Hi everyone, Have been doing some research on synthetic oils and was talking to AMSOIL today and am very seriously thinking about becoming a dealer. Has anyone dealt with them before and what does everyone think about synthetic oils.

Hi

It is my understanding synthetics have been around a long time. They cost more initially but provide better protection for a longer period of time.

Been using Amsoil for over 30 years. Great stuff. When I had the company all the service trucks used Amsoil and there filters. Never replaced a motor in all those years. Some of the 460 Ford jet boats I had took a beating and never a motor failure due to lubrication.

It costs more but I have it delivered by UPS which makes it convenient. They also make some great gun lubricant.

All the drag racers use synthetics. Amsol, and Royal Purple are the 2 I see the most. Red Line is used quite a bit too.

I use mobil one synthetic in my car and noticed the engine temp is lower at normal operating speed. We've used it for several years. Love it.

I have used Amsoil in all my cars, I used mobile one, but the problem there is, it isn't synthetic dude. Exxon bought Mobil a few years back, and adjusted some of their products, read the label carefully and you'll see that their Mobil One now contains some trace protroleum products.

Synthetics as a whole are fine, one thing I have found is don't switch a motor with a lot of miles on it over. It seems like ANY seepage with conventional oil becomes a leak with synthetic. If you start a new or low milage out with synthetic you won't have any problems. Greg

Hi Everyone.
Thanks for the input. Well i have taken the plunge and sent in the application to become an independent dealer with Amsoil, just waiting for everything to show up now. A new chapter in my life begins and i already have people thinking i must be nuts to do this, but i tell them that the doctors have told me to keep myself busy am hoping this will keep me busy and it does fall into what they tell me i can do. Hope that this wont be to hard on my wrists. Just to let everyone know why i am retired is when you argue with a load binder and lose it rearranges your bones in many pieces, so much so that i now have a artificial wrist and one that is fused solid. Well fingers crossed, let the journey begin on the next chapter in my life.

Good luck to you, Rudy.

Best wishes, Alta. I hope this turns out to be a rewarding venture for you.
