I know a guy who is a dealer and can have it drop shipped to my house. I know another guy where I can buy only what I need (since I don't need a case).
Have had Amsoil in it for the last oil change. Cannot justify the expense. Didn't notice any difference over any other oils I've used. Going with Rotella this time around. Seemed to get alot of positive reviews on the old website.
Amsoil is a scam. Anyone that gets sucked into the Amway type multi level marketing hype falls for it. Not me. Do some research on the internet and learn about oil. Oil threads are the spam of internet forums. It's kind of like, how do you kiss a girl? You kiss her like whatever leads to kissing the main attraction.
I wanted to start an "old" oil thread from the previous forum. You remember the one "HELP dealer released bike with no oil" thread. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in the all powerful googe. Too bad to, that one was epic.
I don't think it's snake oil. I think it's a good high quality synthetic. But I don't think it's better than other good quality synthetic oils out there and therefore a bit overpriced.
The previous owner used Amsoil in my '08, at the 10K oil change, I used Kawasaki full synthetic, the average mileage improved from 42mpg on a previous trip, to 46mpg on my last trip. Coincidence? Could be the bike is just now fully broken in, but I'll use Kawasaki synthetic at the next oil change.
I tried it once in my injected outboard. I would usually just top it off after every trip to the lake (three-four times a week). A year later I noticed it had 2 inches of congealed oil in the bottom of the 3 gallon tank. I went back to the factory RAM synthetic after that and have never considered Amsoil again for anything.
