Is Amsoil that good ?

Flushed my trans about a month and half ago - it took about 17 quarts on Amsoil to fill it. I drove 120 miles today on the exspress way . after getting home and before I shut the truck off I decdided to check the trans fluid.

The oil was barly even warm and a vibrant red.

It surprises me so much because I remember before changing it with the Amsoil, the dipstick itself was so hot you could bearly touch it with the older fluid. It's 36 degrees here , so that plays a factor , but still - I consider Amsoil worth the extra money it cost me to use it .

Yes, Amsoil cost a little more initially, but you get what you pay for.

Years ago I was a service mechanic. Using Mobil EP2 grease, bearings would last one month. With Amsoil grease, bearings in the same service lasted three months.

Thats all they use at work in the winter to grease the Machines outside (Amsoil).
I gotta case of it hehe - perks (that'll last me , I only have 2 zerks on my truck lol)
Anyhoo, other greasers won't flow when it gets cold- You can't get it to pump thru the zerks.

I think they cornerd the market here as far as quality.
