• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

No discussions on oil lately. So maybe time!!!

Help

Did I buy the wrong oil ??

Got a good deal on Amsoil 10w-40 XL motor oil. Not JASO rated. I'm sure I could use up this stuff in my car but will it cause clutch slippage???

Does not say energy conserving.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I would go get the Metric, that's for the wet clutches
 
So Bob the oil guy i take is not impressed with rotella T6 oil an couple other people here are not going to use it anymore. I have 5 gallons of it for my spyder oil changes for the next few yrs. So ? is if I go ahead an use it should I change it out around 5,000 miles instead of closer to 9,000 miles which I doubt I will get to that many miles in a yr. anyway. Or be like some others and switch to another brand, I can use t he T6 in my pickup.
 
I use Crisco Vegetable Oil.

I find that sometimes, I need a burger along the side of a scenic road, so I stop and set up my portable Weber grill. I then apply a THIN coat of this oil on the grill bars by turning my Fumoto drain valve for just a SPLIT SECOND, otherwise my burger tastes like burned 91 octane Chevron gas.

It's great !! Try it !!!!

Well it says it's 100% synthetic on the bottle. It will be great in my Magnum R/T

Those Magnums with the MDS are really finicky when comes to oil. If I remember right they use 5w20. I had to make sure I stuck with the oil or the MDS would act up in cold weather.
 
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!:banghead:

Just let it run its coarse. :shocked:

I been running Amsoil Metric 10W40 now since the start and have no issues with it. In fact I found it helped cut down on the clunking when shifting. JMO

Carry on!

That's the same thing I found, works great for me also!!!
 
Hard to believe your 10W40 Amsoil shears down to a 20W. I have tested it at 9,600 miles and it was still a 40W.

Same here. The lowest mine has registered on the cST100C scale is 12.4 which is about at the bottom of the 40W band. I did get one crankcase of Mobil 1 4T Racing to register 13.1 with 6125 mi on it but I wanted to go the full 9,300 so I switched at that time to Amsoil Metric 10W40.

I'm about to spring for a Diablo tuner( inTune i3) for the Hemi motor. More to tighten up the shifting and to get rid of the MDS which sometimes makes an annoying drone when below 65 mph. But an extra 10 or 15 HP will help move the big girl.

Now that I've switched over to the Amsoil Metric I have noticed the same thing. Clutch action from a stop seemed better also.
