Have you put AMSOIL 75w-90 Severe Gear oil in the T-case?

So what is your real name? I'd like to verify your credentials and look for possible conflicts of interest.

I had it posted, but you have not been back.

Poof. And it's gone..

Well, this thread has gotten me reinterested in using Amsoil 75W90 Servere Gear, so I ordered and already received 6 qts! Will be doing front and rear diffs in spring.
I read that "Amsoil inspired" ASTM report again and that did it. It's only 2-2.5 times more $$ than Valvoline!

I occasionally read BITOG, but isn’t it just another forum, with lots of amateur opinions?

Yes. And too many acronyms. That has always been a bit of a red flag for me.

Do any oil industry experts actually participate and clear up the controversies and answer questions?

Not that I have seen.

If anyone has actual independent comparative destructive test data, not just chemistry analyses of ingredients like PQIA does or Blackstone UOA, I’d like to see it. Everyone has opinions and testimonials, but show me the data.

I agree.

BITOG has a lot of info, but much of it is restated opinion, and people malpracticing engineering, chemistry, and more. What info there is, is of what real use to us? Group III/IV/V PAO ester blah blah blah. What does that really mean to us and our 4Runners? Who here (or there) has the education and experience and the data to show any meaningful difference in performance and protection? Nobody I have seen. Those people work at Exxon, Toyota, elsewhere, and are not talking. I always wonder if Amsoil, Royal Purple etc can afford the engineers needed to compete with the big boys. Maybe, but I wonder.

What little they do say, like the xfer case lube paper linked on the tacoma forum, reveals minimal information. That's not an accident.

I bet the truth about lube oils is a lot less interesting than many people think, and much of the difference we see between them is market-driven.

I do know that I used to sell car parts, and many people have something of a fanatical, nearly superstitious, regard for brands, not really based on much fact, if any. "My old man always used Pennzoil and always got 500,000 mi out of his engines." A somewhat religious following.

HAHA.. well, I did use the Amsoil products to drain and fill tranny (sign atf) and their SG 75w90 for fr/Rr diffs. Hit a fair amount of welds on frame w/fluid film AND POR 15.

Forgive me Father I have sinned - - used redline on transfer and CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion inhibitor on some stuff under there.

Sorry, I have a life.

Anyway, here's what you posted...it was in the email notification:

"Rob Smith.
I wish I had a more exciting name. :yo:

I guess you will need some more information now?
op2:"

Nahh, I've seen enough. Hard to imagine anyone shilling so hard for something they have no financial interest in.

But I must be nuts, everyone knows that people never deceive or outright lie on the internet! :jump: /sarc

I used to not have time too.
Then I cut out all internet forums for at least 13 years and focused on "not having to worry" anymore.


What am I shilling for?
Redline? LOLOLOL.

And I pay full retail for most everything except bulk? :smash:
:wow2:

Funny, guess you never hung around Motörheads.
And, you described most everyone that pimps Amsoil and their MLM scheme.

Here... A few Amazon orders and this isn't even Jeg's or Summit when they have sales. Nor by the drum when I order direct from RL.

A lot of people talk shit on the net... I am not one.
I can back up my words.

Hey! I posted like 20% of the proof I use their products!

I used to pimp Amsoil before I knew better. "Going with the flow" at the time.
You used to get referral discounts from some resellers back then when I was "young and broke" and discounts were needed by me. Not so sure now.


Order from Redline and use the code "REDLINEPIMPS:hail:" for a discount and so 1jzgte and myself can pay off our yachts we initially purchased with our RL sales numbers.
:whipping2 GIT MOVING!
