    Just switched the girl over to synthetic, flushed the old shit out and in with the new. Got a gallon of Amsoil at $64 a gallon which I thought wasn't to bad.

    Noticing a difference?

    First thing I noticed was it runs a little cooler, and smoother, I bought the oil from Peter down in Maddington, now where did I put his number?

    Ok the guys name is Dean not Peter and he is in Maddington and the nmber is 94598603 and it was $64.60 for a gallon of 20W50 synthetic Amsoil. Nice old fellow, by the look of his workshop he tinkers with motorcycle engines.

    Is Amsoil better than Mobil1 ?

    Who would you believe czarek ???? I have tried Amsoil after using HD mineral oil and it was far better in terms of cooler running temps and less engine noise, but because I can get Mobil 1 closer to home I am now using it and it seems to do the same job as Amsoil. As said on this Forum many times before, there are so many good oils out there I don't think it would matter much which one you used as long as you change em regularly.

    I had trouble finding Mobil V1 and still haven't found it as yet. No trouble with Mobil! for cars but no V1
