Re: Marine Lubrication
 

Amsoil and Mobil are in my mind equal more or less because Amsoil buys their PAO Group IV base from Mobil and then designs it's additive chemistry to it.

They used to blend in some Group V base into the Series 3000 oils but that is too expensive now.

So my money is on the premium Amsoil products or Mobil.

Even as a preferred customer, isn't the Amsoil 20w-50 more expensive than the Mobil 15w-50? Does anyone know the price of the Amsoil? Thanks.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

I'm sure it is. I think I pay just under $7 a quart for the Amsoil. Can't imagine paying retail for it. :eek: But it's proven to be worth it to me after running it 1 season so far.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

It depends on what AMSOIL 20w-50 you are looking at and the quantity that you purchase.

An easy way to find out what the Preferred Customer prices are is to follow the instructions here http://www.modernoils.com/Purchase_at_Dealer_Cost.html . Once you add the PC membership to your cart all prices are at wholesale cost.

Real simple. There is also a link to a Free Catalog on that page.

where can I get the v-twin 20w50? I looked at wally world, they didn't have it. autozone, etc. don't have it either.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

I looked at the Amsoil site. What 20w-50 oil is everyone using? I did see a motorcyle oil, is that the one? Since I am already a preferred customer, I was seriously comparing Mobil 1 products. Thanks.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

For overall performance it would be between the TSO Series 2000 and the MCV Motorcycle Oil. The TSO will have a slightly better base stock while the MCV has a better anti-corrosion package. The ARO 20w-50 is a very good value and is a proven formula, not bad for under $6 per qt.

Here is the scoop on Amsoil products:


Amsoil SAE 20W-50 Synthetic High Performance Motor Oil (ARO) $7.75/qt Most similiar to M-1 15W-50 of all their products.

Amsoil Series 2000 Synthetic 20W-50 Racing Oil (TRO) $9.25/qt
Similiar to M-1 V-twin BUT it has more friction reduction additives.

Amsoil SAE 60 Synthetic Racing Oil (AHR) $9.50/qt
Got a big blower or similiar set-up where fuel gets into the oil and dilutes it? This is for engines such as a Sterling Blower 1200+ HP.

Amsoil SAE 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil (MCV) $9.10/qt
About even with M-1 V-Twin.

Amsoil discount if a dealer is 15% off I think...makes up for UPS shipping?
