Amsoil or Red LIne

Anyone have an oppinion on this?

Been thinking about converting to Amsoil, then read about Red line being better? I heard the older Amsoil was 100% synthetic, but the new stuff is diluted "a little". Red line is suppose to be 100%.??

i just did the first oil change in my wifes envoy denali and used redline. it feels smoother and peppier. but to use redline in my dodge would cost me over 100.00 a oil change. out of my league i'll stick with valvoline for now.

Not hard to find? I vituraly NEVER see it being sold anywhere.I joined Amsoil prefered customer program,get sent new catalogs quarterly and order on their 1800 number(can order on line I just haven't).Big Brown shows up usually in 24 hours.Most is 48.How much easier could it get.No check out lines,never any drive to get it etc.I use their lubes on my tractor and other eguipment including their syn.hyd.oil.They have a LOT of product for differant jobs.I shop in my recliner and reading glasses!

Hounddog, I also had the preffered customer card... it's BS. Order frome here:
http://www.lubricationspecialist.com/
His prices on his site are list prices, but give him a call... cheaper than I could get from Amsoil!

I choose AMSOIL

I heard Redline was better on a diffrent forum I was searching. There is this guy down in Texas they call the profesor. He is suppose to be their diesel guru. Anyway he is the one the wrote that AMSOIL had changed recently. Just ordered the full package =front to back AMSOIL with the Donaldson filter.



Someone wrote on a diffrent thread "welcome to DTR we will now consume all your money, time etc..." He was dead on. I cant get enough of the forum. So much info..not enough time



Hey TOP thanks for the box, I have not recieved it yet....just ordered it today, but it was nice talking with you about my next purchase.

SUPPORT THE HOME TEAM. BUY FROM DTR
