I just bought a 2011 Chevy Cruze with the 6 speed manual. It has castrol BOT 402 oil in the trans, a 75w85 weight. I never heard of the stuff before, and cant seem to find a lot of info on it. Just wondering if its good stuff and if there might be a better alternative out there for down the road...

Dont know if this has been posted yet, if it has I'm sorry. I recently sent an e-mail to Amsoil about the top tier oils (ASL, SSO) becoming dexos1 compliant. I got this response: "Daniel - AMSOIL INC. is in the process of reformulating our top-tier oils to meet Dexos 1, and API SN. This will...

I saw Mobil 1 and PP are both now Dexos 1 Approved. I got rid of the Chevy Aveo aka Daewoo POS and bought a 2011 Cruze which requires the Dexos approved oil. I used Valvoline in the Aveo. Between the two major oils that are Dexos approved. Which would you pick? I want full syn and the best...

I recently flushed my 2007 Aveo with 98K miles at the time, using peak global instead of Dexcool aka deathcool. I heard its good stuff thats easy on the cooling system. Just thought I'd ask the experts. This is my second flush. Trying not to have any cooling system related problems before I...

I have a 2007 Aveo with 90K on it. I have changed the transmission fluid every 10K since new by drain/refill. Is there any such thing as changing it too often? The reason I ask is my father claims I will kill my trans cause the fluid contains inportant clutch material that I am getting rid of...

I bought a 98 Silverado with the 5.7 and 4l60E trans. The previous owner took great care of this thing. The trans shifts great and the fluid is clean. I ordered some Amsoil Universal ATF and plan to switch it over. Any problems with switching a 140K truck to Amsoil? I have records showing...

I did a search and looked thought the current SSO posts, but couldn't quite come up with the answers, maybe I missed them somehow. I am a very happy Amsoil customer, have been using ASL. I just jumped on the SSO Bandwagon and bought some to use in the cold winter months. My first question is...

My new schedule leaves me with a lot of cold starts and I am beginning to worry about startup wear. My Schedule: Take wife to work 5:30am - Cold start #1 Take son to school at 8:40am - Cold start #2 - Pickup wife from work, got to work myself @ 1pm - CS #3, Go home from work 10PM CS#4 Is...

Now that I have made Amsoil my perminent engine oil, I was thinking of doing the same for my trans, however I have a few worries. My Trans takes T-IV Fluid, and I have been told that Dexron will destroy my trans, Being that the only amsoil product that fits my car us the universal, which is T-IV...

Found out I could pick up my Amsoil at the warehouse, here 2 miles from my job, with the perfered customer discount, I bought ASL for 5.70 per quart, I can't get PP for that. Whooooohoooo!!! I just mope my little 4 banger likes it. Will be doing a 7500 OCI at first.

What would be a good OCI using Amsoil ASL for a hard working 4 banger with an owner with a heavy lead foot, lots of idling, and 80% highway and 20% city driving. This car is also brand new with 11L miles. I am currently using PP and would like to use Amsoil with an extended OCI. I am most...

What was the highest mileage care you ever owned? What Make/Model/Engine? Mine was a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville SE/3800 V6. It had 195K when I sold it. It is still running today. I had 3k OCI's of M1 and thats about it. It was driven hard and raced.

I used a Mobil 1 EP M1-101 oil filter this last change have been doing some reading and find out alot of folks are using oversized filters for various benefits. My question is this, this will be my first time ever using an oversized filter, I was wonder of 1. its safe to do so? 2. Is there any...

I have been reading alot, and what not, and found that the Premium plus flows much better, and has good filtration, and theres the fact that is costs less. Is there any real reason why I should continue to use Pure Ones?

Thank you AA BOGO sale!!!!!!!!!1 I didn't like the Mobil 1. My engine seems noisier and rougher. Dumped the M1 ofter 2000 miles. Car seems to love PP.

My AVEO uses this fluid, and is a hair low, and I can't find this stuff anywhere. I dont want to get it from the dealer because they charge too much $$$$ for anything. Where is it sold? Also is there a synthetic T-IV?

On my 07 Aveo, I get 34MPG with EXXON or Mobil, and 28MPG with shell. Is this normal? I only buy shell because its the only top tier station in the area.

When I got rid of the factory fill there was glitter in the oil. I know this in normal for an engine breaking in, however is there an oil filter that will catch these particles? I am looking for an oil filter that will catch 99% of the dirt and still have good flow, and I can get from a local...

My next oil change is due on 1500 miles( I drive 30 to 40k miles per year, miles add up quick). I used M1 EP my last change. Seems like good stuff however with the price, its hard to justify. I was thinking of just sticking with M1 and dealing with the cost or going to something like PP or...

I want to go synthetic in my new aveo, which requires 5w30 oil. Which oil should I go with? I have been using 10w30 pp in my olds, I have no experiece really with 5w30 oils. I plan an OCI of 3000 Miles however I still want a full synthetic. Waste of money, maybe, but I like the piece of mind...
