Smile Going amsoil?

Hey everyone, I posted this on a few other forums as well, but I really want to get an idea of what to expect for amsoil.

I was just wondering how many of you had your trucks fluids all done in amsoil? I have been running it in the motor for the past year and am about to do my first oil change in the motor since then. I am also going to do both diffs, transfer case, transmission, and power steering. It seems as if everyone raves about it and likes it a lot. I just wanted to see how many of you used it in every aspect of your truck and how it worked. Give me the positives and the negatives. Even if you only run it in one part, let me know how you like it and what it did for you.

Here is what I am going with:

Motor:

SAE 15W-40 Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil Product Code: AMEQT-EA

Filter:

AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters Product Code: EAO80-EA

Front and Rear diffs:

Severe Gear 75W-90 Product Code: SVGQT-EA

Slip lock for the rear diff:

Slip Lock Differential Additive Product Code: ADABA-EA

Transmission/Transfer Case/Power Steering:

Synthetic Universal Transmission Fluid Product Code: ATFQT-EA

A case of the diesel fuel additive:

Diesel Fuel Additive Concentrate Product Code: ADFCN-EA

oh yeah, and of course a claybar detailing kit (first time):

California GoldŽ Clay Bar System Product Code: 07240SN-EA



Any help is great. Just want to hear what people think about the stuff and how it works for them!

I run Penzoil

From the outside, all you can really do is go by what you hear from testimonials, the various studies out there, and the OA's people submit online. From the inside, I can tell you first hand the committment the company has in putting out quality products. I feel very comfortable using as well as promoting the product. It's a personal decision and if you choose to go that route, you can feel confident that it wasn't a bad one.

I'm going to make another assumption that if you are doing so with all those fluid choices that you have already or are planning on setting up an account to get it at wholesale. If not, check first. I can hook you up too if needed.
