Trying to figure out if it is REALLY worth $16 a quart to use Amsoil over BRP Oil. Does anyone know what Baja Ron charges a quart? 2014 RTL
-
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.
What's BajaRon's Price for Amsoil? Worth it?

Quote he sent me (back in1/2020)for The 10w-40 genuine, fully synthetic:
“All pricing is delivered to your door. These are just examples that I think will best fit your preferences. But I can put together any assortment or combination you like. I don't quote the normal 5 quart amount for 1 oil change since you're getting this for 2 motorcycles and a 5 quart amount is about $2.00 a quart more. Amsoil is always less expensive per quart at the case level. They try to discourage smaller orders. I suppose it's a hassle unpacking and re-packing just 5 or 6 quarts.
1 Case - $134.40 or $11.20 per quart.
2 Cases - $255.95 or $10.66 per quart.”
:firstplace: All the way with any & all of my orders :clap:

I know there’s those that say otherwise but in my opinion BRP is 6500 miles per change and Ams is 8500-9000 miles. 2 of ams vs 3 of BRP as in changes so AMS is cheaper in the end. Buy by the case from bajaron. I run BRP in my 2stoker sleds but ams in my SXS,wheelers and 4 stoke sleds. His prices are the cheapest and I’ve looked everywhere.

In our oil tests we find that typically, the BRP blended oil shears to 20 weight around 5,000 miles. Customers running Amsoil are going between 10 & 12k with good test results.
I've been using Quicksilver from Mercury. Just as good as Amsoil and a lot cheaper. Can get it at Walmart for about $26.00/gal. JASO certified for motorcycles. Been told both Amsoil and Quicksilver under private label supplied by same company.opcorn:
Interesting. I had not heard of this oil before. I looked for some information on it and it's all pretty non-specific. Do you know if it is a true synthetic, or a mineral oil with an additive package, as is more common the case. It says JASO rated. but I'm not seeing anything that states the actual rating. Do you have any specific specifications for this oil? Have you run an analysis on it?

Price of Amsoil
If you want amsoil get it from Ron. You might also consider Valvoline 10-40 synthetic with a picture of a blue motorcycle on the label; Wal Mart carries this and if you keep an eye on it for sales it comes in under $6.00/Qt. FWIW

There are various methods used to obtain the 'Synthetic' label. Back in the beginning, only oils that were selected from certain molecules during the refining process were allowed to use that definition. Then Castrol took standard mineral oil, blended in a man made additive package and called it 'Synthetic'. The process was less expensive and Mobil1 sued because of the patents they had on the refining process to achieve, what up until then, had been the only method able to claim 'Synthetic'. Everyone was completely shocked when Castrol won the case. Some said that Mobil1 assumed it to be such a slam dunk win that they didn't bother to do their homework. Others said that the court, not grasping the science of the differences, just didn't think it a big deal. I can say that the only nation in the world that allows a mineral oil with an additive package to be called 'Synthetic' is the United States.
The fact that they just say 'Synthetic' and give no more details would indicate a mineral oil with an additive package. But maybe not. That's why I was looking.
I'm glad everyone is having good luck with it. Do you know if anyone has had it analyzed? That would be very interesting. If it's as good or better than Amsoil, for less money, I'll be getting that in the future. My only loyalty to Amsoil is based in the tests I and many others have done over the years.

Everything I've read says it is full synthetic, not a blend. Made by Mercury.

This oil here ? Awhile back, I bought the last three bottles on the shelf at the local Walmart for $2.50/QT on clearance.

Yes sir, you could be on to something there.
A "710" thread is just an "OIL" thread that's gone t**s up!
But I don't think this one has.... not yet anyway?!
. Off topic - weeeelll yeah, maybe just a little.... :dontknow: . It's definitely wandering a bit; altho so far, I'd say that even that wandering has at least been reasonably within an acceptable range/scope of the original discussion! Thanks everyone. :thumbup: So as I mentioned above, I don't think this thread's gone t**s up - not yet anyway!
