent fluid changers.

Marine for cruisers that run all year on one drain. Marine is a better gear oil when contaminated with water I feel.

It is foolish to make a comment that the Severe Gear will harm a drive as it and the Marine are both GL-5.

Just relaying what the Amsoil rep said about Severe Gear. Not saying it is the gospil.

"Open letter to Mobil":

Thanks for the work you put into making 15W-50 Silver Cap a product I have experimented with and feel is showing promise to be one of the best synthetics out there for the money in this viscosity range. ($6/qt at Wallyland in qts.)

The improved viscosity and increased anti-wear additives I am sure will make this a great "offroad" application product.

I think is is probably going to show up as being somewhere between REDCAP.....and GOLDCAP.. in terms of actual performance.

...PS....I am crushed that you messed with my REDCAP which was a simply an unbeatable product due to it's GrpIV basestock. I am guessing that SilverCap is a GRP III/IV blend or GRPIII only with viscosity improvers and more ZDDP than GOLDCAP?

Any chance we can get basestock and antiwear additive levels put on the label?

Also,,,,do not mess with V-Twin 20W-50...please?


Thanks,

Hydro

Amsoil Preferred Customer Discount w/o the Membership Fee?
 
I recall being told a while back via this site that the Amsoil Preferred Customer Discount was available with out the fee if you asked (nicely). I lost that information and now tried same but no go at Amsoil Corporate. They suggested that this might be a Amsoil dealer that offers this deal.

If you are out there please contact me via this thread or PM me. I am looking for the Series 2000 20W50 Synthetic Racing oil.

Thanks

The Preffered Customer membership is only $20 unless you want to go longer. You'll save about $30 just ordering one case of TRO.

I just went to go double check the price by the case and found out mine was expired. Just got mine re-up'd for 5 years. :D

I know earlier you said Amsoil 20/50 2000 was equal to Redline but what about Redline being Ester stock and Amsoil being primairly a PAO stock with a little Ester???

My membership gets paid for with the savings on the first 5 gallon bucket of drive oil, after that it's a bonus. :cool:
