Default oil poll

Who in here is using what kind of oil? In particular does anyone in here have any poor experiance or other with Amsoil? I am about to pick up an '01 with about 115k on her, and have always had good experiance with amsoil in the past.

I like AMSOIL and run it in all the gear boxes but I can't use it in the motor oil area, my old truck leaves it layin all over the place. You can tell every parking space i park in for more than 5 minutes if I use any kind of synthetic.

I run Valv. Blue.
Amsoil Engine oil is fine but I'll NEVER run amsoil gear oil's again. I wont go into detail but I'll say that I've had rearend problems.

It wasnt Amsoil Related, It was the idiot driving and a bit to much power but the amsoil gear oil i was using was a bit too expensive to replace every 2 weeks . I thought I had it fixed twice and used amsoil again...Wrong..... I'm just used to tearing drivetrain componets out on a weekly basis

I have AMsoil in everything. Good in just about everything. However my tranny hates it so I'll proabably switch it out for something else after a few more miles.
