You realize that their is Absolutely NO WAY to buy direct from AMSOIL and NO Employees are allowed to sell Product. ALL sales go through a Dealer! Whether the State of Texas, Virginia, Volvo or Even Racing Teams, EVERYTHING goes through a Dealer.You realize he's just a reseller...? He's not actually employed by Amsoil.
With that said. $20/yr gets you "Preferred Customer" pricing which is like 25% less than retail. I bought a gallon of 10w40 for roughly $36 w/tax
Their Canadian distribution is in Edmonton.
I thank you for your repeat business. It means a lot to me. More than any one time sale.just made my 3rd annual call to Bob to get my oil and filter. easy peazy.
i'v been using honda shaft drive oil. i change it each year and grease the splines 50,000 miles and no problems.what type of gear oil do you reccomend for the shaft driven v-star 650 classic (2004)?
I don't use Amsoil and instead use Redline oils in all my vehicles. I was a little surprised Amsoil is blindly saying to run an 8,000 mile oil change interval without first running a couple of used oil samples to get a baseline on the oil to see how the active ingredients are holding up that neutralize the acids that form in the oil.Bevo, I asked them a few similar questions about amsoil 20w50 in my star 950. Bob from amsoil told the that when using a premium synthetic that 10w40 is all that is needed for any weather. He told me that the 20w50 would not hurt my bike considering how hot is has been in Houston. He said to make sure I warm the bike up before riding using 20w50.
The owners manual suggests a 10w40 for cooler weather and I do plan to switch to amsoil 10w40 once it cools off here.
As far as oil life goes he said that when using an amsoil oil filter we can run 8000 miles per oil/filter change. If not using an amsoil filter simply change the filter at 4000 miles and top off the oil. I plan to do this since I'm not currently running an amsoil filter.
I hope this helps. I can forward you the PM that Bob from amsoil sent me if you would like to read it for your self. Just let me know.

The amsoil oil filter is made identical to the Royal Purple oil filters, I have seen cut outs of the filters and they are the same made by the same manufacture. Either filter is a good filter offering the top of the line performance and yes they are synthetic media. I personally use the Royal Purple oil filters because I can buy them at pep boys.I do not know what the composition of materials used is in the amsoil oil filter. I would assume that it is made with synthetic materials because their oil synthetic.
I just sent Bob from amsoil a PM. He responded with all the information. I am sure he would be happy to help you strato.
Corsair, I will post the PM amsoil sent me once I get back to my 'puter.
