I need AMSOIL engine oil

[Steve_SK]

Hello friends,

I have a problem. I've found a sticker on bonnet of my MX-3 (it is genuine Mazda sticker from manufacture) saying I should use 10w30 engine oil. In winter below -25 C 5w30. The problem is I use 5w30 now when there are temps sometimes above 30 C.

So I wanted to buy 10w30 full synthetic engine oil here, but no luck!! I was always said 10w30 is semi-synth and 10w30 doesn't exist as full synth engine oil. After that I found on the internet that AMSOIL 10w30 is full synth, BUT.. the problem is it is not available in my country.

And I would like to ask if there's somebody who is willing to help me and send me 10 bottles (quarts) of this engine oil, or two bigger packages, I need 10 litres (which is about 10 quarts +-). If so, please let me know, I would be very grateful!!! It's unbelievable I can't get 10w30 full synth here.... terrible.

Thank you all!!

You can't get Mobil1, Royal Purple, Redline, or ANY other full syn? Have you tried buying it online, and having them ship it?

[Steve_SK]

I've read a lot about AMSOIL and would like to try it. I can only get Mobil1 from the mentioned oils here. I am going to check if Mobil1 makes 10w30 full synth. The reason I wanted someone to send it are custom fees and ease of getting it. Most of the online shops - when I ask to ship to Slovakia, they just refuse.. ..like "we simply don't have time to go to the post office"..

Anyway, thank you for the tip.

IMO, it wouldn't be worth the hassle, and cost, to get AmsOil, but if you really want to try it, I'll send you some. When you get into the Sytn oils, it's like gasoline. They're the same base, with different additives. I go with Royal Purple, because I don't think the Amsoil is worth the extra $8ish every oil change, which I do about every 3,000 miles, and it's only about $1 more than Mobil1.
If you can get Motul, try that. I've read that it's better than Amsoil.

There are many test proving that amsoil is better then any other brand.

Steve, talk to me on MSN, I have a local amsoil dealer here and may be able to help

[Steve_SK]

Wow! Thank you, Jordan!! When I get home and connect in the evening, I will talk to you.

I've heard AMSOIL is one of the TOP engine oils, I would like to give it a try. I believe many people here use it and are satisfied.

Amsoil costs about 2 or 3 times more than the other brands.......
It's probably not available in europe because the company refuses ACEA certification...

Shipping could be a problem, look on the MSDS sheet under Transportation to see if the product is IATA or ICAO regulated or any special instructions that may be on the sheet pertaining to shipping. If you tell me the Flash point and boiling point I can tell you if there's a problem or not. No sense buying and shipping it only to have it refused.

I go with Royal Purple, because I don't think the Amsoil is worth the extra $8ish every oil change, which I do about every 3,000 miles, and it's only about $1 more than Mobil1.
If you can get Motul, try that. I've read that it's better than Amsoil.

with amsoil you don't have to change it every 3000, if you do you are just wasting the benefits of the oil... amsoil is good for 25k of normal driving and I've been changing it at about 10k in the klze

I'm pretty sure it gets really expensive to ship dangerous goods internationally (I used to be a FedEx dangerous goods agent)

[fowljesse]

You only need to change Royal Purple every 10,000 or so, too, but I do every 3,000ish, and clean the K&N, and change my plugs and wires, and everything too often, also. It's more like communing with my car, than neccessary maintanence. After about 3,000 miles, the oil builds acidity. It's not enough to mention, but I err to the side of caution. I also use only distilled water in the rad, and flush it too often.

[Daninski]

Jesse, it may not be Dangerous goods. I don't think oil is I just mentined that so you could check, just in case.

AMSOIL

Gets my vote.

New studies show that you may be causing more damage by changing your oil too often, instead of topping it off here and there.

Cant find the article at the moment.

[Daninski]

Ya and there's a study that says you got better chances at getting rectal cancer than you do to win the lottery but I'm still buying a ticket.

[solo_ryder]

I change my oil every 10-15k now as I am using the full amsoil system
