theczechone Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was putting new fluid into my "rebuilt" r180. Didn't know what to use. I did some searching and most people suggested redline. Then, I came across a study that was interesting and well executed: http://www.lastgreatroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/gear-oil-comparison.pdf I then went to advanced auto parts and they had quarts of AMS Oil gear lube on clearance for $2.50 a quart. It was the clear choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) The study was done by AMS. Kind of suspect, I'd say. Edited June 12, 2016 by NewZed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenman Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The study was done by AMS. Kind of suspect, I'd say. How is it any more suspect than similar tests done by Redline, Lucas or Mobile ( if you can find them ) . They're all standard industry tests.

It was the clear choice. Hard to go wrong with Amsoil.....especially at $2.50 a quart!! I've used the their products ( and many others ) for decades. Always Top Tier lubricants, if normally a bit pricey. Still, I've had two Automatic transmissions saved by using Amsoil ATF when they were improperly assembled by so called " experts ". It would be my #1 choice for everything if it wasn't so danged expensive in Canada. Edited June 14, 2016 by Chickenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
