I guess I've sold myself after hearing all the posts, and I'm a salesperson at heart...

I guess I've got my answer, some people and maybe more when the word spreads may want this line of product. Thanks everyone. ~Joshua

I might try Amsoil oil after I use a ton of GC that I have.

I have used AMSOIL for a long time in most everything I own. When I took apart my last motor it had alot of rust film and build up???? I've yet to call the factory on it. That a side I've had great luck with it. 13 yrs.

I would by amsoil from you also. Im currently running Mobil 1 0w40, But for my next change Im going to go with amsoil european 5w40. To order direct is pretty expensive, but from what Ive read its superior to mobil 1 and thats all that counts

Default Online Amsoil

Its the shipping on top of the price that keeps me from buying on line.
It is the best engine oil out there , and I use it in the vette exclusively

I'd buy it from you also. Can't find a sponsor that carries it.

I'd order it form you. Is the 0-30 not as good for our motors as the 5-40?

So I gave up on this $h!t and became an Amsoil preferred customer and will use their 5W-40. F Castrol if they refuse to sell me their good stuff!!!!

So how much would you be able to sell it for per quart??? I used the European formula 5W40 once in my car and can honestly say that i was impressed. My car held great oil pressure when it was fully warmed up, and the little tiny bit of piston slap i have sometimes on cold start up was completely gone. I use GC only because the Amsoil 5w40 is so expensive...i payed like 7.50 a quart compared to 5.00 for GC.

I know this doesn't mean anything as far as LS1s, but my company runs amsoil 5w-30 in all our work vans. We have a few vans with over 300,000 miles and we beat the **** out of them. I also run it in all my vehicles for the extended service life. I haven't had any oil analyzed but it seems to hold up well.

I use the Amsoil 5w40 Euro formula in my VW. I wasn't aware it was so popular in the LSx world. Will probably use it when I build my LSx motor as well. I get mine from a TDIclub member and the last case came to $5.35/qt after shipping.
