Ordered the same oils plus severe gear oil for the diff and had the AYC fluid changed. Car felt superb, especially the gear changes.
Would recommend doing the ATF even if the oil was replaced recently. My ATF looked fine but wasnt the correct grade as Amsoil is. Noticed an immediate difference when it was replaced.

I haven't tried the engine oil yet...Will do tomorro but...
thought I would add to the Amsoil appreciation thread.. as dealing with performance oils was friendly, informative, helpful and very speedy... Goods received in about 32 hours after placing order...
That, with all the very encouraging comments about their products, I will definitely be trying the gear oils/ATF next time round...
Thanks very much!

Just ordered some gearbox oil from Don (AMSOIL).
Very helpful and friendly, as I have the car booked in for Saturday he upgraded my order to next day delivery.
And the club discount has paid back my membership fees for this year.
Top marks to AMSOIL for service.

Well I finally have my car back on the road. WHat a nightmare! But that is for another thread.
I have to say, after 100 miles I am very impressed with the Amsoil. I still have ticking, but much better than it was and it seems to be getting better still. The gearbox is the dodgy one we fitted last november and it is settling in far quicker than it did last time.
I will update this thread in the future, but so far I am convinced the extra money spent was worth it.

Well, my car's going to xtreme on friday for yet another bloody service. I have two test kits from Don. Last service we changed from whatever xtreme usually uses to amsoil's turbo 0W-30, so there's bound to be some contamination. I'll get a sample of this when it's drained (I've done 5000miles on it now), and send it off. I'm leaving the ATF this time (just changing the filter), and will be using the 2nd kit to send of a sample of this.
I'm not sure how long the analysis takes, but the lab should have both samples early next week. I'll post as soon as I get the results.
Incidently, this is the 2nd time I've ordered amsoil from don & co, and as before service was excellent, and delivery like greased lightning. I also ordered 12x500ml bottles of Motul RBF600 racing brake fluid from Oilman, who gave similarly excellent service, a good price, and speedy delivery.
Gonna have to wait till payday though, but need some ATF and engine oil.

Have to say Don, from looking at this and your other posts, I like your approach. You big up your own product, as you should, but fair play, you never diss any other product that you compete with on the market. Always have a good thing to say about the competition and give good, positive advice on their products too. I really like your approach.
I feel its about time I treated the machine to a bit of loving (with it being valentines and all that). And after all the great feedback from the other guys, I think this is the best way.

I changed all of my oils to Amsoil at the weekend before the trackday at Donny. I noticed an immediate improvment in my engine. It got rid of my lifter tick in about 30 seconds and the ATF has made a noticeable improvement to the shift quality in the gearbox although that could just be down to me flushing it properly and not leaving it to Mitsubishi.
The car came in for a good thrashing on Sunday and never missed a beat. The shift quality did not degrade and the engine did not become noisier and even though it got revved hard constantly for 20 mins at a time the engine temp never rose above normal. I think that is testament to the friction reducing properties of the oil.
I would be interested in testing the oil now it has been worked hard and the turbos have tried their hardest to boil it. How much is a test kit Don?
p.s. I changed the AYC clutch pack fluid aswell and that is now totally silent in operation and believe me it operated alot on sunday!

All I can say is that you won't regret it. Particularly the ATF - this stuff REALLY benefits the INVECS 'box.
The Series 2000 0w-30 has already made a noticeable difference to my car on cold starts, but it's 'acid test' will be what shape the oil is in after 3,000 miles... Previously, every single 'synthetic' oil I've used has come out nearly black and decidedly horrible.
I was that impressed with the effect on Ariadne that I ordered some Amsoil SAE 30 (Now 0w/30) diesel oil for Skarloey. It's now in and I will shortly be changing the gearbox oil for the Amsoil equivalent too. I will report my findings.
So far, the amsoil Diesel oil has produced similar benefits to the petrol stuff - the engine feels more eager to rev and is smoother, and there's a lot less vapour/fumes escape if you stop the engine and open the oil filler cap after a long run..... It's not burning!
I have always believed in good, quality fluids changed regularly - but Amsoil seems to be in a different league!
At the next oil change interval, I will get a testing/analysis kit from Don to see what state the oil is in - no point changing if it's still within specification!
