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
That may have been me!

I would be willing to provide AMSOIL products to any forum members at Preferred Customer pricing which is dealer cost. Basically you will pay the same as I would shipped to your address. Take a look at the catalog link below and figure out what you need and send an email to [email protected] . Be sure to include the type of product you are interested in, quantity, and location with ZIP code. I will get back to you ASAP with a price quote at dealer cost.

Online catalog link (save it to your computer or bookmark the link for future use): http://www.modernoils.com/media/pdf_...ineCatalog.pdf

Thanks
Ken

Thanks for the response Ken. Unfortunately this is too late for this year since I just placed an order for all my oil changes this year through the Amsoil web site at discount using their one time only $10 membership fee.

I will definately contact you next year.

I was interested in the latest Amsoil web site posted test data that now includes the Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W50 which shows higher wear than the Amsoil Series 2000 20W50 Racing Oil.

Thanks,

Bill

With all of the oil jockeys out there - I have enjoyed the reading. Haven't quite read all of it, though. I am running stock Bravo uppers with Imco lowers. What drive oil do you recommend? I have used Mercury, but since increasing power want to switch to the best synthetic. Why is one better than the others? Thanks.

Can we include grease on this thread? Not so much a brand discussion, but just how many different grease applications there are?
Just within the Merc/Quicksilver brand I've seen: Special 101, 2-4-C, U-Joint and Gimbal, Marine and Trailer, Anti-Corrosion...
I can read the labels, but are there greases out there that I can use in more than one application so I don't have to keep 4 different tubes around?

To all those who have been frustrated by oil filters that wont fit in the mid 90s big blocks with the remote filter pointing down, the Wix racing 51069R filter WILL fit. The KN 3002, the Mobil 1-302, and any other tall filter will not fit. Finally I have found a top notch filter that will fit these engines. The Mobil1 M1-111 will fit but is so small it doesnt last long. The Wix Racing seems to be the answer.

Whats wrong with a Wix 51086 (NAPA GOLD 1086)? It fits fine and is the same length as the stock Merc filter.

It's not a great filter. Its a good filter but the Wix racing filters are superior.

In terms of flow only or in terms of flow and filtration?

Those previously listed ..have very good flow and very good filtration.

Go with a dual fitration system if more flow is desired.
