Before blowing a lot of money on expensive oil; spend the $25 for an oil analysis and find out how effective the oil you're currently using is.

Make sure you send in your used oil and not new oil. Just making sure everyone is on the same page.
I have analysis of 10/30 amsoil I can post up at some point.

That is expensive. I just use Pennzoil Platinum for regular oil chance at half the price.

- Pennzoil Platinum on the engine
- Mixture of BG SynchroShift 2 and Redline Lightweight shockproof on the trans
- Redline on the diff

About $10.50 a bottle at Winchester, but it comes in the cool silver and blue square bottle! haha

I don't understand why they charge so damn much. 8.75 is what they should charge. I'm not even a dealer and that's what I pay for 10/30.

They should be getting dealer pricing which has to be cheaper. The amsoil dealer in Burlingame doesn't charge that much and ths all he sells.
